Delay in playing video file from Input Stream

I am playing the video file from input stream below is my method:

public static String getDataSource(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException {
            InputStream stream = inputStream;
            if (stream == null)
                throw new RuntimeException("stream is null");
            File temp = File.createTempFile("mediaplayertmp", "dat");
            temp.deleteOnExit();
            String tempPath = temp.getAbsolutePath();
            FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(temp);
            byte buf[] = new byte[128];
            do {
                int numread = stream.read(buf);
                if (numread <= 0)
                    break;
                out.write(buf, 0, numread);
            } while (true);
            try {
                stream.close();
                out.close();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
              //  Log.e(TAG, "error: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
            }
            return tempPath;
          }

But on click of button there is a delay of 3 to 4 seconds to play the video file, why so can any one please help me out?

This delay is due to writing data to temporary file.Instead you can use ParcelFileDescriptor to avoid writing to a temporary file.You can use link(http://www.mattakis.com/blog/kisg/20090708/broadcasting-video-with-android-without-writing-to-the-file-system) as reference.
