Change MediaPlayer URI

I have the following working code:

@Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        this.setContentView(R.layout.player);

        videoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
        playVideo();

        // video finish listener
        videoView.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {

                @Override
                public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
                        mp.start();
                }
        });
    }

    public void playVideo() {
                MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
                videoView.setMediaController(mc);
                videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://sayedhashimi.com/downloads/android/movie.mp4"));
                videoView.requestFocus(); 
        }

I just want to change the MediaPlayer data source when the video finishes (setOnCompletionListener).

Here is my solution:

mp.release()
mp = createNew(context,newUri)
mp.start()

Anything else I tried gave me errors as mentioned here. Creating new media player every time won't be that harmful for performance as you will most likely have only one at a time anyway.

hope it helps ; )

I'm working on this same issue. Here is what I've come up with:

   public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
       mp.reset();
       mp.setDataSource(this, newUri);
       mp.start();
   }
