How to Play Video In ListView in Android
I want to play video in my application. I created a custom ListView with VideoView. The VideoView displayed successfully but one problem is that when I am move list view VideoView changed its position. This is not looking good in my application. My requirement is that when click on button video should start played in that area of list view only. How could I achieve this?
Here is code of displaying VideoView in ListView:
public class MyVideoAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
Context context;
String a[];
LayoutInflater inflate;
VideoView vv;
ImageButton img;
public MyVideoAdapter(Context context, String[] a) {
this.context = context;
this.a = a;
inflate = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return a.length;
}
@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return position;
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = convertView;
if (convertView == null)
v = inflate.inflate(R.layout.row, null);
img = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);
String ans = a[position];
if (ans.equals("one")) {
vv = (VideoView) v.findViewById(R.id.VideoView);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(context);
mc.setAnchorView(vv);
mc.setMediaPlayer(vv);
// Uri uri=Uri.parse("https://www.dropbox.com/s/d5blvemu8yse38s/kesari.mp4");
// vv.setMediaController(mc);
String path = "android.resource://com.example.wealthcreation/raw/kesari";
vv.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
img.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
img.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
vv.start();
}
});
// img.setImageResource(R.drawable.k1);
// ImageButton img=(ImageButton)v.findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);
// Button btn1=(Button)v.findViewById(R.id.btnplay);
/*
img.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
vv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
img.setVisibility(View.GONE);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(context);
mc.setAnchorView(vv);
mc.setMediaPlayer(vv);
// Uri uri=Uri.parse("https://www.dropbox.com/s/d5blvemu8yse38s/kesari.mp4");
vv.setMediaController(mc);
String path = "android.resource://com.example.wealthcreation/raw/kesari";
vv.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
vv.start();
String videoId = "CUuBdtsQx6U";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("vnd.youtube:"
+ videoId));
intent.putExtra("VIDEO_ID", videoId);
context.startActivity(intent);
// Toast.makeText(context, "Hii",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// this intent define an action and and parse the url
// context.startActivity(new
// Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUuBdtsQx6U")));
/*
WebView webview = new WebView(context);
String htmlString = "<html> <body> <embed src=\"youtube link\"; type=application/x-shockwave-flash width="

+ " height="

webview.loadData(htmlString, "text/html", "UTF-8");
try
{

mp.prepare();
mp.start();
}
catch (Exception e)
{

}
});
*/

In your case,You have already parse your data in XML format so difinately you have to store all your data in HashMap Arraylist with particular key for your Video url.
Now, what can do, If you need to open Video on Item Click of ListView then you can retrieve your video url in String like
String myUrl = urHashMaparraylist.get(position).get("videolocation");
Now pass this myUrl to next Activity and just set this String as a
Uri video = Uri.parse(myUrl);
videoView.setVideoURI(video);
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
String myUrl = urHashMaparraylist.get(position).get("videolocation");
Intent n = new Intent(YourActivityName.this , NewActivityName.class);
n.putExtra("videolocation",myUrl);
startActivity(n);
}
});
Now in your next Activity retrieve it as a
Uri video = Uri.parse(url);
videoView.setVideoURI(video);
For more reference for video streaming ... you can check the following url: http://developer.samsung.com/android/technical-docs/Android-Media-Streaming-Tutorial you can even check my answer at How Do I Play Video in ListView like Instagram and Vine?

I was stumped with this too until I found this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6832598/3367142
In short set a transparent background for your VideoView
android:background="#0000"
