Yes if you bring some codecs for your file format (.Flv I think) because android does not have those codes.

For a mp4 file use something like this:

try {
        setContentView(R.layout.videodisplay);
        String link="http://s1133.photobucket.com/albums/m590/Anniebabycupcakez/?action=view& current=1376992942447_242.mp4";
        VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView);
        MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
        mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
        Uri video = Uri.parse(link);
        videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
        videoView.setVideoURI(video);
        videoView.start();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
        Toast.makeText(this, "Error connecting", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
