Load video in an Activity and display it in another one

Here is the code I use to load my video:

VideoView videoView = findViewById(R.id.video);

videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(url));

videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
                mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
                videoView.start();
                loader.loaded.set(true);
            }
        });

My application contains a "Loading Activity" and I would like to use it to load my video before going to the next Activity.

Is it possible to load a video in an Activity, but to display it in another one?

Thank you for any help you can provide!

PS:

Just in case someone asks, the following line enables me to hide the videoView before it is completely loaded (because a big black square is displayed before the video is fully loaded):

loader.loaded.set(true);

You can load the video in the loading activity and store it in a custom class that implements Serializable. Then, you pass the video data with an Intent object while going to the next activity.

You can't move views between activities. You should instead use Fragments. Load the video in one fragment and pass it to the other
