How do you play a video in your app?

I have a video saved in my xcode project that I want to play as a response to a button click. Does IOS have built in media API's to handle that? Could anyone give the class name that handles video on the iPhone?

Here's some code to get you started:

MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"yourfilename" ofType:@"m4v"]]];
        [[moviePlayerController view] setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, parentView.frame.size.width, parentView.frame.size.height)];
        [moviePlayerController setShouldAutoplay:NO];
        [moviePlayerController setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleEmbedded];
        [[moviePlayerController backgroundView] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
        [moviePlayerController prepareToPlay];

By the documentation you have to set the MPMoviePlayerController's frame with a frame as big as the parent view's.

MPMoviePlayerViewController. Please search a little bit before asking questions.

Yes iOS does contain media API's to handle that.
