Alas, I could not see your code, but this is usually done using the setDataSource()-method of class MediaPlayer:

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

MediaPlyer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
if (PLAY_FROM_FILE) {
  File mediaFile = new File("SOME_MEDIA_FILE");
  FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(mediaFile);
  mediaPlayer.setDataSource(fis.getFD());
}
else {
  //playing from the Web:
  mediaPlayer.setDataSource("http://exmaple.com/someVideo.mp4"); //works also for rtsp
}
mediaPlayer.start();
