Android Video Playback

• Create a layout for video playback

    setContentView(R.layout.video_playback);

• Create a video view and video controller for video playback

    mVideoView = (VideoView)findViewById(
                                R.id.video_playback_view);

    mMediaController = new MediaController(this);

    mVideoView.setMediaController(mMediaController);

    mVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(
                   new OnPreparedListener() {

        @Override

        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {

            AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager)
                getApplicationContext().getSystemService(
                    Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);

            mOriginalVideoVolume = audioManager.
                getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

            if (mOriginalVideoVolume != mVideoVolume) {

                audioManager.setStreamVolume(
                    AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, mVideoVolume,
                    AudioManager.FLAG_PLAY_SOUND);

            }

            int duration = mVideoView.getDuration();

            mMediaController.show(duration);

            mVideoView.start();

        }

    });

    mVideoView.setOnCompletionListener(
                   new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {

        @Override

        public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {

            AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager)
                getApplicationContext().
                    getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);

            if (mOriginalVideoVolume != mVideoVolume) {

                audioManager.setStreamVolume(
                    AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
                    mOriginalVideoVolume,
                    AudioManager.FLAG_PLAY_SOUND);

            }

            finish();

        }

    });

• Set video path on resume

    protected void onResume() {

        ...

        if (mVideoPath.equalsIgnoreCase("default_video")) {

            finish();

        } else

            mVideoView.setVideoPath(mVideoPath);

    }
