VideoView and Content Provider

[plevintampabay]

Hi,
According to the Android API for VideoView, it can load images (videos) from a content provider.
Yet I can not find any examples of how to write a content provider that can do this.
Can you point me to such an example?

Thanks,
Paul

Hello. Are you referring to this one? https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/VideoView.html

Thank you for the reply, but NO, there is nothing in that web site (book) that shows how to use VideoView with a Content Provider. The VideoView example sets the video path to an mp4 file on the web.

Alright, try this: Play Video File - Android Example

Also, I found you on StackExchange Someone replied to your question.

Thanks again, but again that is not a content provider. That code is playing a video file that is a resource in the project.

*Snaps fingers* Dang it. I'll see if I can get someone else to help. I am not experienced in Android API's or Android App Development in General. Too bad it's not Visual Basic!
