VideoView has two different ways of specifying which video to play:
What is the difference between the two and when should one or the other be used?
Look at the source code, nothing is different apart from the type you pass.
/**
* Sets video path.
*
* @param path the path of the video.
*/
public void setVideoPath(String path) {
setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
}
/**
* Sets video URI.
*
* @param uri the URI of the video.
*/
public void setVideoURI(Uri uri) {
setVideoURI(uri, null);
}
If you use setVideoPath
it creates the Uri
for you, so use whichever you want - depending on if you have a Uri
or String
path.
