Notes on how to use Android android.widget.VideoView.

Simple example

You can play a video simply as follows.

First, add a VideoView to the Layout as below. 

<VideoView
    android:id="@+id/videoview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

Then insert the code to play the video into the Activity. 

VideoView video = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoview);

// 필요하다면 미디어 컨트롤러를 추가할 수 있다.
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
mc.setAnchorView(video);
mc.setMediaPlayer(video);
video.setMediaController(mc);

// 재생할 영상 URI를 적용한다.
String path="http://qthttp.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1010qwoeiuryfg/sl.m3u8";
//String path="http://sites.google.com/site/ubiaccessmobile/sample_video.mp4";
//String path="http://video.webmfiles.org/big-buck-bunny_trailer.webm";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
video.setVideoURI(uri);

// 재생.
video.start();

Note that playing a video via a URI uses the Internet, so you must add the permission to the Manifest as below. 

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

        video.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        video.setZOrderOnTop(true);
        video.setVideoPath(path);

        // 비디오 컨트롤러연동.
        MediaController controller = new MediaController(this);
        controller.setAnchorView(video);
        // controller.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); // 미디어 컨트롤러 HIDE.
        video.setMediaController(controller);

        _video_preview = video;
    }
}
