How to play video in VideoView Android Studio Video Player App - Part 9

In this Video Player App Series, I am going to implement how we can play video from Recyclerview in VideoView in android studio

So let's start.

1. we have to create new Activity and name it like VideoPlayer and after creating the activity go to the video_player_activity.xml and add this code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:keepScreenOn="true"
    tools:context=".activity.VideoPlayer">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/zoom_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center">

        <VideoView
            android:id="@+id/video_view"
            android:keepScreenOn="true"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    </RelativeLayout>


</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

2. add setOnClickListener on VideoFolderAdapter.java

holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(context, VideoPlayer.class);
        intent.putExtra("p", position);
        context.startActivity(intent);
    }
});

3. add this code to your VideoPlayer.java

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.VideoView;

import com.example.player.R;

import static com.example.player.adapter.VideosAdapter.videoFolder;

public class VideoPlayer extends AppCompatActivity {

    int position = -1;
    private VideoView videoView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_video_player);

        videoView = findViewById(R.id.video_view);

        position = getIntent().getIntExtra("p", -1);
        String path = videoFolder.get(position).getPath();
        if (path!=null){
            videoView.setVideoPath(path);
            videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
                @Override
                public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
                    videoView.start();
                }
            });
        }else {
            Toast.makeText(this, "path didn't exits", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

    }
}
