How to play the video from raw folder using intent?

Question

I am getting the exception as:

Android.Content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent.

var video = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(@"android.resource://" + 
Forms.Context.PackageName + "/Raw/" + Resource.Raw.sampleVideo);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionView, video);
intent.SetDataAndType(video,"video/*");
Forms.Context.StartActivity(intent);

I want to play the video from raw folder in xamarin.android using android intent. — Shalini Ravi, Nov 14 '17 at 11:36
