How to create a Video Player

Question

I'm trying to create a simple video player with 3 buttons: play, stop and pause. My video will be from the raw folder or at a server url that I will upload it to. Do you have any tutorial on this in order to get some ideas? Also, I have created a media player with a song, but I think that this can't work for videos, right?

another way would be to add a flash video player in my project and just add my video inside it.. — menu_on_top, Mar 05 '11 at 01:25
If you made it flash, you'll limit your product to those few phones that support flash. — John, Mar 05 '11 at 01:31

There's a project sample in the SDK for the VideoView. You can attach a MediaController to it, which will show you play/pause stop and skip buttons. It's also on the developer website, here.

this may be what you are looking for: http://davanum.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/android-%E2%80%93-videomusic-player-sample-take-2/

To make this more abstract, the VideoView Widget is what you need.
