The directory in my device wich containing the video files is:
I:\DCIM\100MEDIA

Now in the code in the manifest xml file i added this two lines:

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

Now i can play with a link in my code a file from youtube from the internet play it on my android device. Its a format .3gp file. But now i want to play this .3gp files directly from my android local directory videos that i have recorded on my android device.

So the directory in my device local folder with all my video files is:
I:\DCIM\100MEDIA

Now this is the code im using wich is working to play the video file from the internet:

package com.AllFormatsVideoPlay;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.*;
import android.net.*;

public class AllFormatsVideoPlayActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
	VideoView vView;
	String vSource;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        
        vView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoView);
        vView.requestFocus();
        vSource ="rtsp://v6.cache1.c.youtube.com/CjYLENy73wIaLQnF4qJzpSt4nhMYESARFEIJbXYtZ29vZ2xlSARSBXdhdGNoYMDFmvL1wMysTQw=/0/0/0/video.3gp";
        vView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(vSource));
        vView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
        vView.start();
    }
}

Now what should i change how and where to play video files from my local device ?
For example to play this video wich is on my android device: I:\DCIM\100MEDIA\VIDEO0030.3gp

I tried to put this I:\DCIM\100MEDIA\VIDEO0030.3gp instead the link in my code of the yuotube tried with I: without I: tried as / and \
But getting on my device android error message "cannot play this video".

Hwo can i play files that i have recorded on my android device ?

Thanks.

The Eclipse forums do not provide Android support. You should ask your
