Showing a video in a VideoView by its URL

Question

I am trying to load a video in VideoView in my app but when I open it, it says that it can't play this video. This is my code:

video=findViewById(R.id.mainVideoView);                     

    Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DlLVrP_nzvB8&ved=2ahUKEwjjxtCQ_abgAhVUuXEKHTdUAggQwqsBMAR6BAgHEAU&usg=AOvVaw29VZ4OKcAgFXwyBjLjgTcN");
    video.setVideoURI(uri);
    MediaController mc = new MediaController(MainActivity.this);
    video.setMediaController(mc);
    video.requestFocus();
    video.start();

Answer 1

you can't play youtube videos by using videoView as you mention in your question. kindly use this library, that allows you to play youtube videos in your android app. youtube_android_player_api
