I have a button on the main tab of my apps that attempts to launch a video from an URL via second activity

I have tested with a Blank activity and successfully displayed 'Hello' when the said button is click. I then removed the 'Hello' editext and added codes to the java file as suggested in another similar post.

When the video btn is clicked, I get the message ;Can't play this video, Ok'

I have already tested the youtube link it is a valid link. Yet logcat error message include :

10-07 09:04:36.785: I/MediaPlayer(11397): path is null
10-07 09:04:36.795: D/MediaPlayer(11397): setDataSource IOException happend : 
10-07 09:04:36.795: D/MediaPlayer(11397): 
java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider: http://youtu.be/RFrg1xFoxeQ

Where do I go from here ?

An XML for the second activity is as follows :- 

<VideoView
    android:id="@+id/videoView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</TableLayout>

Corresponding Java file

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_serve_motion_up_together);
    String videoPath2 = "http://youtu.be/RFrg1xFoxeQ";
    VideoView videoView1 = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView1);

    videoView1.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(videoPath2));
    videoView1.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
    videoView1.setVisibility(1);
    videoView1.bringToFront();
    videoView1.requestFocus();
    videoView1.start();       

}

Try this:

String LINK = "http://youtu.be/RFrg1xFoxeQ";
setContentView(R.layout.mediaplayer);
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
mc.setAnchorView(videoView);
mc.setMediaPlayer(videoView);
Uri video = Uri.parse(LINK);
videoView.setMediaController(mc);
videoView.setVideoURI(video);
videoView.start();

i'm not sure it will work, but worth a try

You cannot simply put YouTube url to MediaPlayer. After all that's the link to some webpage. Android is trying to handle that, though there is no ContentProvider for that url (schema, domain etc.). If you want to play youtube videos in your application you should look into YouTube SDK for Android.
