how can i play videos on android if they are stored in a FOLDER in the sdcard1?

Question

the getExternalStorageDirectory() returns the path to sdcard0. But generally videos and audios are stored in the sdcard1, that too in folders. How can i get the path to these folders ?

You can try set path like this:

...("/sdcard1/folder/file");

But then,the path will be specific to my device only, won't it? – Prat Jan 06 '14 at 14:54

Try this,

Make videoView,

VideoView videoView;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoView);        
    videoView.setVideoPath("/sdcard1/blonde_secretary.3gp");
    videoView.start();  
}

I hope this will solve your problem.
