        }
    }

while i m getting response code 405 ? what is the issue ? the same url in mobile and desktop browser responding me.

Try **Postman** or **AdvanceDREST Client** chrome extension to test the URL. Add the headers which you are using here and test the URL for POST and GET methods both. — Geet Choubey, Jul 26 '16 at 07:08
i already tested the url on postman with GET request its working fine no headers required in postman @GeetChoubey — Erum, Jul 26 '16 at 07:18

I would highly recommend using the official vimeo-networking Java/Android library for talking to the Vimeo API.

The library will take care of all of the networking logic (so you won't need to HttpURLConnection boilerplate) and it also offers calls to get videos by URI.

Here is how to request a single video. It essentially looks like:

String uri = ...;// the video uri; if you have a Video, this is video.uri
VimeoClient.getInstance().fetchNetworkContent(uri, new ModelCallback<Video>(Video.class) {
     @Override
     public void success(Video video) {
          // use the video
     }

     @Override
     public void failure(VimeoError error) {
          // voice the error
     }
});

Then if you own the video, you can access any information you want right off of the Video object in the library. Information like video.files which returns a VideoFile which gives you access to the links you'd want.

Then if you own the video, you can access any information i dnt have my own account of vimeo and dnt have any videos on my own setup .Moreover i just have videos link that is youtube , dailymotion , vimeo so i just have to play vimeo videos using its own sdk because i m not getting real url from my api response – Erum Jul 28 '16 at 06:38
Using the API, you can only access the `files` object on a `Video` if you're the person who uploaded that video (with a PRO account). On web, there is an "embedded player" which lets you play any video but as of right now there is no embedded player option on Android. Please refer to [this link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9030524/auto-playing-vimeo-videos-in-android-webview) which covers getting a player on Android using a `WebView` to play the web embedded player. – Kyle Venn Jul 28 '16 at 12:51

Your code seems problematic, since for simple GET string request OutputStream and Buffer Classes were causing exception. Try this simple code. Working fine on my side.

 @Override
            protected String doInBackground(Vector<Object>... params) {

                String result = "";
                url = "https://player.vimeo.com/video/136004191/config";

                try {

                    URL obj = new URL(url);

                    HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();

                    // optional default is GET
                    con.setRequestMethod("GET");
                    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                            new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
                    String inputLine;
                    StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();

                    while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
                        response.append(inputLine);
                    }
                    in.close();

                    //print result
                    System.out.println(response.toString());

                    result = response.toString();
                } catch (SocketTimeoutException e1) {
                    e1.printStackTrace();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

                } finally {
                    Log.d(TAG, result);
                    return result;
                }
            }
