Video View VideoView.setVideoURI(android.net.Uri)' on a null object reference

Question

i try to play a video in a VideoView, therefore i used the following code:

PlayVideo();
}


private void PlayVideo(){
    String urlPath = "android.resource://love.dominikhartlug.clate/"+R.raw.vido;
    Uri uri = Uri.parse(urlPath);

    vw.setVideoURI(uri);
    vw.start();
}
}

i return always the following error message:

.VideoView.setVideoURI(android.net.Uri)' on a null object reference

if i list all files from my raw folder, the file vido.mp4 does exist.

does anyone have a solution?

are you initializing vw before going to set url? – Arti Patel Jun 16 '18 at 17:55 — Arti Patel, Jun 16 '18 at 17:55

Bro just use normal link instead of what you are using here ... like “www.website.com/videos/sample.mp4” – Abhishek Sengupta Jun 16 '18 at 19:18
