Video playback in Android through data folder
Hey all,
I am developing an app for the Android market that will require video playback within the app. as I have seen in numerous threads forum.processing.org/one/topic/video-playback-on-android.html I will need to manually place the file into an Android directly and NOT the data folder(doing so causes error in playback). This is unacceptable since I will be having this in the market, and would not want my users having to download an external file just run my app correctly.
Does anyone have a workaround?
Answers
Your app can download the file upon first launch and then place it in an appropriate folder (without user interaction). This is common practice with many apps that require large files so as to keep the size of the APK down. I believe that there may be a Google Play service for this, but otherwise, you're on your own in terms of implementation.
