I Am Trying To Play Video From Google Drive Using Shareable Link In Video View But Unable To Play What Is The Solution For This?

this is my code mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoview); VideoView videoView = findViewById(R.id.videoview); // videoPath='https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dXndP-Mj

Solution 1:

You have to edit the link. Use String functions to edit the text.

• Replace open? with uc?authuser=0&.

• Add &export=download at URL text ending.

so videoPath= like below:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dXndP-MjQL7USlP0EtaElx67mXujqCSX

becomes:

https://drive.google.com/uc?authuser=0&id=1dXndP-MjQL7USlP0EtaElx67mXujqCSX&export=download

Example code:

//# fix path
videoPath = videoPath.replace("open?", "uc?authuser=0&");
videoPath = videoPath + "&export=download";

//# try to playUriuri= Uri.parse(videoPath);
videoView.setVideoURI(uri);

MediaControllermediaController=newMediaController(this);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
