Here is another working code

MainActivity.java

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_video_view);

    VideoView videoView =(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoView);
    MediaController mediaController= new MediaController(this);
    mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
    Uri uri=Uri.parse("rtsp://r2---sn-a5m7zu76.c.youtube.com/Ck0LENy73wIaRAnTmlo5oUgpQhMYESARFEgGUg5yZWNvbW1lbmRhdGlvbnIhAWL2kyn64K6aQtkZVJdTxRoO88HsQjpE1a8d1GxQnGDmDA==/0/0/0/video.3gp");
    videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
    videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
    videoView.requestFocus();

    videoView.start();


}

activity_video_view.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<VideoView android:id="@+id/videoView"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>

You can't do that. Use YouTubeAndroidApi for playing YouTube videos.

Solution 3

There might be many reasons to not play the video,You can test it on other devices also set android:hardwareAccelerated="true" in manifest

try following listeners to get correct issue

playerview.setOnPreparedListener(preparelistener);
        playerview.setOnErrorListener(errorlistenr);
        playerview.setOnCompletionListener(completelistener);
