Thanks for all your help! I've been trying out your original idea, but I still seem to be having issues.
I have moved the SurfaceView to main.xml, it looks like this: <?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" > <SurfaceView android:id="@+id/surface_view" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent"></SurfaceView> </LinearLayout> And now onCreate looks like this: setContentView(R.layout.main); SurfaceView sv = (SurfaceView) findViewById (R.id.surface_view); SurfaceHolder holder = sv.getHolder(); holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); try { MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); AssetFileDescriptor afd = getResources().openRawResourceFd (R.raw.video); mp.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(), afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getLength()); afd.close(); mp.setDisplay(holder); mp.prepare(); mp.start(); } catch {...} There are no errors ever thrown, but the process dies on mp.prepare() without any warning or useful debug info. Is there potentially some other way I should be setting the data source for a resource? Or something else I'm forgetting to do that would make prepare mysteriously kill the entire process?
