[android-beginners] Re: How do I set the value of an EditText
An error message would be helpful Otherwise it's hard to help you, other than guessing what could be the reasons for it. Maybe you haven't set the ID correctly, using a wrong ID (which doesn't even exist in the XML Layout file) or you're using setContentView/setView after you have using findViewById. This could throw up a NullPointer Exception when you try to access (because findViewById returns 0 if no layout has been set or the View with this ID was not found).

Don't you think download from the server is too slow for a video file ? I still don't get why the video couldn't be played as a resource Does there anyone else got more luck ?

As I said earlier, I think the problem with video files is that the appt compiler compresses them. You could decompress them yourself and copy them to the SD card.

Finally I have decided to put all my audio data to SD card. I can do this as suggested by you for a manual check. *adb push /path/on/workstation/video.mp4 /sdcard* This will work on my emulator. If I want to do this for a real device than my code should first push all my audio data in the user's SD card. Can you please show me a way how to do this? Is there any predefined folder like drawable/raw (Or some other like this) which can directly put our data in sdcard instead of application's private folder? On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 1:34 AM, Dave Sparks davidspa...@android.com wrote: You can call android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() to get the path to the external storage device. That will handle the case where recommended external store is no the SD card but some other device. If there is no external storage, you can try saving to your app's private data directory. Another alternative it to stream the media from a server, but this obviously introduces the complexity and cost of maintaining the service for your users. All of the Android standard apps (camera, music, sound recorder) that create or use media files assume that the device will have external storage. In the end, you have to decide whether it's worth supporting users that don't have external storage.

I am a bit curious to know limitation of doing this. 1. sd card may not be an part of all the Android devices. 2. If it is the case, all users may not purchase it as an extra item considering extra cost. 3. If so, an application which reads only from an sd card may not work properly on all devices. Can you please guide me if there is an alternate way for storing the media files? I know I can directly keep this in, with my apk under raw folder, but this will made an application larger to download. The total disk size available for an android application is only 70 mb. So one has to think for keeping his apk size to minimum.

Usually - no matter what kind of bug you might have - something happens, it's just not what you expected to happen. For example, do you have log output? My guess is that you cannot use an MP4 as a raw resource because it gets compressed. I can't recall if we exclude it or not, but you normally don't want to bundle a resource like a video file into your resources.
