[android-developers] Re: Stream youtube to a videoview?
One stupid question... I can't get Eclipse to understand that the line : String uristr = rtsp://rtsp.youtube.com/youtube/videos/ + page + /video.3gp; is a valid line (page is a String variable that includes the video I want to play). It says that is invalid... On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 11:26 AM, dadical keyes...@gmail.com wrote: I've done this before.

[android-developers] Re: ListView....
You know - I believe that would work quite nicely...
