[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer StreamVideo question.
Hi, i did that...thats why my program launches youtube (cause i found examples of that). But, it shows a dialog asking the user to pick between Youtube player and the browser. I just want to know if you can eliminate that box and only use the youtube player. I will keep looking on google. but if someone knows off the top of their heads...let me know. Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer StreamVideo question.
Mark, I will take a look at that and try out the progressbar thingy. Now for my other issue with streaming the video (it is laggy...cause it catches up to real time then it needs to buffer more), what would be the best solution group? I would like to check how much buffered then play it at a certain percentage, but when it catches up, I would pause the video until it buffers more then it would resume. Or, what would be a better solution. Another solution could be downloading temp files, but I want your guys take on that also. My ears are open on this subject since I never tackled something like this before. Thanks a bunch group.

[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer StreamVideo question.
Mark, so the ProgressBar going on top of the SurfaceView worked. Actually all I had to do was: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? FrameLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent SurfaceView android:id=@+id/vid android:layout_gravity=center android:layout_width=match_parent android:layout_height=match_parent /SurfaceView ProgressBar android:id=@+id/ProgressBar01 style=?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_weight=1 android:layout_height=wrap_content android:paddingLeft=2px android:layout_gravity=center|bottom/ /FrameLayout So, now I just need help to fix the lagging streaming video.

[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer StreamVideo question.
Any reason why you couldn't post your videos to YouTube and let the (often built-in) YouTube app or its mobile HTML5 web site figure out what to do with them? The bonus is that you do no extra coding, your app stays smaller, and people have the option to view them in higher quality on their desktop.

Ok, so now it streams the video. Thanks. But now the problem is, how can I put a buffering bar on top of the surfaceview so they know when it will play.
