Playing multiple videos at a time

Question

I am using following code to run multiple videos at a time. UPDATED CODE

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

    video1=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.myvideoview);
    video1.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://" +getPackageName()+ "/"+R.raw.sample));
    video1.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
    video1.requestFocus();

    video2=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.myvideview);
    video2.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://" +getPackageName()+ "/"+R.raw.sample1));
    video2.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
    video2.requestFocus();

    Thread view1=new Thread(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            android.os.Process.setThreadPriority(android.os.Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_DISPLAY);
            video1.start();
        }
    });

    Thread view2=new Thread(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            android.os.Process.setThreadPriority(android.os.Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_DISPLAY);
            video2.start();
        }
    });

    view1.start();
    view2.start();
}

And it is giving me error and

mediaPlayer error (1, -110) 

And suddenly dialog box appears and shows that can not play this video

Any suggesion??

Answer 1

You can't do UI related operations on background threads. Android does all UI operations on the main thread. That's why the error message says "Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views."

Answer 2

I got the solutions....

Above code posted by me works but it is depend upon h/w accelerator. If it supports multi-video view at a time then it will work fine else it will give you error This media can not be played
