In Other Word in these android tutorials, I share how to play video from the server using API. in your API have a JSON URL

how to Play the Video Link in your App

Step 2: Open Your XML file and Add this Code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:background="@android:color/black"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <VideoView
        android:id="@+id/videoView"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</RelativeLayout>

</LinearLayout>

in the XML file, I add a video view Layout for play video.

Step 3: Open You Java File and add these code.

public class VideoPlayer extends AppCompatActivity {
    ProgressDialog pDialog;
    VideoView videoview;
   String vid_url ="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnOcXQL2wDA&t=18s";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_video_player);
        Intent intent = getIntent();
       // String vid_url = intent.getStringExtra("video_url");
        videoview = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
        pDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
        pDialog.setTitle("Video Stream");
        pDialog.setMessage("Buffering...");
        pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
        pDialog.setCancelable(true);
        pDialog.show();
        try {
            MediaController mediacontroller = new MediaController(this);
            mediacontroller.setAnchorView(videoview);
            Uri video = Uri.parse(vid_url);
            videoview.setMediaController(mediacontroller);
            videoview.setVideoURI(video);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        videoview.requestFocus();
        videoview.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
            public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
                VideoPlayer.this.pDialog.dismiss();
                VideoPlayer.this.videoview.start();
            }
        });
        videoview.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
               finish();
            }
        });


    }
}

in java class implement VideoView and use a string of URL you can play this used is used in a string value and these complete and run you app and testing

Android download video from URL and save to internal storage
