Using VideoView, how to remove “can't play this video” alert message?

Question

Our app plays a set of videos, sometimes we are getting can\'t play this video alert message.

We are either playing video from sd card or streaming if that video is

Answer 1

Returning false or not having an OnErrorListener at all will cause the OnCompletionListener to be called.

So return true instead of false from the function and no error will be shown, i.e.

video.setOnErrorListener(new OnErrorListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
        Log.d("video", "setOnErrorListener ");
        return true;
    }
});
