I want to get the video size in MB from videoview from internet path

Question

I'm trying to get the video file size and display it in the layout before starting the video.

I have tried many thing but it wont work

video_player_view = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView2);
    media_Controller = new MediaController(this);
    dm = new DisplayMetrics();
    this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);
    int height = dm.heightPixels;
    int width = dm.widthPixels;
    try {
        video_player_view.setMinimumWidth(width);
        video_player_view.setMinimumHeight(height);
    } catch (Exception e) {}
    video_player_view.setMediaController(media_Controller);
    video_player_view.setVideoPath(path);
    video_player_view.start();


    if (savedInstanceState != null) {
        video_player_view.seekTo(savedInstanceState.getInt("current_position"));
    }

    vidTitle = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.vidTitle);
    vidDesc = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.vidDesc);
    vidSize = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.vidSize);
    vidDur = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.vidDur);
    vidDownload = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.vidDownload);
    vidFav = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.vidFav);
    vidTitle.setText(singleVideoInfo.title);
    vidDesc.setText(singleVideoInfo.description);
    video_player_view.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
            progressBarCircularIndeterminate.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            int duration = video_player_view.getDuration() / 1000;
            int hours = duration / 3600;
            int minutes = (duration / 60) - (hours * 60);
            int seconds = duration - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
            String formatted = String.format("Duration: %d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds);
            vidDur.setText(formatted);
            //vidSize.setText("???");


        }
    });

I want the video size to appear while the video is initializing in onPreparedlistener

I tried this

URL myUrl = new URL("http://your_url.com/file.mp4");
URLConnection urlConnection = myUrl.openConnection(); 
urlConnection.connect();
int file_size = urlConnection.getContentLength();
    file_size = file_size /1024;

and this

URL myUrl = new URL("http://your_url.com/file.mp4");
myConnection = myUrl.openConnection();
List headersize = myConnection.getHeaderFields().get("content-Lenght");

nothing would work Please help

I think there's a size limit with the way you're doing it. Try this way:

final URL uri=new URL("http://your_url.com/file.mp4");
URLConnection connection;
try
{
   connection=uri.openConnection();
   connection.connect();
   final String contentLengthStr=ucon.getHeaderField("content-length");
   // do whatever
}

catch(final IOException exception)
{
}

edit: i just noticed you have tried something similar, but you spelt length incorrectly, maybe it's just that
