android - Video is not showing on VideoView but I can hear its sound

Question

• On my button click I wrote the following code for playing video from my SDCARD (mp4).

  video_view = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.video_view);
  video_view.setVideoPath("/sdcard/myvideo.mp4");
  video_view.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
  video_view.start(); 
  

• I can play recorded video from SDCARD in player.

• But when I run it on my application in videoview I can hear only sound.
• Problem : I am not able to see the video.

---- I tried following SO link but still no luck ----

• link 1

• link 2

• Is anybody ever faced this kind of problem ? If yes then how can it solve it ?

Answer 1

I've tried every method above, but none of them could work.

Finally, I tried to call this function, then the video appeared.

video_view.setZOrderOnTop(true);

Hope this also works for you.
