Video is showing up black and unable to play when starting activity and passing in videoURI string

[seanfriedman1994]

Here is a snip of my code. trim is a button that is clicked that triggers the new activity.

trim.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { TrimVideo.activity(String.valueOf(mVideoUri)) // .setCompressOption(new CompressOption()) //empty constructor for default compress option .setDestination("/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/TESTFOLDER") //default output path /storage/emulated/0/DOWNLOADS .start(getActivity());

        }
    });

Here is an image of what it looks like, and the play button does nothing

Looks like you're correct. The very first line is a log of the videouri.ToString() so I don't understand how it can be passing through as null

[seanfriedman1994]

Code for the above looks like this:

public void onClick(View v) { Log.d("uri", mVideoUri.toString()); TrimVideo.activity(mVideoUri.toString()) // .setCompressOption(new CompressOption()) //empty constructor for default compress option .setDestination("/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/TESTFOLDER") .start(getActivity());

        }

[a914-gowtham]

I got you.Send Uri of the video instead of FilePath.like below

String selectedVideoUri="content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/video%3A3120"

TrimVideo.activity(selectedVideoUri)
// .setCompressOption(new CompressOption()) //empty constructor for default compress option
.setDestination("/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/TESTFOLDER")
.start(getActivity());

[seanfriedman1994]

Thank you man that did the trick. One more question for you if you don't mind - how can i name the file what i want? I can set the directory but it's always named trimmed_video_0

[a914-gowtham]

Sorry..I have not added that option yet.I will add for next release

[seanfriedman1994]

I see. Thank you very much, I look forward to that release!
