Video Playing in Android tablet



I want to play a large video using http on an android tablet.





I don't want to save that viedo on device. That is, if the large video data received by the web service is in little chunks, I don't want to save that binary data and later play the video. I want play the video as it downloads.





Is this possible?

  1. Yes, it is called buffering.
    You can read this tutorial. Basically you will need the MediaPlayer class, then set the url of your video as the data source, and MediaPlayer would do all the complicated stuff.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
