Android: Video in TextureView

Question

I came to know that we can play video in texture view. But I saw only how to play videos capturing by camera but I want to play an available video in it to perform any animations.

I have tried this code but I don't know where to place video.mp4

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements
        TextureView.SurfaceTextureListener {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
        super.onCreate(icicle);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        TextureView textureView = (TextureView) findViewById(R.id.textureView1);
        textureView.setSurfaceTextureListener(this);
    }

    public void onSurfaceTextureAvailable(SurfaceTexture surface, int width,
            int height) {
        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
        mediaPlayer.setSurface(new Surface(surface));

        try {
            mediaPlayer.setDataSource("video.mp4");
            mediaPlayer.prepare();
            mediaPlayer.start();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onSurfaceTextureDestroyed(SurfaceTexture arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onSurfaceTextureSizeChanged(SurfaceTexture arg0, int arg1,
            int arg2) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void onSurfaceTextureUpdated(SurfaceTexture arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
}

Please help me by giving any working code. Or if mine was correct then where to place video.mp4 in the folders.

Thanks in advance...

Place it in raw folder and try the below one and see if it helps.

public void onSurfaceTextureAvailable(SurfaceTexture surface, int width, int height) {
    MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    mediaPlayer.setSurface(new Surface(surface));
    try {
        Uri video = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.your_raw_file);
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(this, video);
        mediaPlayer.prepare();
        mediaPlayer.start();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
