Android on Blackberry: How to Play Videos

Question

i've ported some Apps from Android to Blackberry (by repacking them with the Blackberry tools). Most of the App seems to work fine, however i con not get the Videos to work. The Loading indicator appears (but does not spin). Nothing else Happens (No Exceptions or anything on the LogCat or Console. After I while i get the Dialog which ask me if i want to shut down the App as it is not reacting.

Has anybody ever managed to Play Videos using the Android API on Blackberry 10? Are there any tricks to use? Like just using special Video Formats or anything else i need to know?

Answer 1

I now have Feedback from RIM. Some Networkprotocols are not supported for Video(streaming): http://developer.blackberry.com/android/apisupport/unsupportedapi_blackberry10_network_protocols.html . And some more Bad News: They also say "it will also not be supported with the final OS-update at launch".

Answer 2

If you are doing this in the simulator, there are no codecs present there.
