I see no choice now for streaming video and don't see a plug in either. Is there any way I can put these files into my Android app (they take about 120 MB of space too, since I read that space may be a problem with Android) ? If not how can I do this? I've read suggestions about Dropbox and if I'll have to use that (which is unfortunate since I wanted to keep the app non internet dependent), how to I link files to the dropbox file (I really haven't used dropbox much).? Thanks.

Catch Atrain on the forum if you want to ask nitty gritty details.

stevek Aspiring developer Posts: 808 Reg: Dec 24, 2011 great neck 8,080	02/03/13 12:38 AM (12 years ago) Final question on this: I've tried to get around this by putting a video file, call in myfile.mp4 on a web site, call it www.mywebsite.com Then I created an html file which has a link to www.mywebsite.com/myfile.mp4 Now, when I go in my browser and type in that url, it downloads the file and immediately opens a video player to play it. If I go to the web browser on my android phone and put in the url, it plays the video. But in BT, if I use that html page in an BT html document screen, and in the document tell it to load the same url, www.mywebsite.com/myfile.mp4, when i get to it in the app, I get a message "Open with which app? No applications can perform this action. " Why?
