how to view a web camera via URL

[chen young]

Hi,

I am trying to view a web camera via URL.
While trying to implement the following example android-videomusic-player-sample I get the following error:

1) I add Internet permmision to the Manifest.xml.
2) I did check that I can connect to the internet via the browser.
3) Does MediaPlayer support URL connection ?

Any ideas what did I miss?

Thanks

can you post the contents of your manifest file(at least the part where you have added the permission)?

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name=".Video"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
    <permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" android:protectionLevel="normal" android:permissionGroup="android.permission-group.NETWORK"></permission>
<permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" android:protectionLevel="normal" android:permissionGroup="@string/app_name"></permission>
<permission android:protectionLevel="normal" android:name="android.permission.READ_OWNER_DATA" android:permissionGroup="@string/app_name"></permission>
<permission android:protectionLevel="normal" android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" android:permissionGroup="android.permission-group.NETWORK"></permission>

To use internet you need to add the following permission in your manifest file(outside the <application> tag):

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

Also remove the following line:

 <permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" android:protectionLevel="normal" android:permissionGroup="android.permission-group.NETWORK"></permission>
