title: Playing RTSP links in Android
body: <p>I have a list of video links where some are http:// and some are rtsp://. </p>
  
  <p>So, I created a method that invokes the native view in android to play the video. it works well with http but it is failing for the rtsp. Actually, It is giving me an error that is not helping either knowing that rtps is a supported media format (<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html</a>)</p>
  
  <pre><code>String url = (String) v.getTag();
              Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
              Uri data = Uri.parse(url);
              intent.setDataAndType(data, "video/*");
              startActivity(intent);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas? </p>
