title: Android - Play Video Error
body: <p>I am trying to play a video (target api 7) and I get the error (1, -18) and it says "Cannot Play Video".
  I could not find anyone else with this error. </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to make a view appear in the current layout that plays the video.</p>
  
  <p>The error means "Error due to general data processing".</p>
  
  <p>My video file is a .mp4 file. I exported it using H264 in premiere pro using the option for "android phone and tablet".</p>
  
  <p>I've watched many tutorials and none of their codes work for me.

  <p>My phone uses the 2.2.1 version (my app targets API 7) and I believe that might be the problem. 
  On the simulator (which is extremely slow so I don't fully rely on it), I see the first image of the video so I know it can at least get to it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
