Play RTSP streaming in an Android application

I also had the same problem in ICS 4.x. Also, you can check whether your stream URL is working properly or not.

Also check your code with this sample URL.

Using VideoView is a good solution, but we can also use the native player to play RTSP. This is an example:

if (movieurl.startsWith("rtsp://")) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(movieurl));
    startActivity(intent);
}

Bear in mind your media must be created with Android Supported Media Formats (codecs).
