MediaPlayer+SurfaceView app fails - surfaceview

Question

Uploaded an example from /samples/android-16 >/ApiDemos.
There's a few examples in a single project.
Extracted from there one-MediaPlayerDemo_Video, like so:

There are thoughts, what's up?

Answer 1

I found out what was my mistake.
The log indicates the line 128:
07-20 17:54:07.236: E/AndroidRuntime(5713): java.lang.NullPointerException
07-20 17:54:07.236: E/AndroidRuntime(5713): at com.example.mediaplayer_video.Mediaplayer_video.surfaceCreated(Mediaplayer_video.java:128)
At line 128 Mediaplayer_video.java this:
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
Log.d(TAG, "surfaceCreated called");
playVideo(extras.getInt(MEDIA));
PlayVideo() method defined as playVideo(Integer Media), and Media = null.
Fixed the playVideo(Integer Media) and playVideo(extras.getInt(MEDIA)) on playVideo() and everything earned.
