title: how to stream video from internet via nanoHTTPd to VideoView
body: <p>I want to download and play video files during downloading. Since VideoView is not helping with this matter I decided to work with nanoHTTPd to create a pseudo HTTP server and inside my own server try to download video file and play it afterward but my problem is :</p>
  
  <p>1-How can I flush downloaded part to videoview and download the remaining parts?</p>
  
  <p>Following is my source :</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class VideoStreamingServer extends NanoHTTPD {

                      bufferOS.flush();
                      totalRead += numRead;

                               //problem starts here
                               //How can I flush the buffer to VideoView?
  
  
                      }
