Using Xamarin with Visual Studio and C#, I made an Android application and am creating a player using VideoView.

I wonder how to access the mobile folder that contains the video.

For example: "/storage/pasta/video.mp4".

I know it’s something with the .SetVideoPath of VideoView, but I didn’t understand how.

    Try to see it in the Xamarin documentation itself. It will help you a lot: https://developer.xamarin.com/recipes/android/data/files/browse_files/

Ronaldo, I don’t understand if this is what you want, but when I have to access a certain folder I use the following code:

var documentsPath = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonVideos);
        var filePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(documentsPath, filename);

Now with filePath I already have the path to be accessed (in the case of the default videos folder).

See if the link Working with files help you.
