I have been working on an app to search for and stream videos from archive.org and am using this code
where URL is the url of an mpeg4 video file.
It plays the video without waiting for it to download but by doing it this way does it mean that the entire video would be downloaded and saved to the devices internal memory while it plays, which would cause problems on low ram devices such as phones?
If it does I would have to find a way to save the linked to video to sd card and read it from there but as I do not know whether I need to I thought I would ask if the above method will use up the internal memory of a device?

Dim i As Intent
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, URL)
i.SetType("video/*")
StartActivity(i)
