Get direct Vimeo video url Android

Question

I need to play Vimeo viodes in my app having only video id. For example 83342420. How can I get vimeo video url? Or is there any other way to play video in android?

I tried WebView solution but it doesn't suit. I also tried the urls like http://vimeo.com/moogaloop/play/clip:7926539/5cd4f7989ee0cb5018c131260aa1fc8c/1309860388/ but I'm getting 404 Not found. Maybe I need some kind of api key or token?

Thanks.

Ok. For getting direct url for Vimeo video just need to send GET Request to url:

old url - http://player.vimeo.com/v2/video/<video_id>/config
**UPD**: new url - http://player.vimeo.com/video/<video_id>/config

In result you will get such response:
