Answer 1

you should use vitamio library for this issue vitamio library from here http://www.vitamio.org/en/docs/Basic/2013/0509/4.html

Answer 2

You just have to:

1. Call prepareAsync() on the VideoView object.
2. setOnPreparedLsitener() to your VideoView.
3. In onPrepared() callback, requestFocus and start() the VideoView.

Good Luck
