I have found out the problem. Turns out, even tho I exported the video "for android phone and tablet" it was still not the right format of .MP4. If you are having a video problem, try this code and make sure you try various formats of .mp4. It worked for me for api 7 and up.
videoHolder = new VideoView(this);
Uri video = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/"+ R.raw.test2);
videoHolder.setVideoURI(video);
videoHolder.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
//action to do when video is done
}
});
videoHolder.start();
