You have to wait until the video is prepared to seek.

int seekTimeMs = (10 * 60 + 20) * 1000; // 10:20
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
    @Override
    public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
        mediaPlayer.seekTo(seekTimeMs);
    }
});

see VideoView.seekTo(int msec) method

Also note one thing from the doc

The playback position can be adjusted with a call to seekTo(int). Although the asynchronuous seekTo(int) call returns right way, the actual seek operation may take a while to finish, especially for audio/video being streamed. When the actual seek operation completes, the internal player engine calls a user supplied OnSeekComplete.onSeekComplete() if an OnSeekCompleteListener has been registered beforehand via setOnSeekCompleteListener(OnSeekCompleteListener).
