when using the following code : 

String cacheDir = getApplicationContext().getCacheDir().getAbsolutePath();
Log.d("video path",cacheDir+"/intro.mp4");
vvIntro.setVideoPath(cacheDir+"/intro.mp4");
vvIntro.start();

I want to play a video stored in cache folder

Maybe MediaPlayer requires MODE_WORLD_READABLE for your Intro file. Try to save it in none PRIVE mode.

Or you forgot to add permission for READING internal storage.

First check your file permission. And try without the .mp4 extension if there is no other file on the same name otherwise try with a .3gp file similarly without extension.
