How to create a videoview with a listview? Android

I want to create a listview which has the path of my mp4 files and when i click it, it will play the video in my videoview which is located on the upper part of the listview. I've tried searching for it but i can't find any tutorial. The layout is like in the youtube app the video is playing on the upper part and underneath are the list of videos. I only seen a tutorial where you will use a SURFACEVIEW but it displays the video on the whole screen. Can anyone help me please? Thank you so much!

You cant use videoview inside listview cause videoview extends surfaceview internally. Surfaceview cannot be scrolled reason refere this

2 approaches i can suggest

1) Use textureview instead of videoview

2) Hide the surfaceview when you scroll Like replace videoview with the imageview (showing thumbnail) when you scroll.

SurfaceView is a View and can be resized in any parent ViewGroup like other Views.It does not have to be fullscreen. Please consider using it in a layout.
