Try this code:

Uri uri= Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.newline);
videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
videoView.start();

Your mistake is that you can't just specify a path to resource file. In this case you have to use Uri.

But AFAIK VideoView can't play gif. So check out this and this solutions.
