That is a MediaController.

OK, here you go. The activity in question is rather simple:

package com.commonsware.android.video;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.PixelFormat;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.VideoView;
import java.io.File;

public class VideoDemo extends Activity {
    private VideoView video;
    private MediaController ctlr;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
        super.onCreate(icicle);
        getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        File clip=new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
                                             "test.mp4");

        if (clip.exists()) {
            video=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.video);
            video.setVideoPath(clip.getAbsolutePath());

            ctlr=new MediaController(this);
            ctlr.setMediaPlayer(video);
            video.setMediaController(ctlr);
            video.requestFocus();
            video.start();
        }
    }
}
