Try this...

public void videoPlayer(String path, String fileName, boolean autoplay){
     //get current window information, and set format, set it up differently, if you need some special effects
     getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT); 
     //the VideoView will hold the video
     VideoView videoHolder = new VideoView(this); 
     //MediaController is the ui control howering above the video (just like in the default youtube player).
     videoHolder.setMediaController(new MediaController(this)); 
     //assing a video file to the video holder
     videoHolder.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path+"/"+fileName)); 
     //get focus, before playing the video.
     videoHolder.requestFocus(); 
     if(autoplay){
         videoHolder.start(); 
     }

  }

Call this method on button click by passing the required arguments ( video file path, file name, autoplay ).

Hope this helps you..

try this one:

    getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

      VideoView videoHolder = new VideoView(this);

      videoHolder.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));

      videoHolder.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path+"/"+fileName));

      videoHolder.requestFocus();


      if(autoplay){
