private VideoView myVideoView;
private int position = 0;
private ProgressDialog progressDialog;
private MediaController mediaControls;

@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   private static final String Videos_URL = "*Your_URI*";

    // Get the layout from video_main.xml
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    // Find your VideoView in your video_main.xml layout
    myVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);

    // Create a progressbar
    progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
    // Set progressbar title
    progressDialog.setTitle("Anything u Want");
    // Set progressbar message
    progressDialog.setMessage("Loading...");

    progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
    // Show progressbar
    progressDialog.show();

    try {
        Uri video = Uri.parse(Videos_URL);
        myVideoView.setVideoURI(video);
        myVideoView.setMediaController(mediaControls);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    myVideoView.requestFocus();
    myVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
        // Close the progress bar and play the video
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
            progressDialog.dismiss();
            myVideoView.seekTo(position);
            if (position == 0) {
                myVideoView.start();
            } else {
                myVideoView.pause();
            }
        }
    });

}

@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
    savedInstanceState.putInt("Position", myVideoView.getCurrentPosition());
    myVideoView.pause();
}

@Override
public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
    position = savedInstanceState.getInt("Position");
    myVideoView.seekTo(position);
}

Android 4.1.2 version seems to play mp4 video in the emulator in youtube app, not elsewhere. I tested it. Both Intel and non-Intel version work. 4.0.3 did not play them.

You need to execute the app on original device rather than emulator since it does not supports playing video files. In rare cases it may but it really depends upon your system configurations.
