This might be helpful to you i have used this in android 2.3.3. 

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(YOUR_SERVER_VIDEOFILE_URL));
//get focus, before playing the video.
videoHolder.requestFocus();
if(autoplay){
    videoHolder.start();
}

}

Always pass the mp4,3gp etc video format link in URI.Try this code:

VideoView videoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
mc.setAnchorView(videoView);
mc.setMediaPlayer(videoView);
videoView.setMediaController(mc);
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://hermes.sprc.samsung.pl/widget/tmp/testh.3gp"));

videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
