Abhi, I'm not to sure about video playback outside of the VideoView, I expect you have some substitute view to replace VideoView, as MediaPlayer is just an interface to the back-end A/V component and does no UI handling.
Looking at the MediaController, it accepts any view that implements MediaPlayerControl: http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/widget/MediaController.MediaPlayerControl.html The only build-in view that does this in the Android SDK is the VideoView - but you should be able to make your substitute view implement MediaPlayerControl and use it in exactly the same way. You will just need to handle the callback methods that are defined in MediaPlayerControl. e.g. public class MyVideoCanvas extends SurfaceView implements MediaPlayerControl { private MediaController ctlr; private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer; public void onCreate() { mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); ctlr = new MediaController(this); ctlr.setMediaPlayer(this); ctlr.setAnchorView(this); ctlr.setEnabled(true); ctlr.show(); } public void pause() { // This is an example of a callback method from MediaPlayerControl... mediaPlayer.pause(); } // ... } I haven't tested this, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.
