Several things potentially wrong with your code: - you're using MediaPlayer.create(), which calls prepare() for you. IIRC, setDisplay() needs to be called *before* prepare(), so you won't be able to use any of the MediaPlayer.create convenience methods. - the way you create and use the SurfaceView, you'll probably end up with a 0-sized Surface, so try specifying the SurfaceView in an xml layout and using that. - depending on the type of video, size information may not be available until decoding has started. There's a callback/listener for that.
