In Android how can i pause video player from my application
Contact the authors of the video player you want to control, and ask them if they have an API to allow third-party apps to control their video player.
In general, apps cannot control other apps this way.
I am able to achieve this for music player
It is possible that there is some music player that has a documented and supported API that you are using. Or, perhaps you are attacking some music player with security issues. Many Android developers are capable of creating a music player that cannot be controlled by third-party apps, so please do not assume that whatever you did will work across all music players.

Play video with direct link on Android

I need to play a video with fullscreen when a user plays it.
Unfortunately, as far as I understand, if the HTML5 Video tag is used, Android plays it in-frame. So that tried webkitEnterFullScreen() and it seems to work(kind of...) but user has to click the play button again. Overall performance feels a bit clumsy and not sure if old OS like 2.0+ could handle it.
As an alternative method, I'm now trying to play video using direct link rather than the Video tag. For example, [a href="video.mp4"]Click to play[/a]. I think that it works well but the only problem is that it asks to choose a application either 'Video Player' or 'Browser'.
So my question is
How can I define using javascript to play the video using Video Player, so that the selection dialog won't prompt?.
What is the native video player for Android? For example, iOS uses Quicktime and it is possible to embed video using Quicktime object. And are there any equivalent method for Android?
When the Video tag is used, how to play video simultaneously with fullscreen?
try following code :
String path1="/path/to/video/file.3gp";
Uri uri=Uri.parse(path1);
VideoView video=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoView01);
video.setVideoURI(uri);
video.start();
You have to realize something very important: There is no native video player for android.
There is a dozens players for android and it is not your decision but the users decision if he should use player A or B. Don't try to force Android users to iOS behavior, it really doesn't give a better impression.

Video playing on Android

I am working with an Android and PhoneGap application and am using the HTML5 video tag to play videos on my web page. When I play the video I get the audio output but the video is not visible. How can I play a HTML5 video on Android?
I've written about this issue a number of times. See my previous answer:
Playing video on AVD with phonegap
Also, I'm working on monkey patching the video tag on Android so hopefully we'll have something even better soon.

Video is not displayed in videoview in android?

My application uses a simple VideoView .It uses an 3gp file from assetsbut all i can see is a blank screen and music of that video.
Would someone help me to display the video?
P.S-I am trying it on emulator?
Do not use emulator for testing video playback. Its ability to handle video playback is very limited. You should use actual device to play videos.
