You should do it in onResume, because in onCreate VideoView does not knows its size and can't create properly surface to display video.

public class MPlayer extends Activity{

VideoView videoView;

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.playvideo);
    videoView = new VideoView(MPlayer.this);
    videoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
    LinearLayout l = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.mplayer);
    l.addView(videoView);
   }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://www.semanticdevlab.com/abc.mp4"));
        videoView.start();
}
