Android: Why can't I give an onClickListener to a VideoView?

Question

I have written these lines of code:

 mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video_view);
    mVideoView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @O

I realize this is an old question but thought I'd chime in with an easy workaround. I can't answer why this doesn't work - seems like a big oversight in my opinion. But an easy workaround is to place your VideoView as the sole View inside a FrameLayout, and set an OnClickListener on the layout. Not ideal, but it works.
