## Perfectly Working since Android 1.6 ##

getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
VideoView videoHolder = new VideoView(this);
//if you want the controls to appear
videoHolder.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
Uri video = getUriFromRawFile(context, R.raw.your_raw_file);
//if your file is named sherif.mp4 and placed in /raw
//use R.raw.sherif
videoHolder.setVideoURI(video);
setContentView(videoHolder);
videoHolder.start();

And then

public static Uri getUriFromRawFile(Context context, @ResRaw int rawResourceId) {
    return Uri.Builder()
        .scheme(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE)
        .authority(context.getPackageName())
        .path(String.valueOf(rawResourceId))
        .build();
}
