First define ProgressDialog mProgressDialog;

Then try this code,it worked for me:

video = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView1);
        final MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
        mc.setAnchorView(video);
        mc.setMediaPlayer(video);
        Uri uri = Uri.parse(path1);
        video.setMediaController(mc);
        System.out.println("!-- uri: "+uri.toString());
        video.setVideoURI(uri);

        video.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {



                   mProgressDialog.dismiss();






            }
        });

        video.start();

        video.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {

            @Override
            public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {

            }

        });


    }


    public void showLoaderProgress(){
        mProgressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
        mProgressDialog.setMessage("Loading Video\nPlease wait...");
        mProgressDialog.setIndeterminate(true);
        mProgressDialog.setCancelable(false);
        mProgressDialog.show();
    }

where path1 is your video path.
