     import android.os.Bundle;
     import android.widget.MediaController;
     import android.widget.Toast;
     import android.widget.VideoView;

     public class GalleryActivity extends Activity {
         /** Called when the activity is first created. */
         @Override
         public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Toast.makeText(GalleryActivity.this, "Hello world", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.vv);
        MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
        mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
     // Set video link (mp4 format )
        Uri video = Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEbxLDuecHU&playnext=1&list=PL040F3034C69B1674");
        videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
        videoView.setVideoURI(video);
        videoView.start();

If you want to play a video from a URL in the wifi state, you need to add the wifi and network state permissions in the manifest file like this:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
