You have to set the media controller as null like this:

videoView.setMediaController(null);

Below is the code which adds the seek bar when using videoview So if you have used the code below please comment it and then check whether you still have a seekbar while viewing the video

 MediaController mediaController=new MediaController(this);
 mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
 videoView.setMediaController(mediaController)

Cheers!!!

You should add an explanation as to how this piece of code solves the problem. The code should also be added to a code block. – Ren Apr 23 '13 at 12:04

I was able to get the SeekBar hidden with the help of following :

 public void hidingSeekBar() {

        final int topContainerId1 = getResources().getIdentifier("mediacontroller_progress", "id", "android");
        final SeekBar seekbar = (SeekBar) mediaController.findViewById(topContainerId1);
        seekbar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

        final int topContainerId2 = getResources().getIdentifier("time", "id", "android");
        final TextView mEndTime = (TextView) mediaController.findViewById(topContainerId2);
        mEndTime.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);


        final int topContainerId3 = getResources().getIdentifier("time_current", "id", "android");
        final TextView mCurrentTime = (TextView) mediaController.findViewById(topContainerId3);
        mCurrentTime.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        // mEndTime, mCurrentTime;
    }

P.S: I got the reference to the MediaController controls here.

Just remove MediaController, no need to add these lines below

MediaController mediaController=new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);

Just comment it

//MediaController mediaController=new MediaController(this);
//mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
//videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
