The Link you have provided http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHVhwcOg6y8 , is a HTML page.
The URI to be provided for setVideoURI() should be a media file such as mp4 or avi.

VideoView cannot parse a HTML page. It can only decode and play a video file or stream a video content (in this case Uri should point to the media file, such as http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/data/mp4/cavity_flow_movie.mp4 )
See this: Using VideoView for streaming or progressive-download video

You should use a Webview for opening the YouTube link.
