Android - Buffering in MediaPlayer

Question

I am using MediaPlayer to play a video in my app. The video takes a while to buffer and the videoview is blank for that time.

Is there a way to start the buffering when the user is in the previous screen, so that when he comes to the video playing screen, the video is ready to play?

Thanks Chris

MediaPlayer lets you register an OnPreparedListener and an OnBufferingUpdateListener.
