Answer 1

Use MediaController with VideoView:

View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.quranic_section, container, false);
MediaController mc= new MediaController(getActivity());

VideoView view = (VideoView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.video_view);
String path = "android.resource://" + getActivity().getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.howtopray;
view.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
view.setMediaController(mc);
view.start();

Edit

MediaController constructor takes Context as a parameter. Added getActivity() method to provide Context to MediaController constructor.
