How to show/hide play/pause Button in video view in android?

Question

I am doing an Android project based on Video view. I want to show play button before the user clicks play, when user decides to pause video - pause button shows up. Clicking on pause button should trigger playing the video again from the same place where it was paused (like YouTube video).

im1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {

    vv1.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://com.example.cm.filmfestival/" + R.raw.mission));
    im1.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
    im2.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
    vv1.start();
  }
});

im2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {

    vv1.stopPlayback();
    im2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    im1.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
  }
});

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    im1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    vv1.start();
    im2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    vv1.stopPlayback();

    return true;
}

Use the code below

       <VideoView
        android:id="@+id/video_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="center" />

     public VideoView myVideoView;  
     private int position = 0;  
     private MediaController mediaControls;

   // set the media controller buttons
    if (mediaControls == null)
    {
        mediaControls = new MediaController(MainActivity.this);
    }

    // initialize the VideoView
    myVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video_view);

   try
    {

        // set the media controller in the VideoView
        myVideoView.setMediaController(mediaControls);

        // set the uri of the video to be played
        myVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("your UrI"));

    } catch (Exception e)
    {
        Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    myVideoView.requestFocus();

   // we also set an setOnPreparedListener in order to know when the video
    // file is ready for playback

    myVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener()
    {

        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer)
        {
            // if we have a position on savedInstanceState, the video
            // playback should start from here
            myVideoView.seekTo(position);

            System.out.println("vidio is ready for playing");

            if (position == 0)
            {
                myVideoView.start();
            } else
            {
                // if we come from a resumed activity, video playback will
                // be paused
                myVideoView.pause();
            }
        }
    });
