this may helps you,i have recently working on it and works but here i m using Intent, here getting video from Camera and write it in sdcard folder and using that path this video play.hop it helps full

private final int VIDEO_RESULT = 1;

Button btnOk = (Button) popUpView.findViewById(R.id.btn_take_photo);
    btnOk.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // mpopup.dismiss(); //dismissing the popup
