    myVideoView2.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
    myVideoView2.requestFocus();
    myVideoView2.start();

I think you require two separate threads for playing two videos. since IO operations are blocking… One of the video Player may starve for CPU… Call start() in two separate threads…. Hope that helps!!!

EDIT
first remove the start() calls from onCreate().. Create two separate threads

    Thread view1Thrad = new Thread(new Runnable(){
    @Override
    public void run(){
android.os.Process.setThreadPriority(android.os.Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_URGENT_DISPLAY);
    myVideoView.start();
    });
    Thread view2Thrad = new Thread(new Runnable(){
        @Override
        public void run(){
android.os.Process.setThreadPriority(android.os.Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_URGENT_DISPLAY);
        myVideoView2.start();
        });

now start these threads one by one…

view1Thread.start(); //starts first video
view2Thread.start(); //starts second video

Hope that helps!!!
