Which "Audio and Video dev guide" are you referring to? If that guide tells you that the code you posted should work, it needs to be fixed :) There are several problems in your code, but the main one is that you can't use any of the MediaPlayer.create() convenience methods to play video from a resource. This is because create() calls prepare() internally, but you need to call setDisplay() before calling prepare(). You'll need to use "new MediaPlayer" and setDataSource and setDisplay instead. Also be sure to wait for the surfaceCreated callback on the SurfaceHolder before calling start().
