In the MainAcitivity class, in the onCreate method, you write code to create a reference to SurfaceView, get the surface holder, add Callback interface to the holder, and create MediaPlayer instance. In the onSurfaceCreate method (you need to implement SurfaceHolder.Callback to use this method). You need to set the surface holder to display the video, set the data source of the MediaPlayer to the 3gp video file to be played, call the prepare() method to prepare the MediaPlayer, and start playing the video by calling the start() method.
