Answer 1

i had the same problem and white instead of black was ok for me.. i tried all of solutions above i came up with the following

vv.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
vv.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    vv.setVideoURI(videoUri);
                }
            }, 100);
vv.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    vv.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
                }
            }, 300);
            vv.requestFocus();
            vv.start();

and delayed my video 400 ms start fading from white works like a charm for me
