Are you a developer and using Video View in you application. If so try to debug and verify that you provide a valid uri/url to the Video View. Though there is a null check in the openVideo() of the android.widget.VideoView class, the uri may be empty string.

Here is the source of the Video View class for the android version you mentioned.
