Answer 1

I prefer setting listeners like this within onCreate method. Hopefully helps someone out

videoView.setOnErrorListener(new OnErrorListener () {
    @Override
    public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Error playing video");
        return true;
    }
});
