My xml file:

Answer 1

Make use of SurfaceHolder.Callback as below

SurfaceView mSurfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceView);
SurfaceHolder holder = mSurfaceView.getHolder();
final MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer();

holder.addCallback(new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
    @Override
    public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
        player.setDisplay(holder);
    }

    @Override
    public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, 
    int height) {

    }

    @Override
    public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {

    }
});

String UrlPath="android.resource://"+getActivity().getPackageName()+"/"+R.raw.your_file_name_without_extension;
try {
    player.setDataSource(getActivity(),Uri.parse(UrlPath));
    player.prepareAsync();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
player.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {

    @Override
    public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
        mp.start();
    }
});
