Have you tried this:

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

in your class that contains mediaplayer code.

and in your xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
           android:layout_width="fill_parent"
           android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
   <VideoView android:id="@+id/myvideoview"
             android:layout_width="fill_parent"
             android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
             android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
             android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
             android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
             android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    </VideoView>
 </RelativeLayout>

I hope this will help you.

yes i tried this method. now i am post xml,java source code and manifest coding also please check my coding what mistake i made for this coding.....waiting for your reply..... – RBJ Nov 23 '10 at 10:35
And one more thing is you use either theme in menifest file or by programmatically (requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); ). you should not use both. – Piyush Nov 23 '10 at 11:12
sorry, you have put that lines in your class. now just remove theme from your menifest file. than do clean-build and try to run you code. – Piyush Nov 23 '10 at 11:26
1. i have put that lines in my class..and change frame layout...removed theme in manifest.....after run my project same screen will be display – RBJ Nov 23 '10 at 11:31
you have use two class right? so what are you doing in your first class? – Piyush Nov 23 '10 at 11:42

my java file:

public class VideoViewDemo extends Activity {

VideoView mVideoView;
MediaController mc;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
   super.onCreate(icicle);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);//if you want.
    File video = new File("your file path");
    mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface);
    mc = new MediaController(this);
    mVideoView.setMediaController(mc);
    mc.setAnchorView(mVideoView);
    mVideoView.setMediaController(mc);
    mVideoView.setVideoPath(video.getAbsolutePath());
    mVideoView.requestFocus();
    mVideoView.start();

By the way, in your manifest, at this line <activity android:name="ViewVideo",you forgot to put a dot(.) before the "ViewVideo". It should be ".ViewVideo"
