How to show progress bar until video play in live stream Android?

Question

i am working on an application where i need to play video from a remote server as live stream.

which is done by me successfully. i managed every thing in my app.

but when video is loading i need to show a progress dialog over VideoView.

i tried using OnPreparedListener as "how to show the progress bar before playing the video"

@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
    progressbar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    mp.start();

}

but video play after 5-7 Sec of progressbar gone. i searched a lot on Google but not found any solution for it.

Could anyone help me.

Thanks in Advance.

            @Override
            public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {



                mp.start();

                mp.setOnVideoSizeChangedListener(new OnVideoSizeChangedListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onVideoSizeChanged(MediaPlayer mp, int arg1, int arg2) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                        Log.e(TAG, "Changed");
                        progressbar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                        mp.start();
                    }
