I've looked for existing potential solutions with other formats and those still responds with mentioned error.

Finally, recorded the video with the same device and used it as a resource for this app and it still doesn't work.

Devices: SGS2, lenovo a820

Video type: MPEG-4 video (video/mp4)

    videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoView);
    videoView.setVideoPath("android.resource://raw/sample.mp4");
    videoView.start();

Please refer below code snippet...problem was with the path declaration..

 String uriPath = "android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/"+R.raw.aha_hands_only_cpr_english;
        Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriPath);
        mVideoView.setVideoURI(uri);

Thats it...
