        MediaController mc = new MediaController(getActivity());
        videoView.setMediaController(mc);
//
        //Set the path of Video or URI
        videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_175k.mov"));
        //Set the focus

I also suffered with the same problem. But I have resolved using the following library.

https://github.com/bravobit/FFmpeg-Android

String[] cmd = {"-y", "-i", "rtsp://username:[email protected]:554", "-acodec", "copy", "-vcodec", "copy","-t","00:00:20", targetFile.toString() };

FFmpeg.getInstance(this).execute(cmd,new ExecuteBinaryResponseHandler(){

            @Override
            public void onStart() {
                super.onStart();
                Log.i(TAG,"Start");
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(String message) {
                super.onFailure(message);
                Log.i(TAG,message);

            }

            @Override
            public void onSuccess(String message) {
                super.onSuccess(message);
                Log.i(TAG,"OnSuccess...");

             }

            @Override
            public void onProgress(String message) {
                super.onProgress(message);
                Log.i(TAG,"onProgress");
            }

            @Override
            public void onFinish() {
                super.onFinish();
                Log.i(TAG,"onFinish");


            }
        });

The above code save the 20 seconds video on given path.

Btw, we used the following to trigger when to stop the recording: final Timer timer = new java.util.Timer(); TimerTask timerTask = new TimerTask() { @Override public void run() { ffTask.sendQuitSignal(); } }; timer.schedule( timerTask, 40000 ); – Brantley
