Had to add setZOrderOnTop

    videoView = findViewById(R.id.videoView);
    String videoPath = getIntent().getStringExtra("videoPath");
    videoView.setVideoPath(videoPath);

    mediaController = new MediaController(this);
    mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
    videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
    videoView.setZOrderOnTop(true);
    videoView.start();
