Now your layout :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:orientation="vertical"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        >
    <EditText android:id="@+id/path"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            />
    <VideoView android:id="@+id/surface_view"
                 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                 android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    </VideoView>
    <LinearLayout
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            >  
        <ImageButton android:id="@+id/play"
                     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                     android:src="@drawable/play"/>

        <ImageButton android:id="@+id/pause"
                     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                     android:src="@drawable/pause"/>
        <ImageButton android:id="@+id/reset"
                     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                     android:src="@drawable/reset"/>
        <ImageButton android:id="@+id/stop"
                     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
