@onsurfaceCreate using following code to play video, now here I thinking problem is bit different,because same code is working for low resolution video but for high resolution video it prompt me error..."

 holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
            mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(),
 R.raw.livewallpaper);          mediaPlayer.setDisplay(new
 VideoSurfaceHolder(holder));   

    mediaPlayer.start();
