How to make a video ad does NOT start automatically after preparation

Question

I created a video image with a standard one media controlleron it. I was able to play the video by calling method start()in setOnPreparedListener, so the video will automatically play when it finishes preparing it.

However, what I want to do is to backup the video ( NOT automatically played), so the user needs to click / click / tap the video to start the video.

I did some Google search, and I also tried setOnTouchListeneron my video ad and called a method start(). But the result is unexpected (and confusing), a pop-up dialog box appears and says "Video cannot play . "

This is the full code:

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_detail);

        txtTitle = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtTitle);
        player = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.player);

        Bundle video = getIntent().getExtras();

        if(video != null)
        {
            id = video.getString("id");
            title = video.getString("title");
            rtsp = video.getString("rtsp");
        }

        txtTitle.setText(title);

        pDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
        pDialog.setTitle("Please Wait...");
        pDialog.setMessage("Buffering...");
        pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
        pDialog.setCancelable(false);
        pDialog.show();

        try {
            // Start the MediaController
            MediaController mediacontroller = new MediaController(this);
            mediacontroller.setAnchorView(player);
            // Get the URL from String VideoURL
            Uri uri = Uri.parse(rtsp);
            player.setMediaController(mediacontroller);
            player.setVideoURI(uri); 
            player.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        player.requestFocus();
        player.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                pDialog.dismiss();
                player.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
                //the video will be played if i call the start() method here
            }
        });

        player.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View arg0, MotionEvent arg1) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                //"The video cant be played" pop up dialog appeared, video wont start
                player.start();
                return false;
            }
        });
    }

I was confused because it could be reproduced when I put the method start()in setOnPreparedListener, but could not when I put it in setOnTouchListener.

I don't know if this is related to the problem or not, but im buffering youtube video (RTSP link) on my video ad.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
