Videoview getDuration()

hi i have an app which plays mp4 file from sdcard, and am using videoview.
But getDuration() is returning -1.
I tried to get the duration after setVideoPath() and even also after start(), in both cases am getting -1.
Does anyone know why is that. Is there any other way to get the duration of video file am playing.
Thanks.

I got the video duration of an 3gp using this listener to check if the 3gp is loaded...

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

vidView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener()  {
 
                @Override
 
                public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {                         
 
                 long mediatime = vidView.getDuration();//this returned the duration instead of -1
 
                     }
 
         });
Parsed in 0.029 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Haven't tried with mp4 file..
