Android Question Hide pause/stop symbol on VideoView

Hi,
i write an app to control an external machine over bluetooth. Works fine.
While the external machine is doing a lengthy operation i want to play a fullscreen video in my app using VideoView.
Works fine also.
But my problem is, that every time the video is started the pause stop ff symbols are shown. they disappear after a while. but i dont want them.
I put a invisible panel as overlay so you cant click the videoview, but is there a way that the stop/pause buttons are not shown at all?

I dont want the user to control the video.

regards
Mirko
