Android media controller positioning

Question

I am using media player and mediaController in my activity to play audio. In my activity i have an image related to the audio and beneath it the description of the audio. I want the mediaController to be displayed from the bottom of the image and above the description. At present the mediaController appears at the bottom of the device even if i give the image as the anchor view. Is there a way I can move the mediaController above the description

Here you go:

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <VideoView
        android:id="@+id/videoview"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:background="@color/blue" />

</LinearLayout>

                                videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(mp3url));
