VideoView Listeners are not triggered in Android (Native Module)

Description

I wrote a VideoPlayer in Java which uses Android's VideoView but the VideoView listeners like onPrepared, onError etc are not triggered at all.

I understand the following from the logs:

• Uri was set successfully.
• Request Focus was successful

There are no errors in the logs.

Steps to reproduce

• npm i
• npm run android

This will launch the VideoPlayer Component straight away.

Comienza ejecutando el reproductor enlazado con npm i y npm run android y, después, inspecciona su módulo nativo de Java VideoPlayer y el uso de Android VideoView. Reproduce los callbacks onPrepared y onError que faltan y determina qué comportamiento se espera; el issue estará terminado cuando los listeners relevantes se activen de forma fiable y sin errores.
