So that, when video view’s onMeasure is called, both mVideoWidth & mVideoHeight are > 0. If you want to account the height of controllers, you can do it yourself in … Read more
VideoView does not support rotation of video even if composition matrix is set correctly and rotation attribute is used. What you can do is to use TextureView and set its attribute rotation=”90″ (for example). It then will rotate the frames but the aspect ratio is something that you need to handle your self. In order … Read more
Like this you can set the properties of the video by yourself. Use a SurfaceView (gives you more control on the view), set it to fill_parent to match the whole screen <LinearLayout xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” android:orientation=”vertical” android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”fill_parent”> <SurfaceView android:id=”@+id/surfaceViewFrame” android:layout_width=”fill_parent” android:layout_height=”fill_parent” android:layout_gravity=”center” > </SurfaceView> </Linearlayout> then on your java code get the surface view and add … Read more
