Android-Video View in Fullscreen

Question

I am trying to make this VideoView to appear in full screen mode :

public class ViewVideo extends Activity {
  private String filename;
  private static fina         


        

Answer 1

Okey, Let's try like this, this was suitable for my full screen.

    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

Answer 2

Perhaps it's because you have to add following code:

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(
    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,  
     WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

before setContentView(your_content_view) to get rid of app title bar. I know its a very late reply but somebody might find it useful.

No need of code to play video in full screen mode

Apply the following layout format over the xml containing the videoview it will for sure will play the video in full screen mode. as it is running mine :) Hope it helps

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
           android:layout_width="fill_parent"
           android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
   <VideoView android:id="@+id/myvideoview"
             android:layout_width="fill_parent"

    </VideoView>
 </RelativeLayout>

Answer 4

Due to my experienced, you can only use Relative-Layout View for you video to be stretch on portrait and landscape. Linear-layout view can only stretch video on Landscape, you can try the two view without writing any code and prove my theory

Answer 5

Portrait layout

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:background="@android:color/black">
    <VideoView
        android:id="@+id/video_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center" />
</FrameLayout>

Landscape layout

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@android:color/black">
    <VideoView
        android:id="@+id/video_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="center"/>
</FrameLayout>

Answer 6

when you click an menu item. you have to start a New Activity. for that Activity you have to set the theme attribute in the Manifest. set this value that is

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

thats it.
