Answer 1

You need to have two different layouts. One for the portrait and the one for the landscape. Create two xml files with the same name and put them into folders "layout-land" for landscape and "layout-port" for portrait.

And Here you can take a look how to handle orientation changes.

This can be the layout to make video view full screen.

Try this:

<?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"
             android:layout_height="fill_parent"
             android:layout_centerInParent="true">
    </VideoView>
 </RelativeLayout>

Hope this helps.

Try this layout,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"              
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_gravity="center"
  android:gravity="center">



         <VideoView android:id="@+id/videoview"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Answer 5

If your VideoView cannot center in RelativeLayout you can try to put it into a FrameLayout like this:

<FrameLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <VideoView
        android:id="@+id/video_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="center">
    </VideoView>

</FrameLayout>

And then put this into RelativeLayout.
