Change Android VideoView Orientation

I have a video VideoView

in an android app. When I do this in portrait orientation, the video fills the screen. But when I change orientation to landscape, the video takes up only half of the screen. I use FILL_PARENT

, FILL_PARENT

as the configuration parameters.

Is there a way the video can fill the screen in both orientations?

Your video may be too small. You can focus it on the parents to make it look better. Or try requesting a larger video from your provider.

If it fills the screen perfectly in portrait mode, how will it perfectly match landscape mode without changing the aspect ratio?



The same goes for the opposite - if it fits perfectly in landscape mode, when you switch to portrait, it won't take up all of the vertical space.

You may want to consider creating two different layouts for portrait and landscape views. Let's assume you have a /res/layout/main.xml file. In the "/ res /" folder, create a child folder and name it "layout-land", the R file will be automatically generated! Here's a snapshot to keep it simple ...

after you can edit each layout independently ... This is the most common way to deal with orientation changes when it comes to layouts.
