Question

I have a VideoView which is set up like this:

Answer 1

I have been looking for ways to display video in aspect fill in VideoView but after trying many solutions, none of them seems to work.

So I implemented the following approach and it's working for me:

Code:

@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {

    // getting screen size
    ((Activity) getContext()).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
    int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;
    int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;

    double videoSizeRatio = (double) mVideoHeight / mVideoWidth;
    double screenSizeRatio = (double) height / width;

    if (mVideoWidth > 0 && mVideoHeight > 0) {
        if (videoSizeRatio > screenSizeRatio) { // screen is wider than video width
            height = (int) (videoSizeRatio * width);
        } else if (videoSizeRatio < screenSizeRatio) {
            width = (int) (height / videoSizeRatio);
        }

    }
    setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
}
