MediaController positioning over VideoView

Question

I have a VideoView that takes up the top half of the Activity in portrait orientation with the bottom half of the screen showing some images and text. I am playing a rtsp v

Answer 1

I did it by wrapping the VideoView inside a LinearView such that the LinearView has layout_width="match_parent" so that it always stretches to the extent of the screen but layout_height="wrap_content" so that the height of the linear view is always fixed to the height of the content. This way when the video plays the controls are always positioned with the VideoView.

and the code for the Activity:

// create media controller
val mediaController = MediaController(this@DisplayClipActivity)
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView)
mediaController.setMediaPlayer(videoView)

// video view
videoView.setVideoURI(uri)
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController)
videoView.start()
