How to fit video in Live wallpaper, by center-crop and by fitting to width/height?

Question

Background

I\'m making a live wallpaper that can show a video. In the beginning I thought this is going to be very hard, so some people suggested using OpenGL solu

You can achieve this with a TextureView. (surfaceView won't work either).I have found some code which will help you for achieving this.
in this demo you can crop the video in three type center, top & bottom.

TextureVideoView.java

public class TextureVideoView extends TextureView implements TextureView.SurfaceTextureListener {

    // Indicate if logging is on
    public static final boolean LOG_ON = true;

    // Log tag
    private static final String TAG = TextureVideoView.class.getName();

    private MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer;

    private float mVideoHeight;
    private float mVideoWidth;

    private boolean mIsDataSourceSet;
    private boolean mIsViewAvailable;
    private boolean mIsVideoPrepared;
    private boolean mIsPlayCalled;

    private ScaleType mScaleType;
    private State mState;

    public enum ScaleType {
        CENTER_CROP, TOP, BOTTOM
    }

    public enum State {
        UNINITIALIZED, PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, END
    }

    public TextureVideoView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        initView();
    }

    public TextureVideoView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        initView();
    }

    public TextureVideoView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        initView();
    }

    private void initView() {
        initPlayer();
        setScaleType(ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
        setSurfaceTextureListener(this);
    }

    public void setScaleType(ScaleType scaleType) {
        mScaleType = scaleType;
    }

    private void updateTextureViewSize() {
        float viewWidth = getWidth();
        float viewHeight = getHeight();

        float scaleX = 1.0f;
        float scaleY = 1.0f;

        if (mVideoWidth > viewWidth && mVideoHeight > viewHeight) {
            scaleX = mVideoWidth / viewWidth;
            scaleY = mVideoHeight / viewHeight;
        } else if (mVideoWidth < viewWidth && mVideoHeight < viewHeight) {
            scaleY = viewWidth / mVideoWidth;
            scaleX = viewHeight / mVideoHeight;
        } else if (viewWidth > mVideoWidth) {
            scaleY = (viewWidth / mVideoWidth) / (viewHeight / mVideoHeight);
        } else if (viewHeight > mVideoHeight) {
            scaleX = (viewHeight / mVideoHeight) / (viewWidth / mVideoWidth);
        }

        // Calculate pivot points, in our case crop from center
        int pivotPointX;
        int pivotPointY;

        switch (mScaleType) {
            case TOP:
                pivotPointX = 0;
                pivotPointY = 0;
                break;
            case BOTTOM:
                pivotPointX = (int) (viewWidth);
                pivotPointY = (int) (viewHeight);
                break;
            case CENTER_CROP:
                pivotPointX = (int) (viewWidth / 2);
                pivotPointY = (int) (viewHeight / 2);
                break;
            default:
                pivotPointX = (int) (viewWidth / 2);
                pivotPointY = (int) (viewHeight / 2);
                break;
        }

        Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
        matrix.setScale(scaleX, scaleY, pivotPointX, pivotPointY);

        setTransform(matrix);
    }

After that use this class like the below code in MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener,
        ActionBar.OnNavigationListener {

    // Video file url
    private static final String FILE_URL = "http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4";
    private TextureVideoView mTextureVideoView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        initView();
        initActionBar();

        if (!isWIFIOn(getBaseContext())) {
            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "You need internet connection to stream video",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }

    private void initActionBar() {
        ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
        actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);
        actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);

        SpinnerAdapter mSpinnerAdapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.action_list,
                android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        actionBar.setListNavigationCallbacks(mSpinnerAdapter, this);
    }

    private void initView() {
        mTextureVideoView = (TextureVideoView) findViewById(R.id.cropTextureView);

        findViewById(R.id.btnPlay).setOnClickListener(this);
        findViewById(R.id.btnPause).setOnClickListener(this);
        findViewById(R.id.btnStop).setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        switch (v.getId()) {
            case R.id.btnPlay:
                mTextureVideoView.play();
                break;
            case R.id.btnPause:
                mTextureVideoView.pause();
                break;
            case R.id.btnStop:
                mTextureVideoView.stop();
                break;
        }
    }

    final int indexCropCenter = 0;
    final int indexCropTop = 1;
    final int indexCropBottom = 2;

    @Override
    public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(int itemPosition, long itemId) {
        switch (itemPosition) {
            case indexCropCenter:
                mTextureVideoView.stop();
                mTextureVideoView.setScaleType(TextureVideoView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
                mTextureVideoView.setDataSource(FILE_URL);
                mTextureVideoView.play();
                break;
            case indexCropTop:
                mTextureVideoView.stop();
                mTextureVideoView.setScaleType(TextureVideoView.ScaleType.TOP);
                mTextureVideoView.setDataSource(FILE_URL);
                mTextureVideoView.play();
                break;
            case indexCropBottom:
                mTextureVideoView.stop();
                mTextureVideoView.setScaleType(TextureVideoView.ScaleType.BOTTOM);
                mTextureVideoView.setDataSource(FILE_URL);
                mTextureVideoView.play();
                break;
        }
        return true;
    }

    public static boolean isWIFIOn(Context context) {
        ConnectivityManager connMgr =
                (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo networkInfo = connMgr.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);

        return (networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isConnected());
    }
}

and layout activity_main.xml file for that is below

Output of the code for center crop look like
