How should I override VideoView's onDraw in order for it to have transparent rounded corners?

Question

Clearly using a background shape doesnt work in the case of VideoView Also, there are lots of articles how to override onDraw for ImageView and make its corners round.

Answer 1

I think there is no easy way to do this. You could try this for example:

• place a video window under a ImageView window
• populate the ImageView with a solid color PNG that has a transparent shape in it
• use a FrameLayout or RelativeLayout to hold the two views as they allow views to overlap each other easily
