In Android's VideoView, here is a simple and easy way to achieve the same effect as ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP

XML

In Kotlin:

videoView.setOnPreparedListener { mediaPlayer ->
    val videoRatio = mediaPlayer.videoWidth / mediaPlayer.videoHeight.toFloat()
    val screenRatio = videoView.width / videoView.height.toFloat()
    val scaleX = videoRatio / screenRatio
    if (scaleX >= 1f) {
        videoView.scaleX = scaleX
    } else {
        videoView.scaleY = 1f / scaleX
    }
}

In JAVA:

videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
      float videoRatio = mp.getVideoWidth() / (float) mp.getVideoHeight();
      float screenRatio = videoView.getWidth() / (float) 
      videoView.getHeight();
      float scaleX = videoRatio / screenRatio;
      if (scaleX >= 1f) {
          videoView.setScaleX(scaleX);
      } else {
          videoView.setScaleY(1f / scale);
      }
   }
});

And this worked for me. Hope this will help someone.
