Question

The following script works flawless, but the size of my videoplayer will get f\'d after changing my surfaceview from portrait to landscape. Tried several options like

Answer 1

use this method and call it inside onConfigurationChanged method :

private void setVideoSize() {

    // // Get the dimensions of the video

            // mVideoView is your video view object.

    int videoWidth = mVideoView.getVideoWidth();
    int videoHeight = mVideoView.getVideoHeight();
    float videoProportion = (float) videoWidth / (float) videoHeight;

    // Get the width of the screen
    int screenWidth = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();
    int screenHeight = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();
    float screenProportion = (float) screenWidth / (float) screenHeight;

    // Get the SurfaceView layout parameters
    android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams lp = mVideoView.getLayoutParams();
    if (videoProportion > screenProportion) {
        lp.width = screenWidth;
        lp.height = (int) ((float) screenWidth / videoProportion);
    } else {
        lp.width = (int) (videoProportion * (float) screenHeight);
        lp.height = screenHeight;
    }
    // Commit the layout parameters
    mVideoView.setLayoutParams(lp);
}

Now on change of orientation your videoview will be resized.
