SurfaceView height + width gets ignored

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

Same problem here:

I believe the problem is the Vitamio library as I have experienced a similar problem when dealing with the Vitamio SDK. Resizing didn't work for me, when using a SurfaceView and invoking setLayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams params). The below code works fine using the standard Android media-framework, but importing the vitamio packages breaks it.

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams video_VIEWLAYOUT = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) videoView.getLayoutParams();
video_VIEWLAYOUT.width = screenWidth;
video_VIEWLAYOUT.height = (int) (((float)videoHeight / (float)videoWidth) *(float)screenWidth);
videoView.setLayoutParams(video_VIEWLAYOUT);

My recommendation would be to try using the io.vov.vitamio.widget.VideoView instead of a android.view.SurfaceView.

Answer 2

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.
