android-videoview

I have a video file and I want to get width and height of video. I don't want to play it, just to get size. I've tried to use MediaPlayer: MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); mp.setDataSource(uriString); mp.prepare(); int width = mp.getVideoWidth(); int height = mp.getVideoHeight(); but it returns 0 for width and height, because VideoSizeChangedEvent didn't fire yet. How can I get width and height of video? UPD: I need API version 7 This works in API level 10 and up: MediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever(); retriever.setDataSource("/path/to/video.mp4"); int width =

I need to be able to rotate a video on screen, so I created a custom TextureView which provides a convenience layer over a MediaPlayer similar to how the current implementation of VideoView does. This Android blog post says the following about TextureView: Because a SurfaceView’s content does not live in the application’s window, it cannot be transformed (moved, scaled, rotated) efficiently. This makes it difficult to use a SurfaceView inside a ListView or a ScrollView. SurfaceView also cannot interact properly with some features of the UI toolkit such as fading edges or View.setAlpha(). To

Using a VideoView is it possible to set a scale factor for Android? By Default the video view resizes itself to fit the encoded resolution of the Video. Can I force Android to render a video into a smaller or larger rect? By Default the video view resizes itself to fit the encoded resolution of the Video. VideoView (or the SurfaceView for use with MediaPlayer ) will be the size you tell it to be in your layout. Within that space , the video will play back as large as possible while maintaining the aspect ratio. Can I force Android to render a video into a smaller or larger rect? Yes: make your

I have the following code to take a video as a raw resource, start the video and loop it but I need the video to loop seamlessly as of now when it comes to an end of the clip and starts the clip again the transition between causes a flicker for a split second, which I really can't have for my app. public class Example extends Activity { VideoView vv; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); vv = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoView01); //Video Loop vv

VideoView vv = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.screen_video); Uri uri = Uri.parse(URL); vv.setVideoURI(uri); vv.start(); I use above code to play video file. I play a small video successly. But when I try to play a large video. It was Failure. The file is can be play by my phone. How to play a large video file with videoview? Or what limitation of videoview has? I didn't see any error in logcat. But it also didn't show the buffering percentage. I don't know (and I could not find) clear specifications for videoview to play a video of a certain size. But to me it depends on the device and on

I am creating an App that is playing a video (as splash screen) but I am confused which are the correct sizes for each different screen. I have already checked a lot of answers (this link was indeed helpful but still not clear) and official documentations but it is still confusing me. I created the following folders: raw-ldpi, raw-mdpi, raw-hdpi, raw-xhdpi, raw-xxhdpi, raw-xxxhdpi BUT what are the correct video sizes for each of the above different folder? For example for raw-ldpi what are the correct video dimensions? (i.e 240 x 360) I found out the following resolutions from this site and
