Playing video using MediaPlayer class
You can override the onSizeChanged()
function of the SurfaceView
class to get and set the size of the view.
protected void onSizeChanged (int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh)
When ever the screen size has changed, this class is called.
As a second alternative, you may be able to set the size by setting the layout parameters (unsure if this works with ScrollView):
@Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams lp = this.getLayoutParams();
lp.width = 1000; // required width
lp.height = 1000; // required height
this.setLayoutParams(lp);
}

I am trying to make use of
MediaPlayer
class for playing a video file. The problem is video is not getting displayed at all though I can hear the sound in the video playing.Following is the code of activity
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener { private SurfaceView surfaceView; private Button btnPlay; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); init(); addListener(); } private void init() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub surfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceView1); btnPlay = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnPlay); } private void addListener() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub btnPlay.setOnClickListener(this); } MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = null; @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub switch (v.getId()) { case R.id.btnPlay: try{ if (mediaPlayer != null) { mediaPlayer.reset(); mediaPlayer.release(); }else{ getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.UNKNOWN); MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.wildlife); SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder = surfaceView.getHolder(); surfaceHolder.setFixedSize(176, 144); surfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); mediaPlayer.setDisplay(surfaceHolder); mediaPlayer.start();} }catch (Exception e) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } break; default: break; } } }
Following is the code of layout xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".MainActivity" > <SurfaceView android:id="@+id/surfaceView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" /> <Button android:id="@+id/btnPlay" style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignRight="@+id/surfaceView1" android:layout_alignTop="@+id/surfaceView1" android:text="@string/play" /> </RelativeLayout>
please tell me what needs to be done? Thanks in advance.
