In my application, I want to display videoview as a rounded corners. I have tried placing videoview/surfaceview inside linearlayout with rounded corner set to linearlayout. but it does not work perfectly. I can not set rounded corner to videoview/surfaceview. I want to set view as below image:
Anyone have idea how to do this?
Not sure why there are so many bad answers when the solution is really simple (as long as you're min sdk > 21). Creating a shape and putting it overtop of the video won't work because you obviously want the background to be transparent to see the views behind it.
I found the answer here Android View Clipping. You just put the video view in a frame layout, add a rounded background to the frame layout, add an outline provider and clip the frame layout to the outline.
The background rounded_video_background:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#000000"/>
<corners android:radius="16dp" />
</shape>
The frame layout and video view inside of it:
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/video_view_container"
android:layout_width="90dp"
android:layout_height="120dp"
android:background="@drawable/rounded_video_background"
android:outlineProvider="background">
<VideoView
android:id="@+id/video_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
/>
</FrameLayout>
And the final step is clipping to the outline (didn't see a way to do it in xml so I did it programatically):
video_view_container.clipToOutline = true
Its worked for me,
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="25dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<VideoView
android:id="@+id/video"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="215dp" />
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
You can make it using a FramLayout & an XML drawable
FramLayout
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<VideoView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="@dimen/dp_240"
android:layout_margin="@dimen/dp_24"/>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/rounded_corner_video_bg" />
</FrameLayout>
XML Drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="@dimen/dp_24"
android:color="@color/md_white_1000" />
<corners android:radius="@dimen/dp_24" />
</shape>
You could try layering different views on top of each other to create the rounded corners you are looking for. Try placing four ImageViews over the VideoView in each corner, to achieve the desired rounded corners. I have had success using a RelativeLayout to accomplish this, but you could also try using a FrameLayout to hold the Views together.
It is directly not possible, but you can do this by draw a imageview on top of videoview and set an image having transparent from between and solid color in rounded shape on the corners. check this: Click here
Its simple, 1. Create a drawable with rounded corners as mentioned by @sunil kumar 2. Set that drawable to your layout as a background 3. When using that layout set layout(your layout item name).clipToOutline = true
This is XML code of rounded VideoView.
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:id="@+id/videoCard"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
app:cardCornerRadius="20dp"
card_view:cardBackgroundColor="@color/white">
<VideoView
android:id="@+id/relativeVideo"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="225dp"
android:paddingTop="-10dp"
android:paddingBottom="-10dp" />
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
Negative padding is important otherwise height of VideoView is smaller than cardview by half of cornerRadius in both top and bottom side. You can set height whatever you want but negative padding should be half of cardCornerRadius all the time. Purple in the image is a video preview, not related to xml.
Have a nice day!
Create an xml file in drawable folder called shape_video.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="6dp" />
</shape>
Change the radius according to your rqmnt and in the background attribute of your videoview, give
android:background="@drawable/shape_video"
put rounded.xml in your drawable folder and set on framelayout of video like android:background="@drawable/rounded.xml"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFFFF" />
<corners android:radius="7dp" />
</shape>
