How do I make an video within a videoview turn 90 degrees and make it fullscreen

Question

I am trying to get an video to play as background. But I can only get it to take half of the screen. So, I need the video to stretch to 16:9 and turn it 90 degrees to make it fullscreen.

Im working within an test project right now.

MainActivity

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements GestureOverlayView.OnGesturePerformedListener{

GestureLibrary gestureLib;
VideoView vvRick;
private Button btnTest;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        gestureLib = GestureLibraries.fromRawResource(this, R.raw.gestures);
        if (!gestureLib.load()) {
            finish();
        }
        GestureOverlayView gOverlay =
                (GestureOverlayView) findViewById(R.id.gOverlay);
        gOverlay.addOnGesturePerformedListener(this);

        vvRick = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.vvRick);
        btnTest = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnTest);

        btnTest.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Workss!!",
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });


    }

    public void onGesturePerformed(GestureOverlayView overlay, Gesture gesture) {
        ArrayList<Prediction> predictions = gestureLib.recognize(gesture);

        if (predictions.size() > 0 && predictions.get(0).score > 3.0) {
            String result = predictions.get(0).name;
            if ("turn".equalsIgnoreCase(result)) {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Reverse", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            } else if ("easteregg".equalsIgnoreCase(result)) {
                Toast.makeText(this, "EasterEgg", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                vvRick.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.rickroll));
                vvRick.start();
            } else{
                Toast.makeText(this, "FOUT", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            }
        }
    }
}

the easiest would be to rotate the `VideoView`. Otherwise you need to extract each frame rotate it then place them together to create a video etc — Muhammad Babar, Dec 01 '15 at 13:13
I've tried to, but now it doesnt show at all. I can hear the sound of the video though. — Mike Lammers, Dec 01 '15 at 15:45

VideoView does not support rotation of video even if composition matrix is set correctly and rotation attribute is used.

What you can do is to use TextureView and set its attribute rotation="90" (for example). It then will rotate the frames but the aspect ratio is something that you need to handle your self. In order to do so you can use textTureView.setScaleX((screenHeight * 1.0f) / screenWidth)
