Unable to display complete width of video with Video View

Question

By using android VideoView can't display the complete width of video at the screen. Right side of the screen displays the background image. That means 75% of screen width (left side) displays the video and other 25% of the screen (right side) displays the background image.

Below is my code.

MainActivity.java

final VideoView videoView  =(VideoView)child.findViewById(R.id.video_player);

                MediaController mediaController= new MediaController(this);
                mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
                Uri uri=Uri.parse("http://www.androidbegin.com/tutorial/AndroidCommercial.3gp");
                videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
                videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
                videoView.requestFocus();


                videoView.start();

activity_main.xml

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent">

        <VideoView
            android:id="@+id/video_player"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    </LinearLayout>

How to display the full width of video in android-video view ?

Answer 1

Use Relative Layout and put VideoView inside that :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <VideoView
        android:id="@+id/VideoView"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="false"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="false"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="false"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="false"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:keepScreenOn="true"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

</RelativeLayout>
