Question

How do I get the VideoView to go Fullscreen in lanscape?

I’ve set the following in the manifest file for the activity.

android:screenOrientation=”landscape”
android:theme=”@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen”>

Is there anything else I need to do?

Answer 1

Set the VideoView to fill the screen using android:layout_width and android:layout_height.

Note that the actual video will not fill the screen in most cases, because the aspect ratio of the video will not match the aspect ratio of the screen.
