Question

I have a video view, that plays a certain video this is his xml

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



Some other views


    <VideoView
        android:id = "@+id/video"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        />



</RelativeLayout>

I am trying to center the video in it, yet when ever I play the video, It does not appear at the center, and the location changes a bit depends on the video, how do you center it?

As @jaydroider told, you could use layout_centerInParent=true

In this example, i changed width and height and changed background color of main layout.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:background="@android:color/white">

    <VideoView
        android:id="@+id/video"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_gravity="center" />

</RelativeLayout>

Don't use android:layout_alignParentTop="true" and android:layout_alignParentStart="true" because if you use it, layout always showing at TOP/LEFT position
