I am trying to make this VideoView to appear in full screen mode :
public class ViewVideo extends Activity {
private String filename;
private static final int INSERT_ID = Menu.FIRST;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
System.gc();
Intent i = getIntent();
Bundle extras = i.getExtras();
filename = extras.getString("videofilename");
VideoView vv = new VideoView(getApplicationContext());
setContentView(vv);
vv.setVideoPath(filename);
vv.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
vv.requestFocus();
vv.start();
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.add(0, INSERT_ID, 0,"FullScreen");
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()) {
case INSERT_ID:
createNote();
}
return true;
}
private void createNote() {
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
}
}
The video is playing from sdcard. Only thing is when I click on the full-screen menu button, the application "stops unexpectedly".
Please help me out, how to get the video to run in full screen? Thanks in advance.
when you click an menu item. you have to start a New Activity. for that Activity you have to set the theme attribute in the Manifest. set this value that is
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
thats it.
