Answer 1

Create a xml like this,

Add equal weight for the views and make there height 0dp, it will take equal height.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    >

  <ImageView
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="0dp"
      android:layout_weight="1"
      android:background="#ccc"
      />
  <VideoView
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="0dp"
      android:layout_weight="1"
      />
</LinearLayout>

It will help you.
