Android Question Videoview question

[Ricardo Bunschoten]

Is it possible when using videoview to play the video default in Landscape ?

i now use this code

Sub test_Click
 Activity.AddView(vv, 10dip, 10dip, 550dip, 550dip)
 vv.
 vv.LoadVideo("http","http://144.76.3.83/sky_sports1gb.m3u8?bandwidth=956&token=205e6dc135bf9e7fe3da60d6ba052211&user=35430&playlistlength=25&os=browser")
 vv.Play
 End Sub

This works perfect but i want the video to load default in landscape since the app is by default in portrait.

Thnx in advance

you can use the phone lib and set the activity to landscape, something like this:

Dim p As Phone 'this varaible you put into globals
Sub test_Click
p.SetScreenOrientation(0) 'setting landscape

Activity.AddView(vv, 10dip, 10dip, 550dip, 550dip)
vv.LoadVideo("http","http://144.76.3.83/sky_sports1gb.m3u8?bandwidth=956&token=205e6dc135bf9e7fe3da60d6ba052211&user=35430&playlistlength=25&os=browser")
vv.Play
End Sub

'when the viedeo finished then set to portrait with
p.SetScreenOrientation(1)

I tried your code the screen rotates but the video does not start

I have to press again the button in landscape mode and then the video starts ?

I have also some apps using video in landscape mode and my app is in portrait, where I prefer starting the video in a new activity:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

    p.SetScreenOrientation(0)
    Activity.LoadLayout("l5")

    If File.Exists(File.DirInternal, video) = False  Then
        File.Copy(File.DirAssets, video, File.DirInternal, video)
    End If
    vv.Initialize("videoview")
    pContent.AddView(vv,0,40dip,100%x,100%y-40dip)
    vv.LoadVideo( File.DirInternal, video)
    vv.Play

End Sub

This works

Best regards
