[ACCEPTED]-playback video full screen-playback

No need to do any coding for playing video 6 to full screen mode

Apply the following layout 5 format over the xml containing the videoview 4 it will for sure will play the video in 3 full screen mode. as it is running mine.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
           android:layout_width="fill_parent"
           android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
   <VideoView android:id="@+id/myvideoview"
             android:layout_width="fill_parent"
             android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
             android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
             android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
             android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
             android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    </VideoView>
 </RelativeLayout>

Plus 2 adding the mediacontroller will also give 1 you the controller to use.

I have solved the problem:

1. To remove the 5 continue/pause buttons remove the media 4 controller. For the looping issue put OnCompletionListener so 3 that when the video reaches the end, it 2 starts again:

videoView.setOnCompletionListener(
        new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
        public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
            videoView.start();
        }
        });

2. To resize the video, override 1 method onMeasure() in VideoView like this:

public class MyVideoView extends VideoView {

        public MyVideoView(Context context) {
            super(context);
        }

        @Override
        protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)
        {
             setMeasuredDimension(480,800);
        }

    }

I know this thread is a few weeks old, but 4 you don't have to copy the video file to 3 the SD card just to play it. Use the following 2 but insert your package name instead of 1 "com.yourcompany.yourproject":

videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://com.yourcompay.yourproject/" + R.raw.yourvideoresource));

If you want to play video in full screen, then 5 just add these line of code in your Androidmanifest.xml 4 file, in the activity where this video is 3 going to play. Just add these two lines 2 in android manifest file.

 android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" 
 android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"

Like in my androidmanifest.xml 1 file i have added it

  <activity
        android:name="com.appliconic.straminglivevideo.MainActivity"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" 
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

Modified @Javanator's answer a bit, this 2 won't stretch the video:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
           android:layout_width="fill_parent"
           android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
   <VideoView android:id="@+id/myvideoview"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:layout_centerVertical="true"
              android:layout_centerHorizontal="true">
    </VideoView>
 </RelativeLayout>

Hope this helps 1 someone :)
