I'm relatively new to Android development, and I was wondering if it's possible to mask a VideoView into a shape. This is what I have so far:
Expected Result
My XML for video view and layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#0088ff"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".VideoPlayerActivity" >
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="@drawable/circular_mask"
android:foreground="@drawable/circular_mask" >
<VideoView
android:id="@+id/videoView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="false" />
<Space
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Mask shape xml:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:padding="20dp"
android:shape="oval" >
<solid android:color="#FFFFFFFF" />
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
Main java:
package com.example.webmvideo;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.VideoView;
import android.util.Log;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Uri srcPath = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.example.webmvideo/" + R.raw.test);
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final VideoView videoView = (VideoView)
findViewById(R.id.videoView1);
videoView.setVideoURI(srcPath);
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new
MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
String TAG = null;
Log.i(TAG , "Duration = " + videoView.getDuration());
}
});
videoView.start();
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
