Thanks Mr.Mark. I have two questions here. 1. Do you mean with the current code MediaController on VideoView, i can't achieve removing built-in overlay controls? If i use MediaPlayer and SurfaceView, i'll be able to hide built-in overlay controls and add mine if i want? 2. I have gone through vidtry code a day ago, but got totally confused. I'm sorry, i'm new to this development. Is there any other way that i can see the code for only this particular task? 3. If i want to start the video player with my video file **Automatically, when the device starts(reboot), is it possible to do that on Android?
Please advise. --- On Sat, 10/17/09, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: From: Mark Murphy <[email protected]> Subject: [android-beginners] Re: UrgentHelp:Play Video file when accelerometer is triggered code error: To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, October 17, 2009, 3:02 AM Prabakar wrote: > Thanks a lot for your answers.
