Of course. That is what your users want. > Is this a default feature of android devices or is there a solution > to resolve this ?Why does not the "fill_parent" attribute work? It does work. The ratio of 480 to 320 is 3:2. The ratio of 800 to 480 is 5:3. You cannot fill a 5:3 screen with a 3:2 video and maintain the original aspect ratio. Hence, VideoView will expand the video (maintaining aspect ratio) until it runs out of room on one axis. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 2.2 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
