Hello, In an Activity I have embedded a Video widget (VideoView or MediaPlayer associated to a SurfaceView) which size should be adapted when the screen is rotated. This Activity is used as content in a TabHost.
**My current Approach** In order to handle screen rotation I have provided two layouts one for portrait and another for landscape orientation (placed in ./res/layout and ./res/layout-land folders). Problem of this approach is that a new Activity is created for each rotation so I don't use the same MediaPlayer (or VideoView) => I start the video from the beginning every time I rotate the screen. As the video is streamed from the web there is no way to store the position in the video in order to seek to this position when restarting the video in the other Activity. **What I would like to do** I need to be able to translate/scale/hide views inside the Activity when screen is rotated. Translation/scaling needs to maintain layout organisation in order to have a layout adapted to different screen sizes. **My questions** - How to translate/move views to the top-left position of the screen ? - How to hide/translate View outside of the screen in order to make a View disappear ? - How to scale/resize View to adjust its size to available space around it ? - Which interface, callback do I need to implement in order to be notified of screen rotation to fire these transformations ? Thanks in advance for your solutions/ideas.
