Android video view is displaying a big black screen when opening a video for first time before playing for some miliseconds. then Video is playing fine.But how to remove that black screen while playing the video ?
I'm using a VideoView integrated in my layout. when the videoview start playing, it seems like, the surface view (with black background during the media prepare state) is displaying in fullscreen ahead of my window. its not a huge problem since the video is playing fine after that, in the bounds I defined for my video view, but it can be really weird and scary for the user to see his screen turn black for a very short while. Has any of you ever seen this problem ? and do you have a fix I could try ? I try to read a different video in another VideoView next to the first one. The black screen is visible at the first call to videoviex.start() method. If I stop and rest the first and then start the second one, no black screen. so I guess it happens at the media surface initialisation (is surface is shared by every surface view isn't it ?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
