A VideoView
based on the official Android 7.1.1_r13 sources using a TextureView
instead of a SurfaceView
by sprylab technologies GmbH. It will work on Android 4.0+ (API level 15 and above).
The main advantages of this drop-in replacement compared to the original VideoView
are the following:
android.view.TextureView
instead of a android.view.SurfaceView
thus allowing proper view animations as described in the Property Animation API guidesetShouldRequestAudioFocus(true)
to programmatically disable audio focus request before opening a video file -
default behaviour is unchanged and complies with the current VideoView
implementation (thanks to @ezaquarii)Surface
on API level 16+ when calling stopPlayback()
(thanks to @hithere1985)Unfortunately, code that uses hidden APIs and thus is not publicly available had to be removed (e.g. subtitle support).
