POExtending MediaController for android
text
Body
copied!<p>I am using a <code>VideoView</code> and the <code>MediaController</code> for an app I am working on. I simply wanted to have the <code>MediaController</code> appear on top of my <code>VideoView</code> but apparently you can't do that very easily. I attempted to use the <code>setAnchorView</code> method to my <code>VideoView</code> id, but that didn't work. No matter what I do, the <code>MediaController</code> is always at the bottom of my screen. </p> <p>With that said, I did some research and it looks as if I go about extending <code>MediaController</code>, I can change position and other properties. I have created a new class:</p> <pre><code>package com.dop.mobilevforum; import android.content.Context; import android.widget.MediaController; public class VFPlayer extends MediaController { public VFPlayer(Context context) { super(context); } } </code></pre> <p>and in my parent class:</p> <pre><code>public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.vforum); controller = new VFPlayer(this); vidPlayer = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.vidPlayer); vidPlayer.setMediaController(controller); } </code></pre> <p>It the above is working, my default <code>MediaController</code> still pops up and has all the same functionality. The question is now, how do I go about actually repositioning the controller from inside my <code>VFPlayer</code> class?</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3IljC.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
