fast-video-view

develop: master:

Overview

This implementation can only be used in a hardware accelerated window. When rendered in software, FastVideoView will display nothing.

Unlike basic VideoView on Android, does not create a separate window, but behaves as a regular view. This key difference allows a FastViewView to be moved, transformed, animated, etc. For instance, you can make a FastVideoView semi-translucent by calling videoView.setAlpha(0.5). FastVideoView has featuring all of the TextureView.

Using a FastVideoView is simple: all you need is get its basic VideoView on Android. The following examples demonstrate how to use a VideoView:

<com.warnyul.android.widget.FastVideoView
        android:id="@+id/video"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:alpha="0.5"
        android:rotation="45"/>

Java code:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        FastVideoView videoView = (FastVideoView)findViewById(R.id.video);
        videoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
        videoView.setVideoPath("http://yourwebsite.com/customvideo.3gp");
        videoView.setAlpha(0.5f);       // Set transparency.
        videoView.setRotation(45.0f);   // Set rotation.
        videoView.start();
    }
}
