VideoView in Fullscreen

How do I get the VideoView to go Fullscreen in lanscape?

I've set the following in the manifest file for the activity.

android:screenOrientation="landscape" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">

Is there anything else I need to do?

By changing the configuration of layout you can stretch your video.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <VideoView android:id="@+id/videoViewRelative"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    </VideoView>

</RelativeLayout>

To make the activity fullscreen you can change the theme as follows

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

Or you can do it by adding the code below before setContentView() method in onCreate() in the activity (java) class.

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,  
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

Set the VideoView to fill the screen using android:layout_width and android:layout_height.

Note that the actual video will not fill the screen in most cases, because the aspect ratio of the video will not match the aspect ratio of the screen.
