Date: 2021apr21 OS: Android Language: Java Q. Android MediaPlayer.setVideoScalingMode() does not work A. Its supposed to control the scaling, accepting parameters VIDEO_SCALING_MODE_SCALE_TO_FIT VIDEO_SCALING_MODE_SCALE_TO_FIT_WITH_CROPPING In Android 16+ but it doesn't work for me. Sorry, most articles here are solutions. At least we'll saving you some time. I was able to do this by using size change listener and then setting the layout params in there. Having to change the size and position of the view isn't ideal because you have to undo it for the next video you might play.
