I can not put android:configChanges="orientation" in the manifest as it prevents me from changing the layouts when the screen rotates. This is the most common solution to the problem I've found but I think what I'm looking for might be more associated with managing the life-cycle of the activity, which I'm woefully unfamiliar with. Here is my code, if anyone knows a solution. Before anyone mentions dialogs, I don't know if or where I used any. So if that's the issue like I've seen in some other threads here, please feel free to enlighten me. If the mediaController is hidden, no error occurs, but the hide() method hasn't helped me so far either.
public class StreamTestMain extends Activity {
private static final String nasaStream = "http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/NTV-Public-IPS.m3u8";
private VideoView videoView;
private MediaController mediaController;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_stream_test_main);
//set up videoView
videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.video_player_view);
videoView.setVideoPath(nasaStream);
//set up mediaController
mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
//orientation adjustments
if(getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
//mediaController placement and text display
mediaController.setPadding(0,0,0,635);
TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView.setTextSize(40);
textView.setText("Video Info Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Here");
} else if(getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
//hide actionbar when video is fullscreen and don't display text
getActionBar().hide();
}//end else if
//finish setting up videoView and begin stream
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.start();
}//onCreate
}//StreamTestMain
