Android VideoView LinearLayout LayoutParams

My app plays a video using VideoView. I am using a LinearLayout to add some text, the video and then some buttons.

My question is what kind of layout params can I use for the VideoView to make sure it plays well in all phones? Basically, when in portrait mode, I want the complete width to be used, and video height to be used. When in landscape, I would like it to look more like the full screen mode.

I have noticed that this setting works well on myTouch for both portrait and landscape,

new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,480);

and, this works on Droid for both portrait and landscape,

new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

Thanks Chris

Have it fill all available space. VideoView will scale the video to take advantage of whatever room you give it.
