UPDATE: Got a reply from Google that it isn't possible: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11752&can=1&q=videoview&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
This should have been the simplest thing, but I can't get it to run. The following XML layout will cause Error inflating AppWidget AppWidgetProviderInfo exception:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="@drawable/video_bk"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<VideoView
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/VideoView"></VideoView>
</LinearLayout>
What am I doing wrong here? I even thought about dynamically adding the VideoView to the LinearLayout at run-time, but failed, so if anyone have an idea about how to do that - it will be great!
