Thanks Dianne for quick response. My requirement is to show a video
as a list item (there is only 1 video item and rest of the items in
the list are simple views) and the video item should scroll with the
list. I was able to implement this using videoview inside listview and
noticed that video plays fine when within a list. However, there were
rendering artifacts during scrolling. I was wondering if there are any
other alternate ways to make the video scrolling possible ??
One option that I was thinking is to place the video view on top of
the list view and change its position as the list scrolls. But, I
don't know if it would be possible to move the video view at the same
speed as list during scroll/fling.
The built in android contacts application has implemented the section
headers or separators (A, B, C etc) and pinned header to get a similar
effect. Is the same thing possible with VideoView?
Regarding your comment on recycling view, my understanding was that
when you return the IGNORE_ITEM_VIEW_TYPE in the adapter method
"public int getItemViewType(int position)", ListView does not recycle
that view. I was thinking of implementing along these lines. Do you
recommend this way?
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
if (isVideoViewAt(position) != 0) {
// We don't want the video view to be recycled.
return IGNORE_ITEM_VIEW_TYPE;
}
return super.getItemViewType(position);
}
Thanks,
Sandy
