Thanks Mark. I tried other containers like HorizontalScrollView which seem to work fine when used in a ListView. I could not find anywhere in the API documentation that the video view cannot be used inside other scrolling containers hence want to confirm if this is limitation in android or a defect that need to be opened.
The use case is mostly for having a gallery or list of videos (or video calls) with one active video playing at a time and user has a chance to switch between full screen and list view and navigate to the rest of the videos.
