I have a video view embedded in a somewhat complex UI. As part of the look, the container of the videoview tends to animate in and out from the sides (but the video isn't visible during the animation). To save some memory when the video container isn't visible, I'm trying to unref that subtree of the view hierarchy.
Attempt #1: Unref the entire subtree and inflate later when I need it. VideoView works fine the first time, but after I unref and re-inflate it fails to ever call the onPrepare() listener to trigger well timed playback. Attempt #2: Preserve the VideoView between unrefs, manually adding adding it after each inflate and remove it from its parent before unrefing the subtree of view surrounding it. Works the first time, but will only render a black screen after I add the view back on the second pass. Suggestions on how to fix either problem, or alternatives? (Let me preempt comments on using Activities. The basic Activity structure didn't fit the design, and I've heard horror stories about ActivityGroups, so we didn't do that at first. By and large it what we have works. Even if ActivityGroups are the right solution, I need a quicker fix in the short term.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
