[android-developers] Video (VideoView) flickering and/or doesn't display on ICS (but works fine on Android <= 2.x)

Mathias Lin Sun, 06 May 2012 23:34:23 -0700

I have an app with a VideoView, which works fine on all Android devices up 
to 2.x (Gingerbread), but has problems with devices running ICS.


On some devices, the videos don't play, on other devices the video doesn't 
play when rotating the device. Instead, the screen starts flickering.
(tested on: SGS2, HTC Desire, LG L7, Ainovo Paladium tablet, all running 
4.0.x)

I've already tried changing the manifest to 
android:hardwareAccelerated="false" and also set the VideoView layer type 
to mVideoView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);

The code itself is very basic and just using the standard video view and 
media controller:

setContentView(R.layout.act_video_player);
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.vw_player);
mVideoView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
Display display = ((WindowManager) 
getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
mVideoView.setMediaController(mc);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(mVideoURI);
mVideoView.setVideoURI(uri);
mVideoView.requestFocus();


and the manifest:

<uses-sdk
  android:minSdkVersion="7"
  android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>

<supports-screens
android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="false"
android:resizeable="true"
android:anyDensity="true"/>

<application
    ...
    android:hardwareAccelerated="false"/>


Below is the complete log, of which I think the following lines are 
relevant:

Anybody else having experienced issues with video playback on ICS?
