Android VideoLayout Library

More stylish background designs
Performance friendly and scalable

Why this project exists

The normal videoview on Android is very costly in terms of performance. Also, due to the video resolution ratio and apk size, most developers don't want to include videos in the project. With this library, developers will have a performance-friendly video background with a few lines of code.

Features and Usage

Easy implementation

        frameLayout = findViewById(R.id.frameLayout)
        videoLayout = VideoLayout(this)
        videoLayout.setGravity(VideoLayout.VGravity.centerCrop)
        videoLayout.setIsLoop(true)
        videoLayout.setPathOrUrl("loginvideotype3.mp4") // could be any video url
        frameLayout.addView(videoLayout)

    <egolabsapps.basicodemine.videolayout.VideoLayout
            android:id="@+id/videoLayout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            app:video_gravity="centerCrop"
            app:path_or_url="loginvideotype3.mp4"
            app:loop="true"/>

You should put your mp4 files into assets folder, If you use URL you should declare

   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
