Videoview Resize Not Working while using DraggablePanel Library Android

I am trying to implement drag layout like youtube, for playing video in my applicaiton.
I took the help from DraggablePanel library in Github. It works fine.
My application is for above 4.0 .
When i try to drag the video it do not scale properly. Video is getting cut, when dragged/minimized to bottom.
Can you please help me how to resize the video when dragged ?

Solved it myself. User TextureView instead of SurfaceView or VideoView. SurfaceView does not support animations. Check this link if you want to know how to use textureView for playing video : Playing video on TextureView

How to capture bitmap image from video

i am using SurfaceView for play video and i want to get image from running video, i have tried with getDrawingCache() but i am getting blank image or Black screen but when i draw image of any other layout which dont have video then this is working fine,
so please anybody can solve this issue that How to get bitmap images from video or surfaceView. Thanks in advance please answer my question if you know.
I have used this code but not getting result.
mVideo.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
mVideo.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap b = mVideo.getDrawingCache();

This won't work because the video content is not "exposed" to the normal view layers.
If you are using API Level >= 10 you can use MediaMetadataRetriever getFrameAtTime. It's described here.
Even this may not return the exact frame as it is fairly hardware dependent.
The most sure way to do this is to use something like FFMPEG to access the stream yourself.

How to retrieve a Bitmap/image from videoview

I'm trying to get a snapshot of the current position of playback of a video, but I couldn't find an appropriate way to do that. Is there a method I can use?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

VideoView extends SurfaceView, so it seems there is no easy way to do it. Take a look at this post: http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/c4720072d659f4f0/9b207dc411c5e800?lnk=raot
You may need to read the movie raw file, implement your own drawing mechanism, and access directly the file instead of the Canvas for the screenshot.

How to play a video in surface view

I want to play a video giving fixed height and width, not whole screen.
Can anybody tell me how to play the video in a surface view on android? Please provide sample code

Maybe a VideoView is what you want. I found some sample-code here.

Please try below:
surfaceholder.setFixedSize(width,height);
