Zoomable android widget with VideoView component

Question

There is compound widget which consists of VideoView and Button . VideoView play video , Button handle events. I'm struggling how to make it resizable according to pinch gesture .

Answer 1

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add pinch zoom to widgets, since there is no way to add event listeners to widgets. The only way a widget can receive input is assigning on click intents to different components, which start activities. As for videos, look into the VideoView class, although AFAIK this doesn't work well (if at all) with widgets.
