Android detects video from url is in portrait orientation

Question

In my Android app, I have a custom video player that plays video from a URL. However, when the video is in portrait orientation, the video rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise in the application.

Is there a way to get the video orientation and rotate the view accordingly? I need to dynamically determine the orientation, because the application can still play landscape videos (which is currently without orientation problems).

Here is what I have to show the video:

// create the video controller
videoController = new MediaController(this);
videoControllerExists = true;
videoController.setAnchorView(mediaHolder);
videoController.setPadding(0, 0, 0, bottomButtonHeight);

s3Video = new VideoView(MediaPreview.this);
s3Video.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(mediaURL));
s3Video.setMediaController(videoController);
// do something here to determine if video is in portrait orientation
DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
int h = displaymetrics.heightPixels;
int w = displaymetrics.widthPixels;

// add the video player to the view and play
mediaHolder.addView(s3Video);
s3Video.start();
s3Video.bringToFront();
videoController.requestFocus();

Here is a portrait video with which you can test if you tried this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1000620/portrait.mp4

Answer 3

Can the code below help?

activity.setRequestedOrientation(videoView.getWidth() < videoView.getHeight() ? ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT : ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
