Using Android's TextureView to Display Video Mirrored

http://adevelopers-blog.blogspot.sg/2014/02/using-androids-textureview-to-display.html

Android's VideoView can only play videos straight and not mirrored.
If you want your app to play a video mirrored (for instance if the video was recorded using a front camera), you will need to use a TextureView, which can be easily mirrored by specifyingandroid:scaleX=-1 in the XML file, or textureView.setScaleX(-1) in the code.

Here is a code sample for playing video using TextureView, with the option of displaying the video mirrored:

public class SampleActivity implements SurfaceTextureListener { boolean isMirrored = true; @Override protected void onCreate( Bundle savedInstanceState) { super .onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView( R .layout .activity_sample); TextureView textureView = ( TextureView)findViewById( R .id .myTextureView); textureView .setSurfaceTextureListener( this); textureView .setScaleX(isMirrored ? - 1 : 1); }   @Override public void onSurfaceTextureAvailable( SurfaceTexture surface, int width, int height) { MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); mediaPlayer .setSurface( new Surface(surface)); try { mediaPlayer .setDataSource( "my_video_file.mp4"); mediaPlayer .prepare(); mediaPlayer .start(); } catch ( Exception e) { e .printStackTrace(); } } @Override public boolean onSurfaceTextureDestroyed( SurfaceTexture surfaceTexture) { return false;} @Override public void onSurfaceTextureSizeChanged( SurfaceTexture surfaceTexture, int width, int height) {} @Override public void onSurfaceTextureUpdated( SurfaceTexture surfaceTexture) {} }
