title: Android Studios - Adjusting VideoView Size in Layout Editor
body: <p>I've only ever seen questions asking how to full screen the VideoView but what I'm trying to do is have a video playing as only a part of the activity, with some additional elements on the page. How would I go about doing that? It doesn't seem that I have control of the size of the VideoView, I can only shift it around in the designer.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Additional Info</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
      android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
      android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
      android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
      tools:context="com.MyActivity"&gt;
  
      &lt;Button
          Default button Stuff    
      /&gt;
  
      &lt;TextView
          Default textview stuff
      /&gt;
  
      &lt;VideoView
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:id="@+id/videoView"
          android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
          android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
          android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
          android: /&gt;
  
  &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As far as ideal proportions go, maybe something like 500 x 400 dp? I can play with numbers after I understand the process.</p>
