Java Development

Hi, I'm trying to write application that will play video and I found that it's not possible to make Blackberry play video in full screen mode or in rectangle with dimensions larger than size of video.

Video always plays in 1:1 mode even if VideoControl.setDisplaySize() VideoControl.setDisplayFullScreen() methods are used.

This issue is reproduced on OS 4.2, 4.3 and 4.5 and higher I guess.

Can somebody advise on this?

By the way, I found the following statement in SDK doc (in VideoControl.setDisplaySize() method description):

If the dimensions of the requested display size are bigger than the dimensions of the video clip, some implementations may resize the video while others may leave the video clip in the original size and just enlarge the display region.

It looks like the Blakberry implementation just leaves the video clip in the original size and just enlarge the display region.

You are seeing the expected behaviour.  It is not possible to modify a video's aspect ratio.

Perhaps I wasn't clear - I am NOT
trying to change the aspect ratio, all I'm trying to do is to resize
the video MAINTAINING THE ASPECT RATIO using this particular
API which doesn't seem to work fully (I can set to play video in
full mode originally, however if I change the size to a smaller one,
I can't change back to its original, larger size).
Please let me know if there is an alternative API to achieve that.
