Video shows blank screen while audio and controls work

Hello, I promise I’ve read all the threads on issues related to this and I’ve tried all the suggested remedies but still experiencing the following issues.

This is the screen that I see, the video view is basically a blank screen but the audio and controls work.

Here is my resource file, copied straight from the sample app:

` <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <com.pierfrancescosoffritti.androidyoutubeplayer.core.player.views.YouTubePlayerView
        android:id="@+id/youtube_player_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:autoPlay="true"
        app:videoId="YE7VzlLtp-4"
        app:showYouTubeButton="false"
        app:showSeekBar="false" />

</LinearLayout > `

Here is my Activity code:

override fun onCreate(state: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(state) setContentView(R.layout.activity_ads_video_detail) playerView = findViewById(R.id.youtube_player_view) lifecycle.addObserver(playerView) }

The environment I’m testing on:

• Lib version: 10.0.5
• Kotlin
• Pixel 2 Emulator, API 23, x86_64
• Also reproduced on real Pixel 3 Device running API 28
• Also tried setting hardwareAccelerated=true in the manifest

I don’t think it’s a code related issue, but I’m running out of ideas on what to try next… please help! Thank you!

@AbelTesfaye found the solution for this. Turns out I didn’t enable hardware acceleration in the manifest. Thanks

in the AndroidManifest.xml

<application
        ...
        android:hardwareAccelerated="true">
        ...
</application>
