ExoPlayer: Place controller under the video without overlapping the video

I have a PlayerView that takes up the top half of the Activity in portrait orientation with the bottom half of the screen showing some text.
I need to have the controller under the video without overlapping the video content (it will always be shown). By default when a user touches the video the controller appears at the bottom of the video covering the bottom part of the video. I my case I need the controller to stick under the video with no intersections with the video content.
I went through SimpleExoPlayer and PlayerView APIs but I haven't found any way to do so.
Question: How can I place the controller under the video with ExoPlayer?
Here is how the layout looks like:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.PlayerView
android:id="#+id/video_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_below="#id/video_view"
android:scrollbars="vertical" />
</RelativeLayout>

This will push the controls down to the bottom of the screen:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.PlayerView
android:id="#+id/video_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:use_controller="false" />
<com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.PlayerControlView
android:id="#+id/controls"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/video_view"
app:show_timeout="0" />
</RelativeLayout>
Then in Java:
PlayerView videoView = findViewById(R.id.video_view);
PlayerControlView controls = findViewById(R.id.controls);
controls.setPlayer(videoView.getPlayer());
Edit: Modified my answer to suggestion from #RashimiGautam

Refer to the answer by #Pierre.
Also to remove controller from above PlayerView, in that case, #id/video_view by writing player.showController(false) in java file.
You can also use app:use_controller:false in the xml.
So you will the only the video without controller on top. And link it to a new controller, in that case, #id/controls at the bottom of the video.

This might give you an idea, also have you tried to override the controls?
As an example, suppose we want our playback controls to consist of only a play/pause button positioned in the center of the view. We can achieve this by creating exo_playback_control_view.xml file in the application’s res/layout directory, containing:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageButton android:id="#id/exo_play"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#CC000000"
style="#style/ExoMediaButton.Play"/>
<ImageButton android:id="#id/exo_pause"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#CC000000"
style="#style/ExoMediaButton.Pause"/>
</FrameLayout>
Note that in the layout #id/exo_play and #id/exo_pause are standard ids defined by the ExoPlayer library. Use of standard ids is required so that child views can be identified, bound to the player and updated in an appropriate way. A full list of the standard ids for each view can be found in the Javadoc for PlaybackControlView and SimpleExoPlayerView. Use of each standard id is optional.

Android: Adding Image to Master Detail Flow, scrolling text

I'm working on a information orientated app using the master/detail flow and so far, so good. I would like to add images to the TextView, but it's formatted differently then what I've experienced in the past and I'm lost. from my understanding of what I've read while searching is that the scrolling text is "newer" when generating the Master/detail activity, therefore I haven't found any information on this specific issue. I would also like to pass the images in using the content activity, so it would be-
addItem(new Item(ID,Name,Detail,Image1,Image2));
what the detail XML file looks like
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/bobblehead_detail"
style="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="16dp"
android:textIsSelectable="true"
tools:context="com.example.johnson.fallout4bobbleheadlocations.BobbleheadDetailFragment" />
I tried adding ImageView's under it, but I received errors.
tl;dr I would like to add 2 images under the scrolling TextView.

I am not sure if I clearly understand what you mean but looking at your xml it seems to me that you need to add a layout (either relative or linear) to your xml file and then add a textview and two imageviews (or whatever you want) into that layout.
Something like this:
<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:padding="16dp" tools:context="com.example.somefragment">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/some_id2"
android:text="Here is your text"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/some_id"
android:src="#drawable/image1"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/some_id3"
android:src="#drawable/image2"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Android application Responsive(Fit for all screen sizes)

I am developing an android application,That has a buttons and images.I need to make it responsive.If i use bigger devices like tablets,it displays the controls very small.And when i used in landscape mode,it displays half of the controls or items.How can i overcome this and make my application responsive to all devices.I attached one of my XML code below.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="125dp"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:layout_weight="0.01"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
>
</ImageView>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layButtonH"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.01"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/addnew"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" ADD NEW "
android:background="#drawable/button_shape"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/open"
android:background="#drawable/button_shape_cancel"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" OPEN "
android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/Register"
android:background="#drawable/button_shape_cancel"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" LOGIN "
android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />
</LinearLayout>

You can start off with below mentioned resources. Making an app available for all screen sizes needs certain consideration while designing and developing the app.
You will have to work on your images to make them consistent with different screen sizes. This will solve the issue with very small controls in tablets.
Also, it looks like in landscape mode your widgets are going beyond the screen height. A quick solution would be to put the LinearLayout within a ScrollView so that it scrolls when in landscape and you see all of your controls. But ideal way would be to have different layouts for landscape and portrait modes.
If you use ScrolLView the code will look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Your remaining xml elements -->
</ScrollView>
Ref:
Design for multiple screens
Supporting different screen sizes
Supporting multiple screens

For responsive design take
1) Don't give hard code values like as 125dp rather than user wrap_content or match_parent property
2) Put images under res drawable as per resolution OS take images suited for its resolution, e.g for tablet design create drawable-sw600 folder under res and put tablet images under it.
3) Same for values->dimension create different dimens file with specific folder name. e.g values-sw600 which is used for tablet
4) Use ScrollView control for avoiding screen cutting in landscape mode.

Can't get imageview to sit flush with the top of the screen

I'm trying to place an image view at the top of the screen, but it has some type of margin above and below it. So I tried adjustViewBounds = true, and it worked but then it wouldn't reach the sides of the screen. I just want it to be flush with the top of the screen, and reach the sides. Any suggestions?
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="${packageName}.${activityClass}"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/title_bar"/>
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/goals"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/black" >
</RelativeLayout>

If it is just colored title bar - then it is make sense to use just View for example and set background property to needed color. If You have custom image for that and can not adjust it with default ImageView properties - then You can make 9Patch from your image and use it as a background also (in 9patch you decide by yourself how to scratch image and where to place content). You can find 9patch tool in android SDK. More info about 9patch:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/NinePatch.html

I had this same problem. What I ended up doing was using a negative margin on the top of the ImageView like so:
android:layout_marginTop="-4dp"
You may have to play around to find the optimal number of dp for you. Hope this helps.

Fragments are not running perfectly in real device

I have used fragments to define a simple splitview, in the right site i used a layout containing videoview the xml code is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<VideoView
android:id="#+id/tvT"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
and in the left site in another fragment layout I have defined some buttons to play different videos, The program is running well in emulators, but when I run it on device, the videoview overlapped the whole area and creates a horrible look, what should I do?

You need to post more of your code if you can; what you have posted isn't really enough for people to help you. [Edit: Darn, I thought this was trivial enough to be automatically moved to a comment on the original question :-\ ]

May you could try with "fill_parent" because the video could be to big and uses the hole display:
<VideoView
android:id="#+id/tvT"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
If you can it would be good if you post some code how you setup your fragments.
