android libvlc multiple surface problems

Question

I would know if is possible to use two surface in same layout and view each at same time. In future I would a grid-view of video-view, but each video-view using vlc.

I modify this sample (android-vlc-sample) using fragment.

The result is that I see only one video...How can I solve ?

From log-cat I not see important error, but I think that there are rendering problems for android UIThread

Answer 1

Please try this one:

--- libvlc = LibVLC.getInstance();
+++ libvlc = new LibVLC();

P.S. What version of LibVLC-android you are using?
