Android Native SDK - Streatching option like FILL, EXACT_FILL, UNIFORM, NONE are not working

1. In Web I can see some options like Exact fit/ fill to remove black borders around the player. I have implemented Androrid SDK and able to play m3u8 file but it shows black borders around. I used below option but still the same.

playerView.getConfig().setStretching(PlayerConfig.STRETCHING_EXACT_FIT);

2. I have implemented JwPlayer in RecyclerView. I just placed the player only in active index row position. While Playing first video I just got black flickering effect on screen. I refered this github sample. It shows the same

Can one pls support on this? Thanks in advance

1. You need to setStretching prior to instantiation.
Example:

2. We advice against using multiple players within the same screen:

Using the player within a ListView or RecyclerView is not fully supported due to known limitations, such as the use of a SurfaceView.

Sounds like it’s a device specific issue. The device may not be able to play that content.
