[bradmartin]

Need to add the ability to go Fullscreen with the video.

Here is a possible solution for now https://github.com/bradmartin/nativescript-videoplayer/issues/28#issuecomment-240914968

I'll add a method to toggle 'Immersive Mode' for Android in the future.

More difficult than just setting the window flags on Android. I'll try to find time to work on this later, not much free time right now. Definitely open for PRs if someone wants to work on it.

Is there any news on this? If not, is there something that I can do to help?

[bradmartin]

I haven't had any time lately to work on it. Making it work with the video player is a lot of work. A good alternative might be to have a separate plugin using one of the popular third party android video libs that has done the work of Fullscreen on all the different android APIs. It might be faster to take that approach. However having this plugin support it would still be great I just haven't had time to work on it. Sorry.

Hey @jbfulgencio in our implementation of the plugin, we actually do this manually by making the video itself 100% height and width. You could even animate that.

[bradmartin]

I haven't played with the plugin since the major update. That's awesome @bnussey

Yeah I was also looking at Google's Exoplayer and we've been thinking of using that instead of MediaPlayer. Looks like a more advanced API and greater functionality. Will keep you all posted.

[lukeramsden]

@bnussey any updates to that?

[christian-kolb]

@bradmartin Is there a function to call to be able to trigger the same fullscreen mode that is triggered when the controls are shown? I looked through all links posted but they are all referring to android.

+1 any news? Would love to have videos in fullscreen :)

[c1ngular]

+1 , people really like to see a video in full screen :)

[bradmartin]

I have no time to work on this right now. If anyone wants to work on it to get a PR going and needs guidance I can chat from time to time but I'm too busy to put in the work to get the functionality working smoothly. If you absolutely need the fullscreen option in your NS app right now, the exoplayer plugin is a perfect solution.

Similar to @bnussey, I'm currently working on a fullscreen ability and basically open a nativescript angular modal window with a new video player in it. so far looks great (checked only on android emulator) Using Screen Orientation plugin to switch back a forth if required and the modal window automatically closes when back button pressed calls a callback function.

P.S if using this solution don't forget to 'freeze' the embedded player when opening the full screen one as you don't want it to keep using bandwidth in the background
