whether you want to keep the aspect ratio of a video or stretch it to fill its parent area  using the right layout manager can get the job done   Keep the aspect ratio      lt LinearLayout   xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android    android orientation  horizontal    android layout width  fill parent    android layout height  fill parent  gt    lt VideoView   android id    id videoView    android layout width  fill parent    android layout height  fill parent    android layout gravity  center   gt    lt  LinearLayout gt        To fill in the field     lt RelativeLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android layout width  fill parent      android layout height  fill parent  gt        lt VideoView android id    id videoViewRelative           android layout alignParentTop  true           android layout alignParentBottom  true           android layout alignParentLeft  true           android layout alignParentRight  true           android layout width  fill parent           android layout height  fill parent  gt       lt  VideoView gt    lt  RelativeLayout gt

The below code worked       getWindow   addFlags WindowManager LayoutParams FLAG FULLSCREEN     Add this code before calling videoView start    With this the video activity runs in full screen mode in most of the cases  But if the title bar is still displayed then change your theme in your manifest to this       android theme   style Theme AppCompat NoActionBar  gt

I achieved it by switching to landscape orientation and setting layout params to MATCH PARENT  Just before switching to fullscreen mode  we need to store current orientation mode and VideoView params indefaultScreenOrientationMode and defaultVideoViewParams variables correspondingly  So that we can use them when we exit from video fullscreen mode  Thus  when you want to open video in fullscreen mode  use makeVideoFullScreen   method  to exit - exitVideoFullScreen     Please  note I used RelativeLayout for my VideoView  in your case it can be another layout type   private RelativeLayout LayoutParams defaultVideoViewParams  private int defaultScreenOrientationMode      play video in fullscreen mode private void makeVideoFullScreen          defaultScreenOrientationMode   getResources   getConfiguration   orientation      defaultVideoViewParams    LayoutParams  videoView getLayoutParams         setRequestedOrientation ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION LANDSCAPE        videoView postDelayed new Runnable               Override         public void run                 RelativeLayout LayoutParams params    RelativeLayout LayoutParams  new RelativeLayout LayoutParams                      RelativeLayout LayoutParams MATCH PARENT                      RelativeLayout LayoutParams MATCH PARENT                videoView setLayoutParams params               videoView layout 10  10  10  10                    700          close fullscreen mode private void exitVideoFullScreen         setRequestedOrientation defaultScreenOrientationMode       setRequestedOrientation ActivityInfo SCREEN ORIENTATION UNSPECIFIED        videoView postDelayed new Runnable               Override         public void run                 videoView setLayoutParams defaultVideoViewParams               videoView layout 10  10  10  10                    700

you can achieve it by creating two separate activity  Suppose first activity is halfScreen activity  In this activity your video view having small size   On button click of full screen video start another activity  fullScreen activity   In second activity the video view should be match parent to the parent layout you can also start video in full screen from where it is paused in half screen In my code i have implemented that Also you can resume the video in half screen on the back press of fullscreen activity  This is work for me Hope it will work for you also   Here is the code half xml

First Method  when you want to open a video in full screen  for that Activity you have to set the theme attribute in the Manifest  set this value that is  android theme   android style Theme NoTitleBar Fullscreen    change theme programmatically here  Second Method   create another fullscreen xml like below and setContentView R layout fullscreen  on click of the button   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt RelativeLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android layout width  fill parent      android layout height  fill parent   gt        lt VideoView android id    id myvideoview          android layout width  fill parent          android layout alignParentRight  true          android layout alignParentLeft  true          android layout alignParentTop  true          android layout alignParentBottom  true          android layout height  fill parent  gt       lt  VideoView gt    lt  RelativeLayout gt
