Answer 1

You can use this for BackButton:

closeButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonClose);
    closeButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            Log.d("VideoPreview", "onClick Close Button");
            VideoFullscreenActivity.super.onBackPressed();
        }
    });

Here's some snippets from my working app:

in player activity:

decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
            View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);

your player_layout.xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/video_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/black"
android:keepScreenOn="true"
android:orientation="vertical">

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/main_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#000000"
    tools:context=".PlayerActivity">

   <VideoView
     android:id="@+id/videoView"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:layout_gravity="center"/>

</FrameLayout>


</RelativeLayout>

values/styles.xml:

<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

At Last, I solve it with Kristo1990 and prashantwosti 's help My code is :

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
                RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT
        );
private void enterFullScreen(){
        this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);//设置横屏
        mVideoView.setSystemUiVisibility(
                View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                        | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                        | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
                        | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                        | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
                        | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);
        layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
        layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP);
        layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);
        layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);
        mVideoView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
    }

private void exitFullScreen(){
          this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
            mVideoView.setSystemUiVisibility(0);
            isFullScreen = false;
            mFullScreen.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
                layoutParams.removeRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
                layoutParams.removeRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP);
                layoutParams.removeRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);
                layoutParams.removeRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);
            }else {
                layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM,0);
                layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP,0);
                layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT,0);
                layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT,0);
            }
            mFullScreen.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

            mVideoView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
        }

And at last I override the KEYCODE_BACK to exit fullscreen I hope it can help you all and thank you again.

Try this on your landscape mode.

<VideoView android:id="@+id/video"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
   android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
   android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
   android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    />

Hide virtual buttons add this code:

getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);

Original size

         DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();  getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
         android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = (android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams) videoView.getLayoutParams();
         params.width =  (int) (300*metrics.density);
         params.height = (int) (250*metrics.density);
         params.leftMargin = 30;
         videoView.setLayoutParams(params);

full screen size

         DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics(); getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
         android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = (android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams) videoView.getLayoutParams();
         params.width =  metrics.widthPixels;
         params.height = metrics.heightPixels;
         params.leftMargin = 0;
         videoView.setLayoutParams(params);
