Please read the doc and have a look at the sample app. The fullscreen video plays in a separate view.

[chiragtalaviya]

I have already implemented it.

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

I suggest looking at the sample app, and copy the code from there.

Please share a snippet of how you're handling fullscreen.

[chiragtalaviya]

lifecycle.addObserver(binding.youtubePlayerView)

val iFramePlayerOptions: IFramePlayerOptions = IFramePlayerOptions.Builder()
    .controls(1)
    .fullscreen(1)
    .build()

binding.youtubePlayerView.initialize(object : AbstractYouTubePlayerListener() {
    override fun onReady(youTubePlayer: YouTubePlayer) {
        this@FullScreenVideoActivity.youTubePlayer = youTubePlayer
        youTubePlayer.loadVideo(Utils.extractYTId(videoLink), 0f)
    }
}, true, iFramePlayerOptions)

binding.youtubePlayerView.addFullscreenListener(object : FullscreenListener {
    override fun onEnterFullscreen(fullscreenView: View, exitFullscreen: Function0<Unit>) {
        isFullscreen = true

        binding.youtubePlayerView.visibility = View.GONE
        binding.fullScreenViewContainer.visibility = View.VISIBLE
        binding.fullScreenViewContainer.addView(fullscreenView)

        requestedOrientation = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
    }

    override fun onExitFullscreen() {
        isFullscreen = false

        // the video will continue playing in the player
        binding.youtubePlayerView.visibility = View.VISIBLE
        binding.fullScreenViewContainer.visibility = View.GONE
        binding.fullScreenViewContainer.removeAllViews()

        requestedOrientation = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
    }
})

What about your layout file?

Here it is

Does the fullscreen example work when you run directly the sample app?

[chiragtalaviya]

yes, even my player is working fine in other tablets but in Samsung tablet it showing black screen.

[Naguchennai]

Yes also having same issue some time black screen only ..video not playing

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

So does the sample app work in your Samsung tablet?

It could be that that specific table has a modified version of Webview.

[Naguchennai]

i have issue with samsung s22 mobile

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

Have you tried running the sample app?

[chiragtalaviya]

Actually I don't have that tablet. This issue is reported by user.

[Naguchennai]

i think i missed

   @Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    youTubePlayerView.release();
}
