In my case, there was a problem displaying full screen ads.

So, the library is included in the project, and "pauseTimers ();" and "resumeTimers ();" in "AdvancedWebView.java" are disabled and used.

//copy this code after protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){....} private class myChrome extends WebChromeClient { private View mCustomeview; private WebChromeClient.CustomViewCallback mcustomViewCallback;

    private int mOrginalSystemVisiblity;

    myChrome() {

    }

    public Bitmap getDefaultVideoPoster() {
        if (mCustomeview == null) {
            return null;
        }

        return BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getApplicationContext().getResources(),2130837573);
    }

    public  void onHideCustomView()
    {
        ((FrameLayout)getWindow().getDecorView()).removeView(this.mCustomeview);
        this.mCustomeview=null;
        getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(this.mOrginalSystemVisiblity);
        setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
        this.mcustomViewCallback.onCustomViewHidden();
        this.mcustomViewCallback=null;
    }

    public  void onShowCustomView(View paramView,WebChromeClient.CustomViewCallback paraCustomeViewcallback)
    {
        if(this.mCustomeview !=null)
        {
            onHideCustomView();
            return;
        }
        this.mCustomeview=paramView;
        this.mOrginalSystemVisiblity=getWindow().getDecorView().getSystemUiVisibility();
        setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
        this.mcustomViewCallback=paraCustomeViewcallback;
        ((FrameLayout)getWindow().getDecorView()).addView(this.mCustomeview,new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(-1,-1));
        getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(3846);
    }

When fullscreen button clicked, chrome client gives us fullscreen view and then we should add it to our activity view :

Define this variable global to hold fullscreen view reference in our activity:

public class MyAmazingActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private View fullscreenView;
    //...
}

Then web chrome client will notify us about showing and hiding fullscreen view in onShowCustomView and onHideCustomView methods:

WebChromeClient webChromeClient = new WebChromeClient() {

            private ViewGroup rootView;
            private WebChromeClient.CustomViewCallback customViewCallback;

            @Override
            public void onShowCustomView(View view, CustomViewCallback callback) {

                //Destroy full screen view if already exists
                if (fullscreenView != null) {
                    callback.onCustomViewHidden();
                    return;
                }

                //Layout params to fit fullscreen view in our activity
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = 
                        new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                                ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
                //Catch root of current activity to add fullscreen view
                rootView = (ViewGroup) WebViewBaseActivity.this.webView.getRootView();

                //Store full screen view, we need it to destroy it out of scope
                fullscreenView = view;

                customViewCallback = callback;
                rootView.addView(fullscreenView, layoutParams);
            }

            @Override
            public void onHideCustomView() {
                //Make sure fullscreen view exists
                if (fullscreenView != null) {

                    //Remove fullscreen view from activity root view
                    rootView.removeView(fullscreenView);
                    fullscreenView = null;

                    //Tell browser we did remove fullscreen view
                    customViewCallback.onCustomViewHidden();
                }
            }

        };

And finally removing fullscreen view when back pressed(User expects this behaviour):

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    if (fullscreenView != null) {
        webChromeClient.onHideCustomView();
    }
}
