Allow video players in Android WebView to maximize from Widget mode

[mschneider]

Resolving #423 and possibly #279 (I only tested with a mp4 file)

@charafau could you review this PR? Should I also create a patch for the main plugins repo?

[charafau]

@mschneider thanks for your PR ! For some reason I cannot see updates for repo in github and I'm busy with official webview.

Do you have any example where I can test that changes?

[mschneider]

Hi Rafal, I replaced the target URL of the Webview from flutter.io with http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4 and built the example app for Android (&ios). When opening the webview as a widget the previously grayed out fullscreen button is now active and can be touched to trigger fullscreen playback. The back button correctly closes the fullscreen view again. Best, Max

@mschneider I needed to revert the changes because of bug I've found:

1. open the link with video
2. press fullscreen
3. click back (it comes back to normal view on webview)
4. click back again to close webview
5. it closes whole flutter app <--- should just go back to previous screen

[mschneider]

Confirmed, I started to look into it: seems like the back event is handled directly by flutter and not the native UI.

I'm currently working on a client's project that is not concerned by this issue. I'll prepare a working version at the earliest possible time (possibly only after the launch in early September)

[charafau]

got it. thanks!

[canewsin]

@jackhax

You can use this, based on latest stable.

  flutter_webview_plugin:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/canewsin/flutter_webview_plugin
      ref: fullscreen-support

[Sarthaktydy]

Is this working or any issues are there?

I tried @canewsin's fix and it does enable fullscreen, but I had to mash the fullscreen button many times before it opens. Tried with several Android devices, same behavior. I used an embedded YouTube video.
