3,543 PointsHTML5 video won't go fullscreen in WebView.
Hello Treehouse Forum!
I'm developing an Treehouse app for Android devices. Although this isn't a native Android app, it still works pretty well considering the only thing it actually do is displaying the Treehouse website in a WebView, with some different navigation buttons as well.
Now for my question.
When you enter a video, the playback starts as it should, but the toggle for fullscreen in the player itself doesn't seem to work. Nothing happens when you press it. It's almost like it's disabled. So do you know how to enter fullscreen mode with an HTML5 video? Or can you launch the default video player maybe and play it from there?
Any answer or hint would be appreciated :)

Treehouse TeacherSorry for the late reply--I haven't worked on anything myself like this lately so I don't have any personal recommendations. There's a StackOverflow answer that might be of help. Do let us know when you have something to share! :)
P.S. Love that screenshot!
