title: Play video in full screen on Android with native video player
body: <p>I am trying to design a video website compatible with Android. A good example of what I'm trying to achieve is <a href="http://vimeo.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">vimeo.com</a>. They show a thumbnail of a video. When you tap it, the native Android player comes up in full screen:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/iwUHD.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>Currently, I have an anchor to an FLV containing an h.264 encoded video:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="video.flv"&gt;click here to watch&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When you tap the anchor on Android, it downloads the video rather than plays it. That's not what I want. How do I get it to play full screen in the native player like Vimeo? But unlike Vimeo, I would like the video to expand so that there's not so much black empty space around the actual video.</p>
