fullscreen Videoplayer with self hiding controls
<p>I want to add a video player feature in my app to play MP4 files from my server and maybe also videos hosted on Youtube.</p>

<p>Videos would be played in fullscreen mode only, with controls on overlay (like the Youtube app), and also gestures.</p>

<p>I referred to an example from Android documentation and found exactly what I need the Video Player example (Views/System UI Visibility/Video Player). Unfortunately it uses the ActionBar and new SYSTEM_UI flags to hide+fullscreen and show controls and manage action bar transparency.</p>

<p>I want my app compatible with Gingerbread systems so I can't start from this example.</p>

<p>Do you know how I can simulate the Video Player UI style of the example (or the ICS Youtube app which is the same)?</p>

<p>Is it as "simple" as stacking views over a videoView?</p>
