You can do it using FullscreenVideoView class. Its a small library project. It's video progress dialog is build in. it's gradle is :

compile 'com.github.rtoshiro.fullscreenvideoview:fullscreenvideoview:1.1.0'

In your activity , initialize it using this way:

    FullscreenVideoLayout videoLayout;

videoLayout = (FullscreenVideoLayout) findViewById(R.id.videoview);
        videoLayout.setActivity(this);

        Uri videoUri = Uri.parse("YOUR_VIDEO_URL");
        try {
            videoLayout.setVideoURI(videoUri);

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

That's it. Happy coding :)
