After 2 days, looking for a lite way to do it, here is, for me, the best and simpliest solution :

public CustomViewCallback mCustomViewCallback;

@Override
public void onShowCustomView(View view, CustomViewCallback callback) {
    super.onShowCustomView(view, callback);
    if (view instanceof FrameLayout) {
        FrameLayout customViewContainer = (FrameLayout) view;
        mCustomViewCallback = callback;
        if (customViewContainer.getFocusedChild() instanceof VideoView) {
            VideoView customVideoView = (VideoView) customViewContainer.getFocusedChild();
            try {
                Field mUriField = VideoView.class.getDeclaredField("mUri");
                mUriField.setAccessible(true);
                Uri uri = (Uri) mUriField.get(customVideoView);
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                intent.setDataAndType(uri, "video/*");
                mActivity.startActivity(intent);
                new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        mCustomViewCallback.onCustomViewHidden();
                    }
                });
            } catch (Exception e) {
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope this help...
