NullPointerException when entering video in full screen webview nokia x

Question

Hi I am searching the workaround for this problem from past two days but still I have not get any solution. In webview I am playing YouTube video the video works fine when I click on it but if I click on Full Screen icon the app crash with the below errors. I tried overriding onShowCustomeView in WebCromeClient but it does not works. I tried all solutions from WebView and HTML5 <video> thread.The solutions works for android phone I tested it on Lg g2 and xperia p and nexus 7 but on nokia x it still crash. Is there any way I can stop video from playing full screen or playing at all.

overriding that method to return a non-null View object (for instance, a bogus 0x0 View in your layout) and see if you still crash.we can try to stop video from enter full screen if it crash again — Sree, Apr 04 '14 at 06:16
@Sreekanthss You are absolutely genius. Just work on nokia x thank you so much!! I override the method as `@Override public View getVideoLoadingProgressView() { FrameLayout frameLayout = new FrameLayout(getSherlockActivity()); frameLayout.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams( LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT)); return frameLayout; }` Now video plays in full screen with out any problem. — Sunny, Apr 04 '14 at 06:52

Look this

overriding that method to return a non-null View object (for instance, a bogus 0x0 View in your layout) and see if you still crash

         @Override
         public View getVideoLoadingProgressView() { 
           FrameLayout frameLayout = new FrameLayout(getSherlockActivity());    
           frameLayout.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams( LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,    
          LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
           return frameLayout;
         }
