Hello,

Please change Android.Resource.Style.ThemeDeviceDefaultDialogNoActionBar to Android.Resource.Style.ThemeBlackNoTitleBarFullScreen in the ShowTheVideo method like following code.

VideoDialog customDialog = new VideoDialog(activity1, Android.Resource.Style.ThemeBlackNoTitleBarFullScreen);

Best Regards,
