Here is the fix for you. You have to update your controls margin dynamically by code. Idea is that add one overlay with controls in your layout file. and when navigation bar is visible update your controls bottom margin to push them up in screen. Rest code explains it worked for me.
Layout File : video_player_activity.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<VideoView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:id="@+id/videoView"/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/text" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Video Controls" android:textStyle="bold" android:textSize="40sp"
android:textColor="#FFF"
android:background="#444444"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
<View android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/overlay"/>
</RelativeLayout>
