How to detect if user clicked Done in a video in iOS

Question

When watching videos on iOS fullscreen and clicking 'Done' in my video I go back to the page to a smaller state of the video but I want to trigger a function.

I've tried

myPlayer.on('ended', function() { }); 

myPlayer.addEventListener('ended', function(){ });

However, these detect if the video is ended and not when the user clicks 'Done' in the middle of the video.

Is there a method that can detect if the video leaves the fullscreen state?

While I never tested media events on iOS, I believe that done is a sort of pause. So you can check if that events triggers combined with the currentTime value. — Ofir Baruch

You could have a look at this using JQuery, It will detect if a video has come from fullscreen

// Entering fullscreen mode
$('video').bind('webkitfullscreenchange mozfullscreenchange fullscreenchange', function(e) {
    var state = document.fullScreen || document.mozFullScreen || document.webkitIsFullScreen;
    var event = state ? 'FullScreen' : 'NotFullScreen';

    // Now do something interesting
    if (event == 'NotFullScreen')
    {
        hideVideo();
    }
});

function hideVideo() 
{

  // You could also try this $('video').hide();
  $('video').toggle();
}
