Hi i am trying to embed an youtube video in android. This is what shows up on screen -https://i.sstatic.net/rpjWS.jpg
This is my code for webview
<img src="illustration.jpg" /> <video src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvWy9NXiZZI" width="320" height="240" autobuffer controls onclick="this.play();"/> The image shows up fine but the video below the image doesn't show up , neither does it play when i click on it.
Can any body please help me out?
This small addition to the Application level in the manifest does the trick:
android:hardwareAccelerated="true" Easy solution.
Just use Iframe .
<iframe width="350" height="240" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> did you enable javascript in your webview? if not try this, here I am enabling javascript
WebView web=(WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1); web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); web.loadUrl("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvWy9NXiZZI"); This is the xml
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <android.webkit.WebView android:id="@+id/webView1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > </android.webkit.WebView> Also there is an issue that the videos cannot be played in some devices due to limitted hardware resources.
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.house" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"> try to put "xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
and android:hardwareAccelerated="true" in your manifest
<activity android:name="Main_Webview" android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"></activity>
