I use android webview in my app for display video from youtube it's work well.
But i want it's auto play.
This is my activity i append "?autoplay=1" to videoUrl but nothing change it's still not auto play.
public class LandVideoAct extends Activity {
WebView mWebView;
String videoURL = "";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.landfull);
videoURL = "http://www.youtube.com/embed/VYIi49czywo?autoplay=1";
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.fullwebview);
String vid = "<html><body style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0\"><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" src=\""+videoURL+"\" type=\"text/html\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe><body><html>";
WebChromeClient mWebChromeClient = new WebChromeClient(){
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int newProgress) {
}
};
mWebView.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(mWebChromeClient);
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
mWebView.loadUrl("javascript:(function() { document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].play(); })()");
}
});
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);
mWebView.setInitialScale(1);
mWebView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 17) {
Log.i("GPSNETWORK", "<17");
} else {
Log.i("GPSNETWORK", Build.VERSION.SDK_INT+">=17");
mWebView.getSettings().setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture(false);
}
mWebView.loadData(vid, "text/html", "UTF-8");
}
}
To make an embedded video autoplay, add "&autoplay=1" to the video's embed code right after the video ID (the series of letters that follows "embed/"). Embedded videos that are autoplayed don't increment video views.
Tap “Settings” to configure the in-app settings. Tap on the second option in the list, the one labelled “Autoplay”. Tap “Autoplay”, it will be the second item in the settings list. To toggle autoplay on or off, simply tap the slider so the setting is disabled or enabled as preferred.
Mobile app (within Settings) To do so, tap your profile picture > Settings > Autoplay. Within the Autoplay menu, you can tap the Autoplay next video slider to enable or disable the function.
Open the YouTube app on a mobile device or computer. Go to the screen for any video. At the top of the video player, tap on the Autoplay and toggle from off to on or vice-versa.
Check out this question. There are a couple of suggestions that may work for you, however the person who asked that question didn't say if it worked for them or not.
Most of what I'm reading is saying that most mobile platforms block autoplay to avoid poor user experience.
You can try this javascript code below:
var myvideo = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0]; myvideo.play();
For Android 4.2.2+ try adding this in your native code:
WebView.getSettings().setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture(false);
Also check out this page. Which adds the code below to autoplay the video:
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
// autoplay when finished loading via javascript injection
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) { webview.loadUrl("javascript:(function() { document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].play(); })()"); }
});
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
webview.loadUrl("http://html5demos.com/video");
}
I think its not possible in webview or android browsers. To achieve auto playing, I think you need "YOUTUBE API".
Check below link :
1] There's no way method to do autoplay video on android platform?
2] Youtube Api android autostart
These above links will give you idea about auto playing as well as youtube api.
