I have an application that I am writing for iOS and Android. I have a content page that I need to link / play .mp4 video to UIWebView / WebView. The video will be included in the application so that it can work offline.
In iOS, I just used the video tag (with the source for the project file), and then used NSNotifications for full-screen viewing and landscape of the video (the application usually works in portrait mode). Completion of the assignment.
I have problems on Android.
Firstly, when you use a local image as a video poster, it crashed the application (apparently, a known error - using a remote image solves the problem, although it does not help much for offline mode).
Secondly, he does not play. I tried both the remote and the local file (link to file: ///android_asset/html/video.mp4).
I tested .mp4 from an Android browser and it works well, so I know the video is fine.
I tried a different approach using the video link. I found an example at the following link (you need to use google cache to view it): http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:EVz7nwc8718J:www.codelark.com/2010/05/12/android-viewing-video -from-embedded-webview / + http: //www.codelark.com/2010/05/12/android-viewing-video-from-embedded-webview/&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk
My code is as follows:
webengine = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); webengine.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webengine.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true); webengine.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true); webengine.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() { public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent, String contentDisposition, String mimeType, long size) { Intent viewIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); viewIntent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(url), mimeType); try { startActivity(viewIntent); } catch (ActivityNotFoundException ex) { Log.w("sta", "Couldn't find activity to view mimetype: " + mimeType); } } }); webengine.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/html/index.html");
Using remote video calling, she tries to open the Android browser and then returns the application. With local video, it seems to load the player, but I get "Can't play the video." Sorry, this video cannot be played.
This is my logcat log:

I also tried the approach described above in shouldOverrideUrlLoading, which has the same result.
thanks
