Seeking forward in YouTube HTML5 video over Android WebView
For future viewers
YouTube now has a player API:https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/
Where you can easily place a view in the xml and handle it in activity, here are the examples:https://github.com/youtube/yt-android-player
If anybody wants to use WebView yet to play youtube videos, two considerations:
- Depending on Android version, it can't be possible. Android version 4.x through
WebViewcan't do that (or i didn't find the way :) As I postedhere - If you are in Android 5 or upper, you have to set the
WebChromeClientto theWebViewcomponent:setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
Hope it helps!
Try This One:
wv.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true); DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics(); getActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics); int w1 = (int) (metrics.widthPixels / metrics.density), h1 = w1 * 3 / 5; String item="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3FFyT039tJ0"; wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); wv.setWebChromeClient(chromeClient); wv.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true); try { wv.loadData( "<html><body><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text/html5\" width=\"" + (w1 - 20) + "\" height=\"" + h1 + "\" src=\"" + item + "\" frameborder=\"0\"\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></body></html>", "text/html5", "utf-8"); } catch (Exception e) { // TODO: handle exception e.printStackTrace(); }}And write a webchrome client like this:
private WebChromeClient chromeClient = new WebChromeClient() { @Override public void onShowCustomView(View view, CustomViewCallback callback) { super.onShowCustomView(view, callback); if (view instanceof FrameLayout) { FrameLayout frame = (FrameLayout) view; if (frame.getFocusedChild() instanceof VideoView) { VideoView video = (VideoView) frame.getFocusedChild(); frame.removeView(video); video.start(); } } }};
