Get the video tag working on Android
So, I finally had a chance to go back and fix the remaining issues
with getting the video tag to work in Android 2.x and 3.x. If we merge
this code:
https://github.com/macdonst/cordova-android/commit/a3a215a1bad456145a0c0a728fae5df0178067e8
When you encounter a video tag on Android 2/3 you will be able to
click on the video and it will play in a custom view as a full screen
video. Still can't do inline video but this gets around the need to
write Android specific code to play a video using the VideoPlayer
plugin. Android 4.x users will just be able to play the video in line.
If there are no objections I'll check this in for Cordova 2.2.0rc2.
Comments?

Finally, where are the icons coming from for the controls on the page?
I didn't see any assets pulled down.

Yeah, it's not perfect but it is an improvement over where we are today.
The controls come right from the web view. I don't add any resources to the
project.

OK, I got it working on the Nexus 7 and the Nexus S. Since I flashed
my Galaxy Nexus to CyanogenMod for Big Android BBQ I'm noticing that
Cyanogen shits the bed when it comes to HTML5 video. :(
Also, I noticed that multiple sources aren't supported and cause the
app to break. I was testing against this page:

Yeah, sorry. It'll play from http or off the sdcard but not out of assets
yet. That is a special case that needs to be worked on.

This tag works quite well:
<video controls>
<source src="

</source> />
</video>
and I whitelisted the video domain.

Hey
I'm not seeing this working. Do you have the page that you used to
test? Is there anything that I should know? (i.e. not to put video in
