[jira] [Created] (CB-238) Unable to Play Youtube or Vimeo Videos in
Android App
Unable to Play Youtube or Vimeo Videos in Android App
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: CB-238
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-238
Project: Apache Callback
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android
Affects Versions: 1.4.0
Environment: Mac OS X 10.6.8
Eclipse SDK, Version: 3.7.0, Build id: I20110613-1736
Android 2.2
Reporter: Adam Arsenault
Assignee: Joe Bowser
I am trying to play a video in my app using the Youtube or Vimeo iframe embed code. The video thumbnail appears and I can click play, but the video never actually plays in the simulator. The exact same code works in the Android browser, but as soon as I embed the code into phonegap, the videos do not play.
I have done a bunch of searching around the web and it seems like this is a common problem. Do I have to enable anything special to make this work. It also works great in iOS...

Simon MacDonald closed CB-238.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
This is an Android issue where videos won't play in the WebView component so I'm closing it until Google does something for us.

[jira] [Commented] (CB-238) Unable to Play Youtube or Vimeo Videos

------------------------------------
Indeed, the Android 2.x Webview cannot play videos. But it can be customized to do so. This is what is done on Android's browser.
The Webview calls "onShowCustomView" giving it a video player View that needs to be displayed by the application outside the Webview.
I worked on this issue and created a version of cordova for Android that can play videos. You can try a working version in our branch: https://github.com/joshfire/incubator-cordova-android
I created a Pull Request on github: https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-android/pull/43

[~steren] I need you to sign the CLA before we can pull in your changes. I've tested them on a number of Android OS versions and they look good.

If you are using the html5 video tag I've talked about the issue many times on this list. I even built a work around while we wait for Google to fix.
Star these issues:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10526

Grab my work around:

I'm going to close this issue for now as it is an Android problem we can't do much about.
