incubator-cordova-android pull request: Play

[Steren <gi...@git.apache.org>]

GitHub user Steren opened a pull request:

    Play <video> tags from the Webview in a Fullscreen video player.

    Code from the Froyo Android Browser was adapted to support <video> elements in Cordova. The WebView creates a "CustomView" (a video player) that is displayed fullscreen.
    It uses API level 7, work has to be done to support lower version.
    
    Tested on Android 2.2: works
    Tested on Android 4.1: doesn't work. It seems videos are handled differently (without the use of "Custom views"). To make video playing work on Android 4, add the android:hardwareAccelerated="true" attribute to the main activity of the AndroidManifest.
