I want to load youtube video to Android webview using iframe
here is my layout Xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@android:color/white"
android:id="@+id/mainLayout">
<WebView
android:background="@android:color/white"
android:id="@+id/webView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
My code is:
public class WebTube extends Activity {
private WebView wv;
String html = "<iframe class=\"youtube-player\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 95%; padding:0px; margin:0px\" id=\"ytplayer\" type=\"text/html\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/WBYnk3zR0os"
+ "?fs=0\" frameborder=\"0\">\n"
+ "</iframe>";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
wv = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wv.loadDataWithBaseURL("", html , "text/html", "UTF-8", "");
}
}
Also I provide <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
& android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
when I run this I didn't get any result its just showing a black screen
I tried this .but this provide me video on .3gp Quality
. but I need the videos from youtube on original quality. That's why I am using iframe
.
I try code using <object></object>
and <video></video>
instead of iframe
. but it didn't solve my issue.
when I run this code on emulator it shows
Before Pressing Play Button
After Pressing Play button on video
I think we cannot stream videos on emulator since it is a virtual device
But when I run this on phone it's not even showing this result.
I try iframe with a document attach to it works fine on phone as well as emulator
String customHtml = "<iframe src='http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.iasted.org/conferences/formatting/presentations-tips.ppt&embedded=true' width='100%' height='100%' style='border: none;'></iframe>";
So please help me to load videos to this frame.
(I run it on phone). What's the problem? also will iframe work on Android 2.1?
did any one tried Youtube Api ?

It's working properly
My Java file
String path="<iframe src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/94zICkZLQpY' width='100%' height='100%' style='border: none;'></iframe>";
webView.loadData(path,"text/html","utf-8");
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
Here 94zICkZLQpY is the embedded code you will get in any youtube video My normal youtube video link which is watchable is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94zICkZLQpY&feature=youtu.be

Try this its working fine..
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web);
String videoURL = "https://www.youtube.com/embed/R52bof3tvZs";
String vid = "<html><body style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0\"><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" src=\""+videoURL+"\" type=\"text/html\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe><body><html>";
WebChromeClient mWebChromeClient = new WebChromeClient(){
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int newProgress) {
}
};
mWebView.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(mWebChromeClient);
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
mWebView.loadUrl("javascript:(function() { document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].play(); })()");
}
});
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);
mWebView.setInitialScale(1);
mWebView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 17) {
Log.i("GPSNETWORK", "<17");
} else {
Log.i("GPSNETWORK", Build.VERSION.SDK_INT+">=17");
mWebView.getSettings().setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture(false);
}
String myUrl = "<html><body style='margin:0px;padding:0px;'>\n" +
" <script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.youtube.com/iframe_api'></script><script type='text/javascript'>\n" +
" var player;\n" +
" function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady()\n" +
" {player=new YT.Player('playerId',{events:{onReady:onPlayerReady}})}\n" +
" function onPlayerReady(event){player.mute();player.setVolume(0);player.playVideo();}\n" +
" </script>\n" +
" <iframe id='playerId' type='text/html' width='1280' height='720'\n" +
" src=\""+videoURL+"\"?enablejsapi=1&rel=0&playsinline=1&autoplay=1&showinfo=0&autohide=1&controls=0&modestbranding=1' frameborder='0'>\n" +
" </body></html>";
mWebView.loadData(""+Html.fromHtml(myUrl), "text/html", "UTF-8");

This worked for me:
WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
String frameVideo = "<html><body>Youtube video .. <br> <iframe width=\"320\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe></body></html>";
mWebView.loadData(frameVideo, "text/html", "utf-8");
mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.youtube.com/");
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

Using WebChromeClient allows you to handle Javascript dialogs, favicons, titles, and the progress:
wv = setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());

You can visit my question again. Iv'e created a function that gives you all of the youtube video's direct links (including hq links). Now you can use mp4 and so instead of the poor 3gp.

As stated in the android Webview documentation,
HTML5 Video support
In order to support inline HTML5 video in your application, you need to have hardware acceleration turned on, and set a WebChromeClient.
For full screen support, implementations of onShowCustomView(View, WebChromeClient.CustomViewCallback) and onHideCustomView() are required, getVideoLoadingProgressView() is optional.

It's not exactly a direct answer to your question, but I believe you might want to use the newly released Android Youtube API. It should allow adding youtube video playback into your apps, so you don't have to inject them into a webview in an iFrame.. That's just silly, and not all Android devices will have Flash installed :)

I'm no expert in Android webview, but I encountered similar problems with web page.
What I had to do was to use tag and made sure it had onclick="this.play(); in the tag. The onclick event was specifically for Android. Chrome, Safari, Firefox didn't need it.
For example:
<video id="video" width="320" height="240" autobuffer controls onclick="this.play();">
Without the onclick, Android browser would not work. Since webview is calling the browser, I suspect it's the same.
And make sure in the source tag you do NOT use codec attribute.
Hope this helps you.
