Easy solution.

Just use Iframe .

<iframe width="350" height="240" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This small addition to the Application level in the manifest does the trick:

android:hardwareAccelerated="true"

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.house"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

try to put "xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

and android:hardwareAccelerated="true" in your manifest

<activity android:name="Main_Webview" android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"></activity>

did you enable javascript in your webview? if not try this, here I am enabling javascript

WebView web=(WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.loadUrl("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvWy9NXiZZI");

This is the xml

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<android.webkit.WebView
    android:id="@+id/webView1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
</android.webkit.WebView>

Also there is an issue that the videos cannot be played in some devices due to limitted hardware resources.
