Iframe video on Android Hybrid App with Phonegap

Question

I embedded a youtube video on my index.html file.

<iframe id="video" width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxxxx?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

• I created the app via cmd with Cordova Phonegap like this:

   cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
  

• Replaced my html,css, js files in the app folder.

• Added android platform:

   cordova platform add android
  

• Opened Eclipse, imported the app, and run it.

• I put the .apk on my tablet and everythings works fine, but the video doesn't work.

  I get the error "Web page not avaiable" instead of the video.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Solved.

I simply added http: in link on the src attribute.

<iframe id="video" width="640" height="360" src="HTTP://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxxxx?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Answer 2

You should probably white list youtube.
