I'm hoping someone can set the record straight for me. I know there are several posts about this issue, but I'm still unclear about this.
I want my application to show an image of a page out of a book, and inside that image I want to play a youtube video. Apparently, I"m supposed to use a WebView for this.
WebView mWebView = new WebView(this);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
setContentView(mWebView);
String Play = "<iframe width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com /embed/VCDOjdYhj1Y\" frameborder=\"10\"</iframe>";
mWebView.loadData(Play, "text/html", "utf-8");
}
private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
When I do this, the video looks okay but the sound is lagging. It's very noticeable if someone is talking because the words don't match their lips. From what I understand, WebView really isn't meant for showing video even though it's supported. It's simply a way of showing a web page inside of the app with preferably no user interaction. If you want video and web pages, you're supposed to launch the browser with an Intent. I don't want to do this. I can't use a VideoView because I'm not pointing directly to a video file.
So is that it? Am I out of options? You'd think Youtube and Android would be very compatible since their both Google. Embedding a youtube video in an HTML View works really well in iPhone apps. I hope someone can give me the final word on this. Thanks!
