Loading Youtube video through iframe in Android webview

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.


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());

I have full customized ifram for youtube view 

public class Act_VideoPlayer extends Activity {

    WebView webView;
    ProgressBar progressBar;
    ImageView back_btn;

    String video_url = "KK9bwTlAvgo", html = "";


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.full_screen_youtube_video_screen);

        setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

        back_btn = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.full_videoview_btn);
            back_btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    webView.loadData("", "text/html", "UTF-8");
                    finish();
                }
            });

            webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
               progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);

            if (video_url.equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
                finish();
                return;
            }

            WebSettings ws = webView.getSettings();
            ws.setLayoutAlgorithm(WebSettings.LayoutAlgorithm.SINGLE_COLUMN);
            ws.setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);
            ws.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
            webView.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
            webView.reload();

            if (networkUtil.isConnectingToInternet(Act_VideoPlayer.this)) {
                html = getHTML(video_url);
            } else {
                html = "" + getResources().getString(R.string.The_internet_connection_appears_to_be_offline);
                CustomToast.animRedTextMethod(Act_VideoPlayer.this, getResources().getString(R.string.The_internet_connection_appears_to_be_offline));
            }

            webView.loadData(html, "text/html", "UTF-8");

            WebClientClass webViewClient = new WebClientClass(progressBar);
            webView.setWebViewClient(webViewClient);
            WebChromeClient webChromeClient = new WebChromeClient();
            webView.setWebChromeClient(webChromeClient);
    }




    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        try {
            webView.loadData("", "text/html", "UTF-8");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        super.onBackPressed();
        try {
            webView.loadData("", "text/html", "UTF-8");
            finish();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }


    public class WebClientClass extends WebViewClient {
        ProgressBar ProgressBar = null;

        WebClientClass(ProgressBar progressBar) {
            ProgressBar = progressBar;
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
            ProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);
            ProgressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            LogShowHide.LogShowHideMethod("webview-click :", "" + url.toString());
            view.loadUrl(getHTML(video_url));
            return true;
        }
    }

    public String getHTML(String videoId) {
        String html = "<iframe class=\"youtube-player\" " + "style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 96%;"
                + "padding:0px; margin:0px\" " + "id=\"ytplayer\" type=\"text/html\" "
                + "src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/" + videoId
                + "?&theme=dark&autohide=2&modestbranding=1&showinfo=0&autoplay=1\fs=0\" frameborder=\"0\" "
                + "allowfullscreen autobuffer " + "controls onclick=\"this.play()\">\n" + "</iframe>\n";
        LogShowHide.LogShowHideMethod("video-id from html url= ", "" + html);
        return html;
    }

}
