Playing embedded YouTube Videos

Question

I have a WebView app that includes embedded YouTube videos on a page. But when I go to that page, it gives me an error with a whole bunch of text. I have searched the internet for the past week but with no luck. Can somebody please help me? P.S. I am new to Android, so snippets would REALLY help :)

Here's the error:

vp.events.addOnDOMLoadHandler(function()
{vp.website.createVideoPlayer('mediaPlayer_cff30e24_42e1_4eb6
'http://youtube.com/v/XXXX', 569, 485, false);});
You need Flash Player in order to view this.

First: Check if that video works proper on a browser. Then check on the app. Second: Please paste the errors — Wesley, May 17 '12 at 17:07

Check if the Adobe Flash Player on your phone is indeed working properly.

well from CommonsWare

You cannot show them embedded except perhaps on devices that have Flash.

here is the link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2292459/1084764

however you can override the urlLoading on your webviewclient

I suggest you reading the whole post : play youtube video in WebView
