Youtube inside webview in android application

Question

after reading diffrent examples i allmost rech to the wanted result

the code :

WebView myWebView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
String strHTMLTags = "<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/MwdUyxyRwc8?autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"1\" mozallowfullscreen=\"1\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"1\"></iframe>";

myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
myWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {});     
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

myWebView.loadData(strHTMLTags, "text/html", "utf-8");

this will make the code works great beside the auto start .

if i add this code before "loadData" :

webSettings.setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/13.0.766.0 Safari/534.36");
        webSettings.setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);
        webSettings.setAllowFileAccess(true);

this code works with autostart but something with the resolution is not right and the video not looking as he should .

what exactly setUserAgentString does and how can i make him work with autostart .

i try another way :

public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {

    int cursorXPos = (int) (view.getX() + view.getWidth()/2);
    int cursorYPos = (int) (view.getX() + view.getHeight()/2);
    int cursorXPos = CENTER_OF_SCREEN_X_POS;
    int cursorYPos = CENTER_OF_SCREEN_Y_POS;
    mInstrumentation.sendPointerSync(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(),
            SystemClock.uptimeMillis(),MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN, cursorXPos,
            cursorYPos, 0));

    mInstrumentation.sendPointerSync(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(),
            SystemClock.uptimeMillis(),MotionEvent.ACTION_UP, cursorXPos,
            cursorYPos, 0));
}

});

and get error :

Check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3405242/how-can-i-autoplay-a-video-using-the-new-embed-code-style-for-youtube If this doesn't work try the Instrumentation class of Android and induce a touch event when the page is loaded — Sagar Waghmare, May 03 '13 at 17:47
Did you check the 2nd option, of using the Instrumentation class. I have done the same thing to make the autoplay work. — Sagar Waghmare, May 04 '13 at 19:35

import android.app.Instrumentation;
...

private Instrumentation mInstrumentation;
....

public void onCreate(...) {

    ...
    mInstrumentation = new Instrumentation();
    ....
}

// When the page is ready.
final int cursorXPos = CENTER_OF_SCREEN_X_POS;
final int cursorYPos = CENTER_OF_SCREEN_Y_POS;
new Thread() {
    public void run() {
        mInstrumentation.sendPointerSync(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(),
                            SystemClock.uptimeMillis(),MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN, cursorXPos,
                            cursorYPos, 0));

       mInstrumentation.sendPointerSync(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(),
                            SystemClock.uptimeMillis(),MotionEvent.ACTION_UP, cursorXPos,
