Playing multiple video simultaneously in HTML video tag in WebView

Question

I created a simple HTML page with multiple video tag & trying to play all video simultaneously on native WebView of Android 4.2.2. However it is working on Chrome browser of Android 4.2.2. also tried to chrome-webview bundle from GitHub in my application to use android-chrome WebView class object instead of native webkit-engine/webview. It display player on HTML page but any of video doesn't get played.

I do not understand why this is happen because i have even tried chrome-webview code and get same result, please suggest me some solution or alternative for same.

I can share my HTML code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script>
    function init() {
      enableVideoClicks();
    }

    function enableVideoClicks() {
      var videos = document.getElementsByTagName('video') || [];
      for (var i = 0; i < videos.length; i++) {
        // TODO: use attachEvent in IE
        videos[i].addEventListener('click', function(videoNode) {
          return function() {
            videoNode.play();
          };
        }(videos[i]));
      }
    }
  </script>
</head>
<body onload="init()">


  <video src="movie1.mp4" poster = "l.jpg" width="400" height="300" autoplay controls loop></video>
  <video src="movie2.mp4" poster = "l.jpg" width="400" height="300" autoplay controls loop></video>
  <video src="movie3.mp4" poster = "l.jpg" width="400" height="300" autoplay controls loop></video>

I faced this issue and could not solve it. After some time, the requirements changed and I never came back on it. Here is a link to my question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19031908/unable-to-play-video-using-webview — Plinio.Santos, Jul 16 '14 at 16:03
