You tube video not playing

Question

I am trying to call you tube from my web view which is associated with a view stub. The problem is I am able to load the you tube but if I click on the play button of you tube, it is not playing

Here is what I am trying to do

webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);

WebSettings webSet = webView.getSettings();

webSet.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

// setContentView(webView);

webView.loadUrl("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaIPQMVMRqU&feature=related");

is your android phone support flash? – Yeo Aug 25 '11 at 11:47 — Yeo, Aug 25 '11 at 11:47

Look at this: Android YouTube app Play Video Intent

Apparently on emulator this doesn't work but on device it works. Were you running it only on the emulator?

Your code should work, try it on a real device.

You should better use the url you get in share section of youtube than the one you use: http://youtu.be/QaIPQMVMRqU

I am running on the device only. – thejaswi Aug 25 '11 at 11:51
is there an interesting thing in logcat? – GrandMarquis Aug 25 '11 at 11:53
when browsing youtube site from the webexplorer, does playing the video works? – GrandMarquis Aug 25 '11 at 11:54
yeah in that case it works, no i din't find anything special in log cat. – thejaswi Aug 25 '11 at 12:10
I tried it on my device it works fine. Can't help you much more.. =( – GrandMarquis Aug 25 '11 at 12:16
yeah now it is working for me also,one doubt I have at this point. Is it possible to call a onClicklistener for webview. If so does it work fine? Because I have implemented a click listener for my webview object but it is not happening.. – thejaswi Aug 25 '11 at 12:33
It's not an onclicklistener but an ontouchlistener. – GrandMarquis Aug 25 '11 at 12:59
