Playing HTML5 video on fullscreen in android webview

Solution 1:

Edit 2014/10: by popular demand I'm maintaining and moving this to GitHub. Please check cprcrack/VideoEnabledWebView for the last version. Will keep this answer only for reference.

Edit 2014/01: improved example usage to include the nonVideoLayout, videoLayout, and videoLoading views, for those users requesting more example code for better understading.

Edit 2013/12: some bug fixes related to Sony Xperia devices compatibility, but which in fact affected all devices.

Edit 2013/11: after the release of Android 4.4 KitKat (API level 19) with its new Chromium webview, I had to work hard again. Several improvements were made. You should update to this new version. I release this source under WTFPL.

Edit 2013/04: after 1 week of hard work, I finally have achieved everything I needed. I think this two generic classes that I have created can solve all you problems.

VideoEnabledWebChromeClient can be used alone if you do not require the functionality that VideoEnabledWebView adds. But VideoEnabledWebView must always rely on a VideoEnabledWebChromeClient. Please read all the comments of the both classes carefully.

VideoEnabledWebChromeClient class

import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.media.MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener;
import android.media.MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener;
import android.media.MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.widget.FrameLayout;

/**
 * This class serves as a WebChromeClient to be set to a WebView, allowing it to play video.
 * Video will play differently depending on target API level (in-line, fullscreen, or both).
 *
 * It has been tested with the following video classes:
 * - android.widget.VideoView (typically API level <11)
 * - android.webkit.HTML5VideoFullScreen$VideoSurfaceView/VideoTextureView (typically API level 11-18)
 * - com.android.org.chromium.content.browser.ContentVideoView$VideoSurfaceView (typically API level 19+)
 * 
 * Important notes:
 * - For API level 11+, android:hardwareAccelerated="true" must be set in the application manifest.
 * - The invoking activity must call VideoEnabledWebChromeClient's onBackPressed() inside of its own onBackPressed().
 * - Tested in Android API levels 8-19. Only tested on http://m.youtube.com.

Edit: please see my other answer, as you probably don't need this now.

As you said, in API levels 11+ a HTML5VideoFullScreen$VideoSurfaceView is passed. But I don't think you are right when you say that "it doens't have a MediaPlayer".

This is the way to reach the MediaPlayer instance from the HTML5VideoFullScreen$VideoSurfaceView instance using reflection:

@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
Class c1 = Class.forName("android.webkit.HTML5VideoFullScreen$VideoSurfaceView");
Field f1 = c1.getDeclaredField("this$0");
f1.setAccessible(true);

@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
Class c2 = f1.getType().getSuperclass();
Field f2 = c2.getDeclaredField("mPlayer");
f2.setAccessible(true);

Object ___html5VideoViewInstance = f1.get(focusedChild); // Look at the code in my other answer to this same question to see whats focusedChild

Object ___mpInstance = f2.get(___html5VideoViewInstance); // This is the MediaPlayer instance.

So, now you could set the onCompletion listener of the MediaPlayer instance like this:

OnCompletionListener ocl = new OnCompletionListener()
{
    @Override
    public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp)
    {
        // Do stuff
    }
};

Method m1 = f2.getType().getMethod("setOnCompletionListener", new Class[] { Class.forName("android.media.MediaPlayer$OnCompletionListener") });
m1.invoke(___mpInstance, ocl);

The code doesn't fail but I'm not completely sure if that onCompletion listener will really be called or if it could be useful to your situation. But just in case someone would like to try it.

Thank you so much for that class, Cristian.

I made a minor tweak to it so that the custom loading view is optional, like so:

  @Override
    public View getVideoLoadingProgressView() // Video will start loading, only called in the case of VideoView (typically API level 10-)
    {
        if (loadingView == null)
        {
            return super.getVideoLoadingProgressView();
        }
        else
        {
            loadingView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            return loadingView;
        }
    }

I also added a new constructor that just takes two parameters. Anyway, just a minor simplification if you don't need the loading view. Thanks again for providing this.
