YouTube Video not playing in WebView
Seems like duplicate of play youtube video in WebView and YouTube Video not playing in WebView - Android
To make it work via WebView, I used the following two steps (version 4.2.2/Nexus 4):
On
shouldOverrideUrlLoading
I addedwebview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
In
AndroidManifest.xml
foractivity
tag I addedandroid:hardwareAccelerated="true"
AndroidManifest.xml should also contain Internet permission.
While exact steps with playing video via WebView can be specific to device and Android version, there are also other alternatives to WebView, like VideoView or using Youtube Android Player API.
EDIT1
As for pause and full screen, this is actually a second link I mentioned in the beginning. To make it easier, I am posting code that worked on my Nexus.

In activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".MainActivity" > <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/fullscreen_custom_content" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="#FF000000"/> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearlayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <WebView android:id="@+id/webView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" /> </LinearLayout> </RelativeLayout>

In MainActivity class:
public class MainActivity extends Activity { private WebView mWebView; private LinearLayout mContentView; private FrameLayout mCustomViewContainer; private WebChromeClient.CustomViewCallback mCustomViewCallback; FrameLayout.LayoutParams COVER_SCREEN_GRAVITY_CENTER = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams( ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, Gravity.CENTER); @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); mContentView = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearlayout); mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView); mCustomViewContainer = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.fullscreen_custom_content); WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings(); webSettings.setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON); webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webSettings.setUseWideViewPort(true); webSettings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true); mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com"); mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient()); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu); return true; } private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webview, String url) { webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() { private View mCustomView; @Override public void onShowCustomView(View view, WebChromeClient.CustomViewCallback callback) { // if a view already exists then immediately terminate the new one if (mCustomView != null) { callback.onCustomViewHidden(); return; } // Add the custom view to its container. mCustomViewContainer.addView(view, COVER_SCREEN_GRAVITY_CENTER); mCustomView = view; mCustomViewCallback = callback; // hide main browser view mContentView.setVisibility(View.GONE); // Finally show the custom view container. mCustomViewContainer.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); mCustomViewContainer.bringToFront(); } }); webview.loadUrl(url); return true; } } @Override public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack()) { mWebView.goBack(); return true; } return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event); } }
EDIT2 - adding back button support
