Two Java extension classes (VideoEnabledWebView and VideoEnabledWebChromeClient) that add reliable HTML5 <video> support to Android's WebView, including inline playback and fullscreen handling. It works from Android 2.2 onward and was tested up to Android 4.4's Chromium WebView.
Use cases
- play html5 videos inside an android webview
- make webview videos go fullscreen and exit fullscreen automatically
- fix videos not playing a second time in webview
- show loading indicator for webview video playback
- embed inline video in a hybrid android app
When to choose
- you are building an Android app with a WebView that must render <video> content reliably across devices
- you need fullscreen video behavior that the stock WebView lacks
- you target older Android API levels where WebView video support is broken
When to avoid
- you use modern Android WebView versions where HTML5 video mostly works out of the box
- you need a maintained solution - the project has not been updated since 2020
- you are not on Android/Java
