Problems with Vimeo Player in Android WebView Application

Question

In my Android app, I created a WebView to play Vimeo videos. When I load an action, the correct view of the vimeo video appears, but when I try to play it, I get the following screen:

Sometimes the sound from the video is played, but I never get the video. Here is what I have in my activity:

if(mediaURL.toLowerCase().contains("vimeo")){ Log.d(TAG, "adding viemo"); final WebView vimeoPlayer = new WebView(MediaPreview.this); vimeoPlayer.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT)); vimeoPlayer.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); vimeoPlayer.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true); vimeoPlayer.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Android Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30"); vimeoPlayer.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient()); vimeoPlayer.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()); vimeoPlayer.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true); vimeoPlayer.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true); vimeoPlayer.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON); vimeo_url = mediaURL + "?player_id=player&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&api=1&maxheight=480&maxwidth=800"; Log.d(TAG, "vimeo_url: " + vimeo_url); vimeoPlayer.loadUrl(vimeo_url); // vimeoPlayer.loadDataWithBaseURL("", vimeo_url, "text/html", "UTF-8", null); mediaHolder.addView(vimeoPlayer);; } 

I have not seen any final examples of how Vimeo players work in Android applications, so if someone got this to work, I really appreciate your help!

Answer 1

Everything looks pretty good, I'm not sure why he won’t play for you, you checked this: https://github.com/droid28/VimeoVideo ?

Thanks @Adnan Mulla for the answer, your solutions work with problem / error

Problem: There is an error in https://github.com/droid28/VimeoVideo. It does not stop the sound even after the operation is completed.

Solution: You need to destroy WebView in onDestroy()

 @Override protected void onDestroy() { super.onDestroy(); mWebView.destroy(); }
