Android Question couldn't use WebView to playback Youtube Vedio

[Albert Lin]

Dear All

I used the WebView to loadURL to play the youtube Vedio, but it couldn't work.
What's wrong with it? the attachment is the project I made. The program can be call out the Youtube Vedio. but when I click <Play>, there's no reponse.

Thanks for any suggestion

I added SetActivityAttribute(main, android:hardwareAccelerated, "true"), but it is still not working

Which device are you using? What is the Android version?

This code works on Android 6.0:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Activity.LoadLayout("1")
   
   WebView1.LoadUrl("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noQLB3wo47k")
End Sub

It is a real device, right?

Might be a problem with the native WebView implementation. You can use the YouTube library instead.

Yes, it's a real device. Do you have a YouTube library example?
