setPluginsEnabled not exist for WebView

Question

I\'m trying to play html5 video in webview and need to setPluginsEnabled

WebView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled

but it\'s no

Answer 1

The function WebView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(); method has been deprecated since API level 9, and was removed in API level 18. You can use the newer function WebView.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON); which was added in API level 8 and was deprecated in API level 18. According to the WebSettings Documentation API levels beyond 18 will not support plugins; I'm assuming is because the main plugin to support was flash which adobe is no longer developing for mobile.
