Auto playing vimeo videos in Android webview

Question

I\'ve managed to get a vimeo video to load and play, using the following. However the autoplay=1 as indicated in the vimeo oembed docs doesn\'t auto play on load. Anyone fou

Answer 1

I had the same issue, I think that you could use this one to make it happen:

public abstract void setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture (boolean require)

Added in API level 17 Sets whether the WebView requires a user gesture to play media. The default is true.

Parameters require whether the WebView requires a user gesture to play media

Hope to help you at least a little!
