I also got stuck with this issue. I got correct response from server, but couldn`t play video. After long time I found a solution here. Maybe, in future this link will be invalid. So, here is my correct code

Uri video = Uri.parse("Your link should be in this place "); 
mVideoView.setVideoURI(video); 

mVideoView.setZOrderOnTop(true); //Very important line, add it to Your code
mVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() { 
    @Override 
    public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
   // here write another part of code, which provides starting the video
}}

If tried others anwsers no work,maybe you can try this:

 if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP){
        webview.getSettings().setMixedContentMode(WebSettings.MIXED_CONTENT_ALWAYS_ALLOW);
    }

Answer 4

Add webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient()); and to enable plugins for your video add:

  if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 8) {
     webview.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
  }  
  else {
     webview.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);
  }

Hope this helps.
