We have a WebView based android app which loads webpage consisting <a> tags linking to YouTube video.
The web app works fine in a browsers like Chrome for Android and loads thumbnail from YouTube as expected but within WebView the <a> tag won't load the thumbnail of YouTube video.
How can we force the WebView to behave similar to Chrome browser
Have tried setting clients like below, which didn't help
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
Even added hardware acceleration in AndroidManifest.xml but it didn't work either
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
Note: JavaScript is also enabled.
Did you try to enable javascript in your webview?
You can enable it like this:
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

I am using advanced webview in my app. I followed the steps as listed in https://github.com/delight-im/Android-AdvancedWebView.
The problem is , the webview is not loading the URL properly, meaning that, the screen is not aligned properly and in few websites, I am not able to click the buttons.
I use myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); in my code.
Will setJavaScriptEnabled work in advanced webview?
JavaScript and WebStorage are enabled by default according to Github repository:
https://github.com/delight-im/Android-AdvancedWebView
Did you try this?
mWebView = (AdvancedWebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebView.setListener(this, this);
mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.example.org/");
If that is not working try this use case as for normal WebView
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
I was trying to test if it is possible to integrate stripe js in a website and load that site in an android Webview to proceed for payment. I was using this link https://github.com/stripe/elements-examples to load that in Webview like this:
WebView browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
browser.loadUrl("https://stripe.github.io/elements-examples/");
Everything is loading in the Webview except the credit card field is not there. Either it is not visible or it can not be editable. Why is that?
Try to add below code to enable Javascript in your Webview:
WebSettings webSettings = browser.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
I just added a webview to my app to load a simple article with a video on it and some text.
The text shows up as it should but it's as if the video is not even an invisible element.
WebView browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webArticle);
browser.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
WebSettings settings = browser.getSettings();
settings.setBlockNetworkLoads(false);
settings.setBlockNetworkImage(false);
settings.setAllowContentAccess(true);
settings.setLoadsImagesAutomatically(true);
settings.setAllowFileAccess(true);
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
settings.setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
browser.loadUrl(url);
At first ,You need to add this
getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
getSettings().setUserAgent(USER_MOBILE);
Then Add to the Application Manifest File (Below Permission):
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
For demo code Play YouTube video in WebView

The page is implemented by jquery-fullpage plugin, like this:
http://alvarotrigo.com/fullPage/#firstPage
In android app, WebView doesn't display it properly. It overlaps all the sub pages in one page without scrollbar.
Any idea?
Version of your browser maybe affect. Check issue on Github.
Remember enable javascript in your WebView:
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.clearCache(true);
webView.clearHistory();
/* Enabling javascript */
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
My webview will works for a site such as Google.com, however, the specific page will not load.
Simply displays subscribe to feedburner (I made this site to reflect a converted news feed)
This specific webpage will display correctly in an Iphone UIWebView, but not for Android.
Some code
WebView rss = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webviewRSS);
rss.loadUrl("www.newmanu.edu/newmannews");
Check out the source of "www.newmanu.edu/newmannews", you have to activate javascript.
from http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
Add http:// or https:// before URL.
Try this.
rss.loadUrl("http://www.newmanu.edu/newmannews");
Or
rss.loadUrl("https://www.newmanu.edu/newmannews");
