First of all, i would like to apologize for my bad level in english, and for all the mistakes i might have done in this post. I'm also a "junior" in Android devloppement (i'm doing this on my free time), i'm not good and experienced enough yet ^^ so sorry if i might have some difficulties to understands the answer you might give me.
So what i'm doing ? I'm creating a simple Android App. It's just a Webview to load my website. My website is just a random Youtube video player.
First i had the problem to play HTML5 Video in Fullscreen. I succeed to done that with this project VideoEnabledWebView
So my app is exactly the same as VideoEnabledWebView.
What is my problem ? I block the screen rotation in my app. Only "Portrait" mode and i succeed to done that. But when i play a video in fullscreen mode, i can't be in landscape mode. I understand why, but i can't find a solution, a hack to able to do that. So i would like to rotate the screen in landscape mode only if i'm playing the video in fullscreen.
First, Here is my MainActivity.java :
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity
{
private VideoEnabledWebView webView;
private VideoEnabledWebChromeClient webChromeClient;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
webView = (VideoEnabledWebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
View nonVideoLayout = findViewById(R.id.nonVideoLayout); // Your own view, read class comments
ViewGroup videoLayout = (ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.videoLayout);
View loadingView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.view_loading_video, null); // Your own view, read class comments
webChromeClient = new VideoEnabledWebChromeClient(nonVideoLayout, videoLayout, loadingView, webView) // See all available constructors...
{
@Override
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress)
{
}
};
webChromeClient.setOnToggledFullscreen(new VideoEnabledWebChromeClient.ToggledFullscreenCallback()
{
@Override
public void toggledFullscreen(boolean fullscreen)
{
if (fullscreen)
{
WindowManager.LayoutParams attrs = getWindow().getAttributes();
attrs.flags |= WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
attrs.flags |= WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON;
getWindow().setAttributes(attrs);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14)
{
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE);
}
}
else
{
WindowManager.LayoutParams attrs = getWindow().getAttributes();
attrs.flags &= ~WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
attrs.flags &= ~WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON;
getWindow().setAttributes(attrs);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14)
{
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE);
}
}
}
});
webView.setWebChromeClient(webChromeClient);
webView.setWebViewClient(new myWebViewClient());
webView.loadUrl("https://www.awesomekraken.com/fr");
}
public class myWebViewClient extends WebViewClient
{
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
{
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed()
{
if (!webChromeClient.onBackPressed())
{
if (webView.canGoBack())
{
webView.goBack();
}
else
{
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
}
}
As you can see in the onCreate method, i put the line :
this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
I think it's in this part i can resolve my problem :
webChromeClient.setOnToggledFullscreen(new VideoEnabledWebChromeClient.ToggledFullscreenCallback()
{
@Override
public void toggledFullscreen(boolean fullscreen)
{
if (fullscreen)
{
WindowManager.LayoutParams attrs = getWindow().getAttributes();
attrs.flags |= WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
attrs.flags |= WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON;
getWindow().setAttributes(attrs);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14)
{
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE);
}
}
else
{
WindowManager.LayoutParams attrs = getWindow().getAttributes();
attrs.flags &= ~WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
attrs.flags &= ~WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON;
getWindow().setAttributes(attrs);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14)
{
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE);
}
}
}
});
I tried to put setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
under the if(fullscreen) but that doesn't work. The app switch in Landscape for a half second and the webview reload the all page.
I searched a lot on Google & StackOverflow but from now i found nothing very helpfull.
Only this post is the same as mine, but he got no any answer.
If anyone have a solution, tip or advice ...
Of course, i will update this post if i get more information, or solve my problem.
Thanks in advance for your help !
I ended up in rotating the custom view container:
This looks like landscape mode if you only show the custom view instead of actionbar and other contents.
