How to Stop the Webview video in android

android, android-webview, java

Solution

It's a little hacky, but if you want to have a pause/play of the video when your activity goes off/on, use this in your Activity:

@Override
public void onPause()
{
    super.onPause();
    toggleWebViewState(true);
}

@Override
public void onResume()
{
    super.onResume();
    toggleWebViewState(false);
}

private void toggleWebViewState(boolean pause)
{           
    try
    {
        Class.forName("android.webkit.WebView")
        .getMethod(pause
                ? "onPause"
                : "onResume", (Class[]) null)
        .invoke(webview, (Object[]) null);
    }
    catch (Exception e){}
}
