Solution
I don't think autoplay works on Android, but getting a video to play can be annoyingly tricky. I suggest giving this article a read: Making HTML5 Video work on Android phones.
Problem
I had developed a mobile page by asp.net to play mp4 video. I know iOS had disabled the autoplay function to minimize user bandwidth, so how can i autoplay HTML5 mp4 video on Android ? I had already put autoplay in HTML5 code, but it doesn't work. The following is my code: ``` <video autoplay controls id='video1' width='100%' poster='images/top_icon.png' webkitEnterFullscreen poster preload='true'> <source src='http://192.xxx.xxx.xx/XXXXVM01.mp4' type='video/mp4; codecs='avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2' > </video> ``` Moreover, I had fixed the problem that user click on the image overlay can play the video. Thanks Karthi here are the code: ``` <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("#video1").bind("click", function() { var vid = $(this).get(0); if (vid.paused) { vid.play(); } else { vid.pause(); } }); }); </script> ``` Thanks Joe
