Question

If I load http://www.youtube.com url on a webview and select any video, doesn’t trigger new window with player. Should I set something for it on manifest? If I use standard browser works! Event shouldOverrideUrlLoading or any other are not fired. Thank you

webviewA.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webviewA.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
        webviewA.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
        webviewA.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
        webviewA.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
        webviewA.getSettings().setGeolocationEnabled(true);
        webviewA.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
        webviewA.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        webviewA.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);

        webviewA.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);
        webviewA.getSettings().setAllowContentAccess(true);

        webviewA.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
        webviewA.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
        webviewA.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);

if (savedInstanceState == null){
            String Url = "www.youtube.com/my-desired_channel";
            webviewA.loadUrl(Url);
        }

event not fired,

 @Override
                public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
    not fired!!
    }

You could use something like –

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abcde")));

EDIT: Try this

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()
{
 public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
 {
  // YouTube video link
  if (url.startsWith("vnd.youtube:"))
  {
   int n = url.indexOf("?");
   if (n > 0)
   {
    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(String.format("http://www.youtube.com/v/%s", url.substring("vnd.youtube:".length(),n)));
   }
   return (true);
  }

  return (false);
 }
});
