Question

I’m a noob to android development and my webview resizes itself whenever i try to play video. In order to make the webview play video i had to add the line of code:

youtube.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);

In my layout, I have my webview above a listview. However, now when the webview plays video it becomes fullscreen and covers listview. this was not happening before i added the line above. How do I stop my webview from resizing itself? Any help is greatly appreciated?

Here is my layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="@+id/LLvideos" >


<WebView
        android:id="@+id/webViewyoutube"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="350dp" >
    </WebView>

<!-- List view -->
<ListView
    android:id="@+id/videolist"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:divider="#00000000"
    android:dividerHeight="0dp" >
</ListView>

Here is my video link

youtube.loadUrl("http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1683318714001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAAC59qSJk~,vyxcsD3OtBPHZ2UIrFX2-wdCLTYNyMNn&bclid=1644543007001&bctid=1858951133001");

Sounds like you are have a scaling issue. Try youtube.setInitialScale(50). This should work.
