While playing audio in javascript using webview in android platform we may encounter following problem NotAllowedError: play() can only be initiated by a user gesture.. This is due to security and good user experience issue. So to enable sound play we should use following code in android:
|
1 2 3 4 |
int SDK_INT = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT; if (SDK_INT > 16) { WebViewWithJavaScript.getSettings().setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture(false); } |
Android SDK below 17 will not support this hack so we should use the condition.
Please comment if this worked for you. Thanks.
