Have the link as http://my.web.page./my_clip.mp4 on your webpage. When the user clicks on it, the link would be passed to the mediaplayer. Note that not all mimetypes are recognized by the mediaplayer. -Ravi On Jul 17, 2:43 pm, Jason Proctor wrote: > >I was under the impression the OP wasn't an Android developer.

I was under the impression the OP wasn't an Android developer. Click handlers and MediaPlayers wouldn't be an option for somebody just trying to make their Web site more Android browser-friendly.

is coming, hopefully soon. that's if Apple stop messing it up. until then, you can do this the long way round. install a click handler then when a link to your video fires, route off to your activity which plays the movie using MediaPlayer. not so much work. >This may not be the proper place but I've yet to find the answer!

There is the YouTube application, which plays YouTube videos. There are video player *engines*, but these are not available as an application built into Android. They are designed for other developers to create video applications. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in Germany, 18-22 January 2010: http://bignerdranch.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

either a plugin or the one that seems to play when I browse the youtube site ... it looks to me like there is a default player, am I wrong ?
