HI,
I'm trying to start a video automatically when a certain event happens and it works fine , but the video must occupy only a fraction of the screen and the progress bar must not be visible. Does Someone know if it's possible?
Or does someone can suggest me an idea as a workaround? I would try with a video referenced by an html file, but it seems that web viewer cannot play it. Thanks

To be able to play Youtube videos in the webviewer, you have to edit the manifest and add android:targetSdkVersion="14" or higher. Thank you Boban!

btw. you could have found this answer yourself after doing a search in the forum...

Sorry, I was not clear enough. I want to start a video created by myself, not a YouTube one, I could use video player component to do this but always the command and progress bar pops up and it should be avoided.
