Question

I have an issue with WebView, basically I am loading in a forum that has embedded videos in places, if you play a video then rotate the device the video keeps playing in the bac

Answer 1

When minimizing the app, you need to pause your webview. Use this code to pause your webview

Class.forName("android.webkit.WebView")
                        .getMethod("onPause", (Class[]) null)
                        .invoke(webview, (Object[]) null);

And about "Video plays even you rotate your phone", this is the functionality not a bug !
