android WebView stop Flash plugin onPause

Question

I have a WebView that contains a html file that contains a Flash plugin (a video).

When the user presses play on the Flash plugin, the video plays fine.

How

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue. The following worked for me:

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    final WebView webview = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webPlayer);
    // Calling .clearView does not stop the flash player must load new data
    webview.loadData("", "text/html", "utf-8");
}
