I have deve loped an app to watch embed videos. I play them with a webview but is not efficent for this...

I have hardwareAccelerated = true in mi AndroidManisfest file but it keeps 'lagging'.

I can't use YouTube API (I know is a good API to watch videos) because my videos are not in Youtube and i cannot upload it due to copyright therms.

So, is any other good API to play videos in an Android app? I'm using a WebChromeClient... or some suggestions to improve the WebView efficiency?

This is my webView

    webViewPlayer = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.youtubeplayerview);
    webViewPlayer.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webViewPlayer.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);
    webViewPlayer.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
    webViewPlayer.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);
    webViewPlayer.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
    webViewPlayer.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        // This line right here is what you're missing.
        // Use the url provided in the method.  It will match the member URL!
        webViewPlayer.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Toast.makeText(cntx, getString(R.string.toast_loaded), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);    
    }


});
mClient = new MyChromeClient();
webViewPlayer.setWebChromeClient(mClient);

P.D. Launch the browser with an embed video is not a solution for me because my webView is a part of the activity, isn't fullscreen.

Thanks in advance.
