Air 3.x android StageWebView html5 playing local video brings up fullscreen video player

Hello !

I use stagewebview on android and ios and get different result with the same code.

If I create a simple (local) html5 page that plays a (local .mp4) video on the IPAD with stagewebview, the video player is embedded within the stagewebview rectangle. The IPAD will allow you to 'fullscreen or not fullscreen' the video via the controls button, pinch gesture or javascript function in the html page. 

The exact same code on Android (Kindle Fire) calls up a full screen video player, rather than keeping the player within the confines of the stagewebview rectangle.

I read some arcane stuff about <application android:hardwareAccelerated="true"/> which I added to the manifest additions of the app.xml, but it didn't do anything.

If I call a (remote) web page with a flowplayer on the stagewebview.loadURL the flowplayer video stays on the web page, inside the confines of the stagewebview rectangle.

Is there a way to make the videoplayer open within the confines of the stagewebview rectangle, like it does automatically on IOS ?

Thanks for your insights .....

Have you tried messing with the viewport to make sure the user can't scale it up or do what you don't want? Something like:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
