I’m trying to show all the twitter blockquotes in a webview. The tweets are rendering properly. But, Twitter videos are not showing properly. Sometimes, it shows with the text along with a huge space and sometimes just the space. Below is my code used to load twitter blockquotes in a webview:

public static void showTweetsinWebview(String embedUrl, TweetViewContainer tweetContainer, LinearLayout container, BaseFragment.OnInlinelinkClickListner listener, Activity activity, Fragment fragment) {
        if (activity != null && container != null && fragment != null && embedUrl != null) {
            if (tweetContainer == null) {
                tweetContainer = new TweetViewContainer(activity);
                container.addView(tweetContainer);
            }
            VideoEnabledWebview vWebview = initWebview(activity, fragment);
            ProgressBar progressBar = createDynamicLoader(activity, container);


            if (embedUrl != null) {
                String html = "<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> \n" +
                        "\n" +
                        "<script async src =\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" \n" +
                        "charset=\"utf-8\"></script></head>" +
                        " <body>" + embedUrl + "</body> </html> ";
                vWebview.setWebUrl(html);
                initWebviewListeners(vWebview, listener, progressBar, activity);
//                vWebview.loadDataWithBaseURL("https://twitter.com", html, "text/html", "utf-8", null);
                vWebview.loadData(html, "text/html", "UTF-8");
                tweetContainer.setBackgroundResource(0);
                tweetContainer.addView(vWebview);
                tweetContainer.setTag(embedUrl);

            }
        }
    }

Also, I tried testing the html content in W3Schools and even in this site, it is rendering properly. When the same code displays tweets properly, why videos aren’t rendering properly.

Is your embedUrl of the basic format:

<blockquote class="twitter-video"><a href="https://twitter.com/Twitter/status/560070183650213889"></a></blockquote>

What CSP or sandbox values might be applied to the embed?

@niall,
The blockquote has twitter-video. Plese find the below blockquote:

Happy Birthday @msdhoni! The more the candles the more the light that will shine in your life wish you all the best pic.twitter.com/uECxolq7ZX
