iOS Question playing video files with system player

[cengolo]

i have a webview that loads assets from the local Files folder.
the folder also contains MP4 and MOV files.
i want them to be played externally, by the system player, not inside the webview.
is that possible?

tried the code below, does not work:



Sub WebView1_OverrideUrl (Url As String) As Boolean
If Not(Url.Contains("html")) Then
App.OpenURL(Url)

Return True
End If
End Sub

Why you are not using the Video View object. it is the same system video player.

as far as i see videoview plays the files "inside" the app. what i want is that my app stays intact, a player window opens, plays the video and when the user clicks finish on top left as usual, returns to the app. i dont want to add videoview panel to my app window.

you can create a separate page for video view and open it as presentation. I think this is the best solution that almost all the apps are using.

any hints on how i can do that will be most helpful...

is it possible to open videoview automatically fullscreen with the "done" button on the top left?
