You can do it with agraham's Reflection library:

B4X:

Sub Globals
    Dim wv As WebView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    wv.Initialize("wv")
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = wv
    r.Target = r.RunMethod("getSettings")
    r.RunMethod2("setPluginsEnabled", True, "java.lang.boolean")
End Sub

What do you mean with enabling the YouTube player?

Found this thread after encountering the same problem. Will future versions of the webview handle this without Reflector? To agraham: no disrespect intended. :sign0089:

Plugins are now enabled by default (since v1.5).

I am running Ver 1.50. Without Reflector the webview shows nothing but an "Get Adobe Flash Player" icon. With reflector (and Flash Player 10.3) this page comes up just fine:
Live NASA TV

In Webview auto-complete I can see JavaScriptEnabled (by default), though.

You are correct. There was a bug with WebViews created with the designer where the PluginsEnabled was set to false.
It is fixed for the next update.

Great. Looking forward to the next update. No rush on that, thanks to agraham's Reflector the problem can be worked around very easily.
