**I will paypal $200 to anyone that can solve this for me**

I'm trying to get an Android WebView to play a video inline.  On iOS you can just use webkit-playsinline in your video tag.  Not so on Android.  I followed the examples provided in these 2 answers:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3815090/webview-and-html5-video

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4989738/how-to-play-a-video-in-a-webview-with-android

Using these techniques I can get the video to play only on the second time that I start the WebViewActivity.  It doesn't work the first time and it doesn't work again after the second time.  _You have to run this on a device, video won't play back at all in the emulator._  You can download the Android project here:

You can see the source for the WebViewActivity here:

It appears that the problem lies with onShowCustomView not being called.  It is called when the video appears but isn't called when it doesn't.  Even when it doesn't appear, the video in the html emits events, it just never appears on the screen.

It's very simple (2 Activities & a small html file) and should be an easy $200 for anyone familiar with this problem.
