Device Samsung Galaxy with android 4.0.4

This report applies to an Android-based device, and the issue tracker where you reported it specializes in issues within the Open Source source code of the Android platform.

We are not able to provide support for individual devices. Please report this issue in the support forum for your device, which might be hosted by your device manufacturer or by the operator where you got your device.

Sorry for not getting back earlier. The following snippet is working:
<video src="test.mp3" onclick="this.play();"></video>

You are currently missing the JavaScript onClick handler. Additionally I would suggest to use the poster attribute and display a generic image for the user:
<video src="test.mp3" poster="test.jpg" onclick="this.play();"></video>

This seems to be duplicate to Issue 36918784 (fixed after 2.2)

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9372

needs to be sorted out!

I tried using the video tag as previously suggested, but it does not work:

<video controls autoplay>
<source src="myMp3.mp3" type="audio/mp3" />
<source src="myOgg.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
   Get a better browser
</video>

Google f'd the pooch on this one!

 abennett...
What version of Android did you used?
Android 2.3 claimed  they have native AUDIO tag support.

Add the onClick handler as described in comment 4

Needs to be fixed

Android needs the HTML5 tags,more Apps will be builds then.

Html5 is the future and needs to be supported both Aud and Vid. Additionally Video launches in a sep. player rather than playing natively in the browser as iWhatever does.

Still not working on 2.2

I have Gingerbread 2.3 on the HTC Evo 4G. The audio tag does not work. I have tried both Ogg and Mp3.

Not working, fix it please.

Groan - please fix this, tested on HTC Incredible.

Needs to be fixed

Audio tag now works in Cyanogen Mod 7.1 (Android 2.3.7) on my Nexus one.

This should be working in 2.2 !!

Not working under Cyanogen 7.1.0 on an HTC EVO 4G... (Tried w/ default browser and Dolphin.)

still not working under droidx 2.3.. sad

I am using android3.1. my html5 video works online but not offline

html5 audio works fine in Android's built-in web browser (webapp), but stops working after Phonegap build (native webview). I used phonegap 2.0.0 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 with Android 4.0.4.

I would like to understand WHY this is obsolete?

@29 because the Android WebView is now owned by Chromium team. Report all issues and bugs to http://crbug.com
