从Android上的html链接加载mp4视频

Question

I have a html file on my Samsung android tablet that has a link like this:

<a href="./video/0001_a1.mp4" target="_blank">Click to play local 0001_a1.mp4</a>

When I click it I wanted it to open the video file that is in the sub directory /video beneath but only the link background changes like the link is being pressed but no video plays. If I remove the video file and press the link I get an error that it can't find the file. So I know that something is trying to happen. I have also tried

<a href="video/0001_a1.mp4" target="_blank">Click to play local 0001_a1.mp4</a>

With the same results. Both work fine when on a Windows PC.

How can I load local videos using an html link on Android?

Answer 1

In mobile browsers you must call window.open inside onClick instead of set href attribute:

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('./video/0001_a1.mp4','_blank')">
    Click to play local 0001_a1.mp4
</a>
