Create Javascript Interface in muzima to display videos in forms

The Lark study requires that we display images and videos as part of the forms to help in decision support and provide education to patients to achieve this a Javas script Interface in muzima is required to enable forms to display the images and the videos as per the discussions on IRC

10:17 PM <manutarus> hi nribeka
10:17 PM <nribeka> hi manutarus
10:17 PM <nribeka> what's up?
10:18 PM <manutarus> i need help with displaying a video within a form nribeka
10:18 PM <nribeka> for which form is this going to be manutarus?
10:19 PM <nribeka> do you plan to load the video manually as we don't have the mechanism to send video to device yet?
10:20 PM <manutarus> the lark retention form nribeka they have some videos for the chv's to display to patients depending on the given logic
10:21 PM <manutarus> yes nribeka we shall load the video to the sdcard manually
10:23 PM <nribeka> if the video is available in sdcard, i think it's going to be a bit easier
10:24 PM <nribeka> i think the easiest way would be to use link. when the user click the link, the apps will send intent to view video
10:29 PM <manutarus> trying this nribeka
10:29 PM <manutarus> <video id="larkVideoOne" src="/home/manu/Desktop/v1.mp4" controls></video>
10:30 PM <nribeka> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11189631/how-to-play-a-video-mp4-from-assets-or-raw-folder-with-the-video-intent
10:32 PM <nribeka> so you will have a link manu
10:33 PM <nribeka> <a class="video-player" data-video="uri to video">Open this video</a>
10:34 PM <nribeka> $('.video-player').click(function(){
10:34 PM <nribeka> var videoUri = $(this).attr('data-video');
10:34 PM <nribeka> openVideo(videoUri);
10:34 PM <nribeka> {);
10:34 PM <nribeka> and then have a javascript interface for the openVideo
10:36 PM <nribeka> @JavascriptInterface
10:36 PM <nribeka> public void openVideo(String videoUri)

{ 10:36 PM <nribeka> Intent tostart = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); 10:36 PM <nribeka> String movieUrl = "file:///android_asset/myvideo.mp4"; --> this should be replaced with path to the video file from videoUri 10:36 PM <nribeka> tostart.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(movieUrl), "video/*"); 10:36 PM <nribeka> startActivity(tostart); 10:36 PM <nribeka> }

10:36 PM <nribeka> something like that I would think
10:37 PM <nribeka> can you post a ticket for this manu
10:37 PM <nribeka> and paste this conversation we have

10:49 PM <nribeka> along with the discussion here as reference

10:50 PM <nribeka> cool manutarus
11:11 PM <manutarus> so the JavascriptInterface for openVideo is this already created nribeka or we shall have to create it in muzima
