title: Can javascript autoplay an HTML5 video on android (built in autoplay does not work)
body: <p>I am trying to autoplay a video on page load, and the built in 'autoplay' feature doe snot work on android (which I have found well documented in these forums)</p>
  
  <p>However I have not been anble to find if there is a possible javascript solution to force the video to autoplay and loop on page load.</p>
  
  <p>My device is a Samsung galaxy Tab 2 – version 4.0.4 </p>
  
  <p>Is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>Here is my video code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;video  id="video1" width="430" height="430" controls  preload="auto" poster="990643607_AN.jpg"&gt;
    &lt;source src="990643607_AN.mp4" type="video/mp4"&gt;
    &lt;source src="990643607_AN.webm" type="video/webm"&gt;
    &lt;source src="990643607_AN.ogv" type="video/ogg"&gt;
    &lt;object width="430" height="430" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../mediaelement/flashmediaelement.swf"&gt;
            &lt;param name="movie" value="../mediaelement/flashmediaelement.swf" /&gt;
            &lt;param name="flashvars" value="controls=true&amp;file=990643607_AN.mp4" type="video/mp4" /&gt;
    &lt;/object&gt;
    &lt;/video&gt;
