Research direction

Start by tracing the Android SDK's analysis or tracking entry points and compare the behavior described for WebView, VideoView, and ExoPlayer. The issue names no files or tests, so first determine whether direct MP4 playback is supported and where its analysis event would be handled; done means the supported behavior is documented or the reported discrepancy is resolved and verified.

Description

Issue Summary

I am developing an Android application and it is not reflected in analysis when I use VideoView (.mp4 url) to show the video.
But when using WebView (<iframe ..), analysis works.

Is it only reflected in the analysis when I watch it embedded?
Or should I send it to analysis manually when i use VideoView or ExoPlayer?
