iPhone, how to detect when control is returned to browser?

Question

Hi guys:

I'm a newbie to cocoa programing on iPhone.

My client has a website that plays YouTube videos. Once a video is finished playing, it will automatically play the next one. This is done by using the YouTube API and swfobject.

After some research, I was told that Safari on iPhone does not support flash. This make the current swfobject code not working on the iPhone browser.

As workaround, when the user clicked on an embedded player, iPhone will launch the YouTube app.

Is to possible to determine when the YouTube app has finished playing and has returned control back to browser?

Answer 1

No, it is not possible to jump out of your App and then come back to it again. Once you leave your App, you are finished.

You'll need to stay in a UIWebView, or come up with another method of playing the YouTube videos from within your App.
