play video file from youtube in android

Question

I have followed a tutorial on how to use the youtube gdata. Populating a listview with videos from youtube and a onclick from stackoverflow

But still video play on youtube not inside my application. Please help me to find this.

Answer 1

Once you get the You tube url..., Substring the Video_ID from the Url.See the example below i have given.

You can use http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos/VIDEO_ID api to get the rtsp link from the actual you tube url.Data is in XML format

once you get the rtsp link you can play video in VideoView here is the example

For example: If this link is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMM0R19IisI

Then sMM0R19IisI is the Video_ID.So you can pass this video id to above api to get the rtsp link

To get Data in JSON format use this http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos/"+videoid+"?alt=json

Refer these two links:

Link1

Link2

Once you get the rtsp link you can play it in VideoView
