Answer 1

I don't know what kind of style you want, but you can use YouTube Player as Activity or Fragment or a View.

So you can basically customise your player easily with new YouTubePlayer API

If you want some simple youtube player with fullscreen (no titlebar mode), You are welcome to use my code!!

Try this link for youtube video play in my layout : http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/software-engineer/using-googles-youtube-api-in-your-android-apps/

public class MainActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements
YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener {

    static private final String DEVELOPER_KEY = "add your own key here!";
    static private final String VIDEO = "4SK0cUNMnMM";
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        YouTubePlayerView youTubeView = (YouTubePlayerView)
        findViewById(R.id.youtube_view);
        youTubeView.initialize(DEVELOPER_KEY, this);
    }
    @Override
    public void onInitializationFailure(Provider provider,
        YouTubeInitializationResult error) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Oh no! "+error.toString(),
            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
    @Override
    public void onInitializationSuccess(Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player,
        boolean wasRestored) {
        player.loadVideo(VIDEO);
    }
}
