Embedding a youtube video into android app using eclipse?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to embed youtube videos into android using eclipse. I would prefer to use the chromeless player, but at this point it's not necessary.

Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way to embed a Youtube video is to use an intent to fire the Youtube application, like this:

String video_path = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opZ69P-0Jbc";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(video_path);

// With this line the Youtube application, if installed, will launch immediately.
// Without it you will be prompted with a list of the application to choose.
uri = Uri.parse("vnd.youtube:"  + uri.getQueryParameter("v"));

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
