How to embed and play a YouTube video in android

Question

Can we watch youtube video in android app? I mean if we have link to video on youtube, can we play it in VideoView or another widget? Any ideas about it?

Answer 1

there is an official YouTube Android Player API wich you can use. This is a bit more complicated but it is working better than other solutions using webclients.

First you must register your app in Googles API Console. This is completely free until your app gets over 25k request a month (or something like that). There are complete anf great tutorials under the link. I hope you can understand them. If not, ask! :)
