Android Youtube Player:
Android Youtube Player, have you ever tried integrating Youtube Player into your app? yes its possible by integration of play youtube api into your application also make sure that the video you are integrating need to have embed permission.
Android app has different types of presenting data to end user and video is one of its kind so in this tutorial we can help you out with integrating youtube video into your app.
Before going any further into tutorial lets get a api key from google console api Google Api Key
Android Youtube Player Video :
Create a credential using your SHA1 Algorithm need help in generating SHA1
then
API key is generated if required you can restrict your api key depending upon your usage level. Copy the api key for further usage in integrating youtube videos.
Add youtube library to your android studio projects
Youtube Android Player API — Download
add it to libs folder of your project and integrate to
build.gradle(Module: app)
compile files('libs/YouTubeAndroidPlayerApi.jar')
Let’s start coding
activity_adview.xml
Just add YouTubePlayerView we don’t need any other view.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView android:id="@+id/player_view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="30dp" /> </RelativeLayout>
Config
Configure youtube player with the api key which is generated in above process and also youtube video which you want to play
https://androidcoding.in/2017/12/17/get-video-code-youtube-link/
public class Config {
// Google Console APIs API key
public static final String API_KEY = "Your API Key";
// Replace this with video code you want to play
public static final String VIDEO_CODE = "videocode";
}
YoutubeActivity.java
Now initialize Youtube Player, EventListener & StateChangeListener in your activity class
public class YoutubeAdd extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener {
private static final int RECOVERY_DIALOG_REQUEST = 1; private YouTubePlayerView playerView; private EventListener eventListener; private StateChangeListener stateChangeListener;
then
eventListener = new EventListener(); stateChangeListener = new StateChangeListener(); playerView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.player_view); playerView.initialize(Config.API_KEY, this);
if initialization failed then
@Override
public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
YouTubeInitializationResult errorResult) {
if (errorResult.isUserRecoverableError()) {
errorResult.getErrorDialog(this, RECOVERY_DIALOG_REQUEST).show();
}
else {
String error = String.format(getString(R.string.error_string), errorResult.toString());
Toast.makeText(this, error, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
and when succeeded
@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
YouTubePlayer player, boolean wasRestored) {
player.setPlaybackEventListener(eventListener);
player.setPlayerStateChangeListener(stateChangeListener);
if (!wasRestored) {
player.cueVideo(Config.VIDEO_CODE);
player.setPlayerStyle(PlayerStyle.DEFAULT);
}
}
Using EventListener we can track video whether video is being played, paused, stopped, buffering and also seek
private final class EventListener implements YouTubePlayer.PlaybackEventListener {
@Override
public void onPlaying() {
Log.e("Status", "Playing");
}
@Override
public void onPaused() {
Log.e("Status", "Paused");
}
@Override
public void onStopped() {
Log.e("Status", "Stopped");
}
@Override
public void onBuffering(boolean b) {
}
@Override
public void onSeekTo(int i) {
}
}
and using StateChangeListener we can know whether video is loaded, any error occurred or whether the ad started in between the video and most importantly whether the video is ended using which we can do further actions.
private final class StateChangeListener implements YouTubePlayer.PlayerStateChangeListener {
@Override
public void onLoading() {
}
@Override
public void onLoaded(String s) {
}
@Override
public void onAdStarted() {
}
@Override
public void onVideoStarted() {
}
@Override
public void onVideoEnded() {
}
@Override
public void onError(YouTubePlayer.ErrorReason errorReason) {
}
}
