I am planning on developing an app similar to Snaptube, where a user can search and stream videos on the app just like YouTube. The question is, does YouTube allow for such applications, and how would I go about it in terms of the searching functionality since most tutorials show how just to play videos embedded to the app through a link in methods such as recycler view or web view? Hope I am clear as can be, thanks.
Youtube as an API that is specifically designed to search Videos on their plattform. You can retrieve the found videos and embedd them in your app, so the user can watch the content. YouTube allows such applications.
See https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list for an API (JAVA) Example of how to search Videos on Youtube. There are Android Libraries that help you with that. They can be found here https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/downloads/ and here https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/quickstart/android.

I'm building an Android app that works similar to Udacity app.
My requirements
All my videos should only be viewed via the app.
I will be using my own video player inside the app, and I want the
option to choose quality of video (Like in YouTube app)
Offline download option
Considering these requirements, how would I want to host the videos?
I'm familiar with the Android app side of things, but the rest I know nothing.
Did 3 hours of googling before posting this question here, and found out udemy is using AWS and Brightcove.
Can anybody explain the procedure of hosting and encoding videos for my requirements.
Firstly, big organizations like Udemy, Coursera and Udacity design and develop their own video encoding tool to show in the application. Udacity, for instance, has two modes - YouTube and their own player which the user can set based on their preference.
You can't develop your own codec or player in a jiffy, it needs a lot of dedication and more work which one person cannot develop in days.
For your query, you can use ExoPlayer, YouTube Embed, Vimeo Player, related kinds of open source or publically available players.
I am making web view app of a YouTube channel, but don't know how to remove YouTube search bar in web view .
I am doing this in android studio.
A better way is to use YouTube API through which you can efficiently load YouTube data.
WebView only loads the URL and you can't control the content inside of it.
As the docs mention
With the YouTube Data API, you can add a variety of YouTube features
to your application. Use the API to upload videos, manage playlists
and subscriptions, update channel settings, and more.
Also there are many samples available through which you can fetch the channels, videos, playlists etc.
How do I show the list of "DAILYMOTION" videos in android?
Also how do I play them?
I am able to play single video, but I now want to show more than 25 videos in a list.
How can I do this?
This is more works than supposed to be on a simple stackoverflow question!
You can:
list videos using Dailymotion API (documentation here https://developer.dailymotion.com/api)
and then play them using the Dailymotion video player. Here you'll find the documentation about the Android Player SDK: https://developer.dailymotion.com/tools/sdks#sdk-android that is a thin wrapper around a WebView that allows to easily embed Dailymotion videos into your Android application. You can check the source code, documentation and sample app on the GitHub repo: https://github.com/dailymotion/dailymotion-sdk-android/tree/master.
There even is a sample app that may help you get started! https://github.com/dailymotion/dailymotion-sdk-android/tree/master/SampleApp
I have a website which contains some videos (all videos are uploaded on youtube). Now i want to make an android app for retrieving/watching videos from this site (like youtube). So, which kind of layout I should use for video objects? Can these videos be displayed same like on youtube?
Please give me some suggestions.
Thank you!
yes you can, you have to work with youtube api for android so you can play the videos via youtube player here youtube and you can download all of your videos using a web service so you can access to your videos, you can you list view to show your videos, and you also can use custom list layout to make it more interested
I have a doubt about the ability to integrate youtube to my mobile application.
The mobile application should have a button for loading (by the user) video directly on youtube, on a dedicated channel. This channel will be created from my client. There is the possibility, through the bees, to integrate video upload directly to a specific youtube channel?
it's for android application.
Thanks a lot for the answer.
The most straightforward way to upload a video to YouTube in an Android application is to use the Intent exposed by the YouTube application. There's examples of doing this in other Stack Overflow questions, e.g. android youtube upload using intent
That being said, I wanted to point out that uploading videos into a single "master" account (which you seem to want to do, based on your question) isn't a good idea. This blog post explains why that is in more detail: http://apiblog.youtube.com/2012/02/video-uploads-from-your-sites-community.html
