Did you add YouTube Android Player API to your library? Adding that fixed the issue for me..Try adding the same by following the steps given below :
1.Download YouTube Android Player API jar file from https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/downloads/
2.Extract the zip file, go to libs -> YouTubeAndroidPlayerApi.jar and copy it
3.Paste the jar file to /app/libs/ directory in android studio
Finally add compile files('libs/YouTubeAndroidPlayerApi.jar') to your app level build.gradle file
Sync,build and check if it works fine

Did you generate api key for android youtube player?
Link: https://console.developers.google.com
If yes, you must to change "API KEY " in this youtubeplayerview.initialize("API KEY",onInitializedListener); by your api key that you generated before.
Anyway, you can try to replace you class by this class with YoutubeDeveloperKey is the key you generated :
public class ActivityPlayYouTube extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements
YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener {
private YouTubePlayer YPlayer;
private static final String YoutubeDeveloperKey = "YOUR_DEVELOPER_KEY_GOES_HERE";
private static final int RECOVERY_DIALOG_REQUEST = 1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_playyoutube);
YouTubePlayerView youTubeView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_view);
youTubeView.initialize(YoutubeDeveloperKey, this);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
//getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.you_tube_api, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
YouTubeInitializationResult errorReason) {
if (errorReason.isUserRecoverableError()) {
errorReason.getErrorDialog(this, RECOVERY_DIALOG_REQUEST).show();
} else {
String errorMessage = String.format(
"There was an error initializing the YouTubePlayer",
errorReason.toString());
Toast.makeText(this, errorMessage, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == RECOVERY_DIALOG_REQUEST) {
// Retry initialization if user performed a recovery action
getYouTubePlayerProvider().initialize(YoutubeDeveloperKey, this);
}
}
protected YouTubePlayer.Provider getYouTubePlayerProvider() {
return (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_view);
}
#Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(Provider provider,
YouTubePlayer player, boolean wasRestored) {
if (!wasRestored) {
YPlayer = player;
/*
* Now that this variable YPlayer is global you can access it
* throughout the activity, and perform all the player actions like
* play, pause and seeking to a position by code.
*/
YPlayer.cueVideo("2zNSgSzhBfM");
}
}
}

YouTubePlayer api issue

I play video in MainActivityand video is playig fine. While playing video, if I open the same activity another time and come back to previous MainActivity youtube progressbar keeps turning and nothing happens. I read the documentation and couldn't find anything related this problem. Indeed, the documentation is very old (updated in 2015), and YouTubeAndroidPlayerApi library was updated in 2017. Guide me to right direction.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity
implements YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener {
private String YOUTUBE_API_KEY = "api_key";
private YouTubePlayerView youtubePlayerView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
super.onCreate(bundle);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
youtubePlayerView = findViewById(R.id.youtubePlayer);
youtubePlayerView.initialize(YOUTUBE_API_KEY, this);
}
#Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean b) {
Log.w("youtube_activity", "onInitialization success");
youTubePlayer.loadVideo("0KSOMA3QBU0");
}
#Override
public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubeInitializationResult youTubeInitializationResult) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Initialization failure", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
}
public void onClick(View view) {
startActivity(new Intent(this, MainActivity.class));
}
}

Found solution with releasing YouTubePlayer when going to another youtubeplayeractivity. When came back to previous youtubeplayeractivity reninitialized YouTubePlayerView.
public void onClick(View view) {
youTubePlayer.release();
startActivity(new Intent(this, MainActivity.class));
}
#Override
protected void onRestart() {
super.onRestart();
youtubePlayerView.initialize(YOUTUBE_API_KEY, this);
}

How to disable clicks on YouTubePlayerView?

I want to implement YouTube Player View on my app, but since my app is an alarm clock, i don't want the user to be able to pause/stop the video or to change the volume. I tried to put a view on the YouTube Player View to block the clicks on it, but i guess that it's against the google policy because when i do that the video is not playing. I also tried:
<com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
android:id="#+id/ypvAlert"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/half_activity_vertical_margin"
android:layout_marginBottom="#dimen/standard_button_size"
android:clickable="false" />
But it's not working. Is there something i can do?
With this solution, you can disable click events on a view and all its children by setting enable to false with view.setEnabled(false) for each child. Call it in onInitializationSuccess callback :
#Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean b) {
enableDisableView(mYoutubeplayerView, false);
mPlayer = youTubePlayer;
mPlayer.setPlayerStyle(YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.MINIMAL);
mPlayer.loadVideo("63kmMcHBQlA");
}
Here is a complete working example :
public class MainActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener {
String mApiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
YouTubePlayerView mYoutubeplayerView;
YouTubePlayer mPlayer;
/**
* disable all click event : https://stackoverflow.com/a/19464718/2614364 by Parag Chauhan
*
* #param view
* #param enabled
*/
public static void enableDisableView(View view, boolean enabled) {
view.setEnabled(enabled);
if (view instanceof ViewGroup) {
ViewGroup group = (ViewGroup) view;
for (int idx = 0; idx < group.getChildCount(); idx++) {
enableDisableView(group.getChildAt(idx), enabled);
}
}
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mYoutubeplayerView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.ypvAlert);
mYoutubeplayerView.initialize(mApiKey, this);
}
#Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean b) {
enableDisableView(mYoutubeplayerView, false);
mPlayer = youTubePlayer;
mPlayer.setPlayerStyle(YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.MINIMAL);
mPlayer.loadVideo("63kmMcHBQlA");
}
#Override
public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
YouTubeInitializationResult youTubeInitializationResult) {
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, final Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
mPlayer.release();
}
}
}
just add this line
youTubePlayer.setPlayerStyle(YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.MINIMAL);

Making a perfect Chromeless Youtube Player in Android

What i created while making CHROMELESS youtube player view is here. It is loading and playing perfectly but the buffering circle plays continuously even when video gets completed. Can anyone help me to remove buffering progress when it is not required and make a perfect youtube player?

YOUTUBE_API_KEY = "PLACE_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE";
youTubeView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_view);
youTubeView.initialize(YOUTUBE_API_KEY, this);

activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
android:id="#+id/youtube_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</RelativeLayout>
In your onInitializationSuccess(), set a PlaybackEventListener on the player. Override the onBuffering() and do something like this:
ViewGroup ytView = youTubeView; // if you are using YouTubePlayerView
ViewGroup ytView = (ViewGroup)ytPlayerFragment.getView(); // if you are using YouTubePlayerFragment
ProgressBar progressBar;
try {
// As of 2016-02-16, the ProgressBar is at position 0 -> 3 -> 2 in the view tree of the Youtube Player Fragment/View
ViewGroup child1 = (ViewGroup)ytView.getChildAt(0);
ViewGroup child2 = (ViewGroup)child1.getChildAt(3);
progressBar = (ProgressBar)child2.getChildAt(2);
} catch (Throwable t) {
// As its position may change, we fallback to looking for it
progressBar = findProgressBar(ytView);
// I recommend reporting this problem so that you can update the code in the try branch: direct access is more efficient than searching for it
}
int visibility = isBuffering ? View.VISIBLE : View.INVISIBLE;
if (progressBar != null) {
progressBar.setVisibility(visibility);
// Note that you could store the ProgressBar instance somewhere from here, and use that later instead of accessing it again.
}
Make method like this one:
private ProgressBar findProgressBar(View view) {
if (view instanceof ProgressBar) {
return (ProgressBar)view;
} else if (view instanceof ViewGroup) {
ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup)view;
for (int i = 0; i < viewGroup.getChildCount(); i++) {
ProgressBar res = findProgressBar(viewGroup.getChildAt(i));
if (res != null) return res;
}
}
return null
}
By this way you can enable progress when it is buffering and disable it when it is not.

AppCompatActivity crashing with embedded YouTube videos

For some reason, AppCompatActivity refuses to let me embed Youtube videos even though I am using the SupportFragment activity. The app crashes every time an activity contains a Youtube fragment. How can I fix this?
public class Insane1x1 extends AppCompatActivity implements YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener {
public static final String API_KEY = "AIzaSyBqaaaaaaa";
public static final String VIDEO_ID = "3MvnRsItEmg"; //1-1
//private YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer;
private YouTubePlayerSupportFragment youTubePlayerFragment;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_insane1x1);
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.hide();
youTubePlayerFragment = (YouTubePlayerSupportFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.youtubeplayerfragment);
youTubePlayerFragment.initialize(API_KEY, this);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.insane1x1, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
#Override
public void onInitializationFailure(Provider provider,
YouTubeInitializationResult result) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"YouTubePlayer.onInitializationFailure()",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player,
boolean wasRestored) {
//youTubePlayer = player;
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"YouTubePlayer.onInitializationSuccess()",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
if (!wasRestored) {
player.cueVideo(VIDEO_ID);
}
}
And here's the xml file:
<fragment
android:name="com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerSupportFragment"
android:id="#+id/youtubeplayerfragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
Is it the YouTubePlayer that is crashing the app, when it is cuing the video in the onInitializationSuccess method??
I think it's cz its not extending "YouTubeBaseActivity", for some reason though YouTubeBaseActivity doesn't have as much functionality as AppCompatActivity. Maybe there are newer versions. But I'dd say thats the problem.

cant access you tube Api in android

i m using following code to access youtube but on run time it is giving "class not found exception" i already added all Jar's reqiured
String developer_key="my Key";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{ super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
YouTubeService service = new YouTubeService( developer_key);
}
It's no longer that simple.
You must first create your UX element (YouTubePlayerView, YouTubePlayerFragment, YouTubeStandalonePlayer, etc), then you send the initialize message to it.
From the YouTube Android API Demo App PlayerViewDemoActivity.java:
/**
* A simple YouTube Android API demo application which shows how to create a simple application that
* displays a YouTube Video in a {#link YouTubePlayerView}.
* <p>
* Note, to use a {#link YouTubePlayerView}, your activity must extend {#link YouTubeBaseActivity}.
*/
public class PlayerViewDemoActivity extends YouTubeFailureRecoveryActivity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.playerview_demo);
YouTubePlayerView youTubeView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_view);
youTubeView.initialize(DeveloperKey.DEVELOPER_KEY, this);
}
#Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player,
boolean wasRestored) {
if (!wasRestored) {
player.loadVideo("wKJ9KzGQq0w");
}
}
#Override
protected YouTubePlayer.Provider getYouTubePlayerProvider() {
return (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_view);
}
}
From YouTubeFailureRecoveryActivity.java:
/**
* An abstract activity which deals with recovering from errors which may occur during API
* initialization, but can be corrected through user action.
*/
public abstract class YouTubeFailureRecoveryActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements
YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener {
private static final int RECOVERY_DIALOG_REQUEST = 1;
#Override
public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
YouTubeInitializationResult errorReason) {
if (errorReason.isUserRecoverableError()) {
errorReason.getErrorDialog(this, RECOVERY_DIALOG_REQUEST).show();
} else {
String errorMessage = String.format(getString(R.string.error_player), errorReason.toString());
Toast.makeText(this, errorMessage, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == RECOVERY_DIALOG_REQUEST) {
// Retry initialization if user performed a recovery action
getYouTubePlayerProvider().initialize(DeveloperKey.DEVELOPER_KEY, this);
}
}
protected abstract YouTubePlayer.Provider getYouTubePlayerProvider();
}
