I have the code for integrating YouTube videos in android.
What I want is to create a listview which lists different channels, and when user clicks on a channel it shows all the videos for that channel. By this way when a new video is loaded in a channel it will automatically be available in my app also.
Is it possible to integrate YouTube channel in android?
Yes! Check out the Android Youtube Player API and the YouTube API.
Android Player:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/
YouTube API:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/
YouTube Player API Sample: (sample folder in zip)
https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/downloads/
EDIT
The Data API lets you get information about videos in a channel, you can then use that info to construct your list of videos and update it accordingly.
For example, the following would retrieve the latest videos from a channel:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key={your_key_here}&channelId={channel_id_here}&part=snippet,id&order=date&maxResults=20
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/
Good Luck!

I want to be able to show YouTube videos in my app with related videos only coming from my channel. This can be implemented via the YouTube Iframe API by setting the parameter "rel=0".
Is there any way to achieve this same behavior using the YouTube Android API Player API?
(API for reference https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/reference/com/google/android/youtube/player/YouTubePlayer)
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.
What is the best way to play a Youtube Video in my Android app ? I want to play the video in my app, and not in youtube's app.
I make some search with the VideoView, but it seems that it's obsolete now...
Have you some examples ?
Thanks
Download the Youtube Api Demo App, it shows how to use the Youtube Player API and the different ways to reproduce videos (using a YouTubePlayerView, using YoutubePlayerFragment, etc). However, it only shows how to display a video when you already know the id of the video.
If you want to search for a video and then display it. Then you need to learn how to use the Youtube Data Api. Here is an example of a request which returns a JSON response (just click "execute").
To use the Data Api from Android, you can use an HttpURLConnection object, or use the Youtube Data Api Client Library, that's up to you.
Once you have retrieved the video's data from the Youtube Data Api. Use the Youtube Player Api to display the videos.
I want to use YouTube Data API V3 in my application to do the following:
Retrieve the playlists in my YouTube channel.
Retrieve a the list of videos in each playlist.
Now I'm confused, which SDK shall I use the Client Library for Java (works on Android)
or shall I use the Android Player APIs, but it seems that it does not provide retrieving the playlists info, it just plays videos within the app.
or can I use the REST APIs and parse the responses manually ?
would you please recommend a method ?
Thanks
You want to use the YouTube Data API v3. This will work on Android. The Player API is for playing YouTube videos in your views. If you want to fetch playlist information and play videos, you would use both in your application.
