I'm using JSoup for scraping a website that includes embedded videos. Not every video is hosted in YouTube, they are hosted in different websites. How can I display those videos in my app?
I have not tried anything because I have no idea if it is even possible.
It would be fine if I can at least display a thumb image and when the user click on it, it would open the browser or the default video app.
Update: http://www.viddler.com this is where the videos are hosted. I'm doing some research to see if some how I can stream the videos to my app. But this is my first time trying something like this some everything looks a bit complicated.
This entirely depends on the video content provider. You can write logic to look at the urls determine the provider and get additional information like thumbnail and even video playback based on whether the provider provides a method to do so. This isn't specific to Android if you really think about it.

I have made an android app for someone else. The app has a gallery option that should show various photos. The person I am giving this app to has no programming knowledge. I would like to have a common place where the person can upload pics and they show automatically in the app and get updated for all the app users. And by "common place" I mean a site like google photos or something. I would not want users to have to authenticate or anything. Whenever they open the app, the photos should get downloaded from the site. Which web service allows me to do this?
I would think a lot of photo sites would allow you to do this. I've done it in the past with Flickr and PHP, so I imagine it could be done using Android/Java.
Having said that, there's likely to be a lot more you need to consider. Photo sites have various terms of service, copyright agreements, and other important things you'll want to tell your client about before blindly deciding on a service just because it allows you to accomplish this task.

I want to know whether is it possible that if i create an android app using html, then later if i want to update the pages of that app i can do it from an online resource and not give an apk update notification to the user.
Is something like that even possible?? Something BookMyShow app where we never get an update and the pages are updated automatically.
Please Help! Thanks in Advance!
For your requirement webview may be useful... create and host your web pages on the server and in webview use url of your website... and make sure that your website design is responsive... by using this u can make changes to pages without new updates to apk

This is my android app :
My media player can play YouTube videos if we give HTTP URL. So I can launch YouTube app on a button Click. It's working fine.
Requirement:
After user tapping on video, I want to close that YouTube app and get the downloadable URL of that video. How can I do that? Is there any tutorials for that? If this is not possible kindly suggest me possible ways. Thank You.
YouTube Android Player API
The YouTube Android Player API enables you to incorporate video playback functionality into your Android applications. The API defines methods for loading and playing YouTube videos (and playlists) and for customizing and controlling the video playback experience.
This page has a getting started at the end of the page which will help you.

I want to create Android app, that will enable users to stream in real time audio and video from their phone to specified server. In addition, that server should save such recording to some file, to view it latter, but now it's not so important.
My question is: are there any simple or well documented ways of streaming video to remote server (not via wi-fi, I guess it can be important info)
I'm not sure how well Android handles WebRTC currently but I recommend you check it out! It uses Web-Protocols alongside Javascript/HTML5 components to stream-video/audio in real-time via the web-browser. I use it in 2 of my projects for similar applications. The only thing that differentiates is that you are wanting to store the video on your server.I'm guessing would also be possible but I haven't tried it! You can find all the documentation here.

one of the default live wallpapers that came with my phone was a wallpaper that displayed the wave form of music playing in the background in real time. I was wondering how one could go about doing this. It seems I should somehow access the streaming data of the background music and compute the samples in real time, but I have no idea how to get the streaming data. I think I can display the wave form by following this tutorial http://codeidol.com/java/swing/Audio/Build-an-Audio-Waveform-Display/, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. Help would be greatly appreciated/
There is an Android class called Visualizer that lets you access audio being played

In addition, since Android is all open source, you can look at how the live wallpaper does it!
