Download capability is only provided to PRO members requesting their own videos, from their own API app.

Video link of unlisted youtube video

I am developing an android application that streams and shows a couple of videos. Instead of storing videos on my server, I thought uploading them to youtube as unlisted, and getting them from youtube is a great idea. After getting the video, I want to show them in default android video player, not in youtube app or web view.
I don't have any problem when I put videos in my server (for example www.mysite.com/video.mp4), but is there any way to get the url of a youtube video?
You can upload the videos using the YouTube Data API v3:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/insert
And setting the status.privacyStatus as unlisted
Then you can use the YouTube Android Player API to include the Video Player on your own Android App
https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/
To play a video, you only need the video ID, not the full url..
eg:
player.loadVideo("wKJ9KzGQq0w");

VideoView or WebView in YouTube Android App

Now this is a really stupid one! Forgive me on this question please but I really don't know the answer to it. My question is What have Youtube used to play videos intheir Android app? I mean is it a WebView or Just a simple VideoView? I used VideoView to play videos from the URL associated with them but it doesn't look as nice as YouTube's VideoView (or whatever it is)
And is there any other option to play videos from a URL other than using the code below? Because it just plays video in the native video player. If the red-marked portion in the image below is a VideoView, how does it look better than the normal VideoView? Or is it a WebView? Which one is a better option (in terms of UI) to play video from a URL? I'm using GingerBread and want to play mp4 or .flv videos in a VideoView or WebView (whichever is the better option, preferably like Android's YouTube app)
Uri data = Uri.parse(movieurl);
intent.setDataAndType(data,"video/3gpp");
startActivity(intent);
