[Android]Downloading a youtube video - android

I am trying to Download a Video as explained in:
Can’t download youtube video
and
How does a YouTube movie downloader work? - YouTube
but it seems this method does not work anymore.
How can I download the .flv from Youtube today? Is there a method to save the movie after I watched it, without downloading again?
Does anybody have a working exmaple? (Is the best way to learn)
Thanks in advance,
Adrian.

Userscripts.org has some scripts that enable downloading and viewing without flash. I haven't tried it, but OilCan is supposed to run Greasemonkey scripts on Android.

How to get video thumbnail (frame) from live video url

I have video uploaded on server. which is trailer of movie. I can play this video direct to my videoView with the help of live url. My question: is there any method in android which help me out to get a video frame from url without download the video to local storage. I know one method name "createvideothumbnail" but it will not work in my case. because i need to get the video thumbnail without download the whole video. as you have seen the mechanism is implemented in imdb official app (Trailer section).
Please help, thanks in advance
Getting thumbnails without download the complete video is not possible until now (API Level 22) i´m pretty sure that the application that you describe load thumbnails that were created previously.
the current option would be using the class:
import android.provider.MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails;
or create the thumbnails in a separated process.

Unable to stream YouTube Url in VLC android

I have already integrated VLC player in my android app in Linux environment.But now the issue is when i try to play the YouTube link .It Unable to stream the YouTube URL and the concerned g-data ".3gp" URL.The error is mentioned below.
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq1gNicFkeM can not be played." in Toast.
Does anyone have any idea on the same?
I have found a temporary solution.I'm not an expert, but this did the trick for me:
Find a website which can download youtube video's (I suggest keepvid.com)
Paste the url of your youtube video into the designated bar and, although we are not downloading anything, hit the Download button.
Now the website gives you a list with different formats for you to choose from. RIGHT-click the one on top (mp4?) and copy the link's adress.
This link can be played in VLC Android and includes your youtube video.
VLC for Android does not support the lua plugins needed to parse the YT URL.
You need to parse the HTML layout yourself (and feed the resulting URL to VLC) or add support for lua plugins to VLC for Android to solve this issue.

Caching and Playing video

The requirement is to list a Videos thumbnails and on clicking it should play related video into Application. i am able to play url where video is located using Video View. But now i want to implement this thing in a better ways like Watsapp and instagram. If anybody have a good experience in this reference please share with me. I want to play around caching video and playing videos from cache without buffering (Video view is showing buffering bar and very slow in performance user have to wait a lot for starting a Video). Any kind of help will be appreciated. thanks.
I did it own my own. It's very simple to implement What i do is to download the video with async task along with a progressing seek bar. Once it's downloaded i'll save it in a Folder in my sdcard. We should create a Folder named as Application name so easy to identify and also always available videos with out opening application as well and next time however when i want to watch video again in my application it just check weather it is available in sdcard if yes then play immediately if not then download it. I am happy.

Progressive Streaming Videoplayer

I am developing an application in which I have a list of videos to be downloaded from the URLs. Each video is of about 10 min duration. Now, what I want is that the video is downloaded progressively in background and similarly displaying the downloaded video as like in Youtube.
I have tried using VideoView but it cant succeed.
So is it possible to do such with help of android's VideoView?
Thanks in advance.
