YouTube allows you to play it’s video in your app<\/a> using the\u00a0youtube player. It also provides data APIs to put like, dislike, or rate comments on a video.<\/p>\n

To integrate youtube player you need API key from google console and you can get it using following steps:<\/p>\n

1. Get SHA1 fingerprint first by executing “keytool -list -v -keystore ~\/.android\/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android” command on terminal.<\/p>\n

2. Now visit the\u00a0Developer console<\/a> and create credential -> API key under the credentials section.<\/p>\n

\"console2\"<\/p>\n

3. Get Android API key by passing your package name and SHA1 fingerprint that you got in step 1.<\/p>\n

Now download the zip file available at this link Download Youtube Player<\/a>.
\nExtract youtubeAndroidplayer.jar from the\u00a0zip folder and put that in the libs folder of your project.<\/p>\n

Open your activity class (let’s say YoutubeVideoPlayerActivity.java), the activity should extend\u00a0from YouTubeBaseActivity, which will be present in YouTubeAndroidPlayerApi.jar. This activity also contains few initialization listener methods to know the status of the youtube player.<\/p>\n

[sourcecode language=”java”]<\/p>\n

public class YouTubePlayerActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener {<\/p>\n

private static final int RECOVERY_REQUEST = 1;
\nprivate YouTubePlayerView youTubeView;
\nVideoView videoView;
\nprivate String videoId;<\/p>\n

@Override
\nprotected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
\nsuper.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
\nsetContentView(R.layout.activity_main);<\/p>\n

videoId = "fhWaJi1Hsfo";<\/p>\n

youTubeView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_view);
\nyouTubeView.initialize(Config.YOUTUBE_API_KEY, this);
\n}<\/p>\n

@Override
\nprotected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
\nif (requestCode == RECOVERY_REQUEST) {
\n\/\/ Retry initialization if user performed a recovery action
\ngetYouTubePlayerProvider().initialize(Config.YOUTUBE_API_KEY, this);
\n}
\n}<\/p>\n

private YouTubePlayer.Provider getYouTubePlayerProvider() {
\nreturn youTubeView;
\n}<\/p>\n

@Override
\npublic boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
\nreturn super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
\n}<\/p>\n

@Override
\npublic boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
\nreturn super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
\n}<\/p>\n

@Override
\npublic void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean wasRestored) {
\nif (!wasRestored) {
\nyouTubePlayer.cueVideo(videoId); \/\/ Plays https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fhWaJi1Hsfo
\n}
\n}<\/p>\n

@Override
\npublic void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubeInitializationResult errorReason) {<\/p>\n

if (errorReason.isUserRecoverableError()) {
\nerrorReason.getErrorDialog(this, RECOVERY_REQUEST).show();
\n} else {
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 String error = String.format(getString(R.string.player_error), errorReason.toString());
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Toast.makeText(this, error, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
\n}<\/p>\n

}<\/p>\n

}<\/p>\n

[\/sourcecode]<\/p>\n

In the above activity, you need to replace YOUTUBE_API_KEY with your API key you got from your console and videoId <\/span>with the id of the\u00a0video you want to play in your player.<\/p>\n

In your XML file put YouTubePlayerView to play video:<\/p>\n

[sourcecode language=”java”]
\n<com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
\nandroid:id="@+id\/youtube_view"
\nandroid:layout_width="match_parent"
\nandroid:layout_height="wrap_content"\/>;
\n[\/sourcecode]<\/p>\n

Also, you will need internet permission in your manifest file<\/p>\n

[sourcecode language=”java”]
\nuses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET";
\n[\/sourcecode]<\/p>\n

After running the app, your youtube player will look like:<\/p>\n

\"scrrenshot_youtube\"<\/p>\n

To like and dislike a video you need to call the following ‘GET’ youtube APIs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To like a video-
\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

To dislike a video-
\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, to get video statistics such as total number of likes, dislikes, or view count:
