Youtube video for a video view

Question

I need to pass a video through the link to inside my android app , I tried this code :

String video="http://www.youtube.com/embed/76JpysFZ2VM";
        Uri uri= Uri.parse(video);


        vid1.setVideoURI(uri);
        vid1.start();

I did not succeed. Someone could help me?

I need a code not too big and easy to understand!

Answer 1

Well after several attempts I found two ways to solve the problem one of the ways is to use the Youtube Android Player api , that there is installation of libraries and everything but is in my opinion the recommended.

I did not use because it involved some lines of code so I found that can be done through a Webview is here the example :

mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);
mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.youtube.com/embed/" + videoID + "?autoplay=1&vq=small");
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());

Answer 2

This is a specific class, that works, for this type of application. See how it works, in the comments and adapt to your code. Note that there are only 3 lines that make a video run correctly:

public class MeuVideoViewActivity extends Activity {
    private VideoView videoView;
    private MediaController mController;
    private Uri uriYouTube;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        //VideoView
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_video_view);
        videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
        mController = new MediaController(this);
        videoView.setMediaController(mController);
        videoView.requestFocus();

        /*
        CASO O VIDEO ESTEJA NO SEU DISPOSITIVO

        Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + this.getPackageName() + "/"
                + R.raw.sample);
        videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
        videoView.start();*/

        //Aproveitando o recarregamento anterior
        if (savedInstanceState != null) {
            int loc = savedInstanceState.getInt("Loc");
            Log.i("Localização: ", loc + "");
            uriYouTube = Uri.parse(savedInstanceState.getString("url"));
            videoView.setVideoURI(uriYouTube);
            videoView.seekTo(loc);
            videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
                @Override
                public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
                    Log.v("Preparação", "ok");
                    mp.start();
                }
            });
        } else {

            //Setando o link e iniciando o AsyncTask
            RTSPUrlTask truitonTask = new RTSPUrlTask();
            truitonTask.execute("http://www.youtube.com/embed/76JpysFZ2VM");
        }

    }

    //Função que starta o vídeo(SIMPLES COMO VOCÊ FEZ)

    void startPlaying(String url) {
        uriYouTube = Uri.parse(url);
        videoView.setVideoURI(uriYouTube);
        videoView.start();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
        super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
        outState.putInt("Loc", videoView.getCurrentPosition());
        outState.putString("url", uriYouTube.toString());
    }

    //Menus opcionais

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.video_view, menu);
        return true;
    }

    //Iniciando AsyncTask para rodar o vídeo em segundo plano

    private class RTSPUrlTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
            String response = getRTSPVideoUrl(urls[0]);

Put full network access (Internet) permission and read the external storage device on your AndroidManifest.xml:
