You can play youtube video in your application.There is no need to add third party library or other API.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
VideoView videoView;
String videoUrl;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoView);
new YourAsyncTask().execute();
}
- First of all create one android project named "VideoViewTube".
- You need to add VideoView component in your xml file.Open activity_main.xml and add following code:
activity_main.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:minWidth="854dip"
android:minHeight="480dip"
>
<VideoView
android:id="@+id/videoView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:minHeight="480dip"
android:minWidth="854dip" />
</LinearLayout>
- If your internet speed is low then It will take some time to play youtube video,Between buffering time and playing time your application UI may freeze.
- To resolve this issue use Async Task (AsyncTask Tutorial).
- Open MainActivity.java file and create MyAsyncTask class in below onCreate() method.
- MyAsyncTask class extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>,Write following code in MyAsyncTask class.
private class YourAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>
{
ProgressDialog progressDialog;
@Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
super.onPreExecute();
progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(MainActivity.this, "", "Loading Video wait...", true);
}
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params)
{
try
{
String url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtLa7wDpuOU";
videoUrl = getUrlVideoRTSP(url);
Log.e("Video url for playing=========>>>>>", videoUrl);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Log.e("Login Soap Calling in Exception", e.toString());
}
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result)
{
super.onPostExecute(result);
progressDialog.dismiss();
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(videoUrl));
MediaController mc = new MediaController(MainActivity.this);
videoView.setMediaController(mc);
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
mc.show();
}
}
- Now you get one error in getUrlVideoRTSP(url).It is because youtube video is RTSP type videos RTSP means Real Time Streaming Protocol.We need to get Video URL from RTSP.
- Add following two methods below MyAsyncTask class. getUrlVideoRTSP(String urlYoutube); and extractYoutubeId(String url);
public static String getUrlVideoRTSP(String urlYoutube)
{
try
{
String gdy = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/";
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
String id = extractYoutubeId(urlYoutube);
URL url = new URL(gdy + id);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
Document doc = documentBuilder.parse(connection.getInputStream());
Element el = doc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList list = el.getElementsByTagName("media:content");///media:content
String cursor = urlYoutube;
for (int i = 0; i < list.getLength(); i++)
{
Node node = list.item(i);
if (node != null)
{
NamedNodeMap nodeMap = node.getAttributes();
HashMap<String, String> maps = new HashMap<String, String>();
for (int j = 0; j < nodeMap.getLength(); j++)
{
Attr att = (Attr) nodeMap.item(j);
maps.put(att.getName(), att.getValue());
}
if (maps.containsKey("yt:format"))
{
String f = maps.get("yt:format");
if (maps.containsKey("url"))
{
cursor = maps.get("url");
}
if (f.equals("1"))
return cursor;
}
}
}
return cursor;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Log.e("Get Url Video RTSP Exception======>>", ex.toString());
}
return urlYoutube;
}
protected static String extractYoutubeId(String url) throws MalformedURLException { String id = null;
try
{
String query = new URL(url).getQuery();
if (query != null)
{
String[] param = query.split("&");
for (String row : param)
{
String[] param1 = row.split("=");
if (param1[0].equals("v"))
{
id = param1[1];
}
}
}
else
{
if (url.contains("embed"))
{
id = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Log.e("Exception", ex.toString());
}
return id;
}
try
{
String query = new URL(url).getQuery();
if (query != null)
{
String[] param = query.split("&");
for (String row : param)
{
String[] param1 = row.split("=");
if (param1[0].equals("v"))
{
id = param1[1];
}
}
}
else
{
if (url.contains("embed"))
{
id = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Log.e("Exception", ex.toString());
}
return id;
}
- Now just define VideoView and call AsyncTask Class in onCreate() Method.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
VideoView videoView;
String videoUrl;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoView);
new YourAsyncTask().execute();
}
- At last write onPause method in bottom of MainActivity.java class
public void onPause ()
{
super.onPause();
videoView.stopPlayback();
}
