Create a new Activity, for your player(fullscreen) screen with menu options.
Run the mediaplayer and UI in different threads.
For playing media - In general to play audio/video there is mediaplayer api in android.
FILE_PATH is the path of file - may be url(youtube) stream or local file path
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource(FILE_PATH);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();
after finding , video id , you can put that id in cueVideo("video_id")
src -> com -> examples -> youtubeapidemo -> PlayerViewDemoActivity
@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player , boolean wasRestored) {
if (!wasRestored) {
player.cueVideo("wKJ9KzGQq0w");
}
}
And specially for reading that video_id in a better way open this , and it as a xml[1st_file] file in your desktop after it create a new Xml file in your project or upload that[1st_file] saved file in your project , and right_click in it , and open it with xml_editor file , here you will find the video id of the particular video .
Google has a YouTube Android Player API that enables you to incorporate video playback functionality into your Android applications. The API itself is very easy to use and works well. For example, here is how to create a new activity to play a video using the API.
WebView mWebView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.video_webview);
mWebView=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.videoview);
//build your own src link with your video ID
String videoStr = "<html><body>Promo video<br><iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/47yJ2XCRLZs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe></body></html>";
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
return false;
}
});
WebSettings ws = mWebView.getSettings();
ws.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadData(videoStr, "text/html", "utf-8");
}
//video_webview
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
android:layout_marginRight="0dp"
android:background="#000000"
android:id="@+id/bmp_programme_ll"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<WebView
android:id="@+id/videoview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
This worked just how I wanted it. It doesn't autoplay but the video streams within my app. Worth noting that some restricted videos won't play when embedded.
