How To Play A Video With The Youtube Api Using Youtubeplayerfragment?

I'm trying to play video in my Fragment. However, I cannot get it to work. If I'm extending 'YoutubeFailureRecovery' I get: 09-06 21:56:40.472: E/AndroidRuntime(4946): Caused by:

Solution 1:

The YouTubePlayerView only works with an Activity that extends YouTubeBaseActivity.

If you want to use Fragments you have to use the YoutubePlayerFragment / SupportFragment.

You can for example create your custom Fragment that inherits from YoutubePlayerSupportFragment:

publicclassVideoFragmentextendsYouTubePlayerSupportFragment {

    publicVideoFragment() { }

    publicstaticVideoFragmentnewInstance(String url) {

        VideoFragment f = newVideoFragment();

        Bundle b = newBundle();
        b.putString("url", url);

        f.setArguments(b);
        f.init();

        return f;
    }

    privatevoidinit() {

        initialize("yourapikey", newOnInitializedListener() {

            @OverridepublicvoidonInitializationFailure(Provider arg0, YouTubeInitializationResult arg1) { }

            @OverridepublicvoidonInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player, boolean wasRestored) {
                if (!wasRestored) { 
                    player.cueVideo(getArguments().getString("url"));
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

In code it could look like this:

VideoFragmentf= VideoFragment.newInstance("your-video-url");   
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container, f).commit();

The "fragment_container" in this case should be an empty FrameLayout.
