Android YouTube Integration Example

YouTube Integration

• Create Application

First step in registering application is create a new application developer console. 

So, go to Google Developer Console. Create a new project, named YoutubeVideo.

Enable YouTube API




To use API, first you need to enable them in the dashboard. 

So, click on the Enable and manage APIs.

This will redirect you to list of all the Google APIs. Here, click on the YouTube Data API to enable YouTube API for your project.














In the resulting screen, click on Enable button which will enable the API andwill ask you to create credentials for your application.

After enabling the API, you need to create the credentials to authenticate app. To create credentials,
click on Go To Credentials button in the dashboard.

This will redirect you to create Android Key form.

Download Library



First step in integrating YouTube Player API is downloading the YouTube Android Player API Library. Use YouTube
Android Player API link to download
the latest library and move it to app’s libs folder. Now, you need to add the
library as application dependency. To do so, open app’s build.gradle file and add the below line as
dependency :




androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.5'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:25.2.0'
