Video View Not Playing Youtube Video

I am trying to play a youtube video in a Video View. I have laid out the xml like this: Copy

Also, this address can be obtained from YouTube API. For example, from here: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/phonedog/uploads

Solution 2:

While not an explicit answer I believe you need to launch an intent with a YouTube URL and let the OS handle it. That is, I don't think you can embed YouTube videos directly into your activities though I would love to be proven wrong.

Solution 3:

Android webview and videoviews do not support play back of youtube videos in my experience.
