Since posting a simple blog article in the fall of 2009 about how to render YouTube videos in an Android application, I've gotten a steady stream of developers downloading and using the Activity. Since I don't have time to support the component myself, I've recently created a Google Code project as well as a Google Group for discussions. My hope is that this will allow those that are interested to fix bugs and continue to evolve the software as a community. There is decent support in Android for media, including video. If you're looking for an Activity that does the following, then the OpenYouTubePlayerActivity may be right for you:
If you answered yes to these questions, then YouTube is a likely candidate for hosting your videos, and the OpenYouTubePlayerActivity could very well be the mechanism that you're looking for to render those videos in your app. Feel free to use the component however you wish (it's licensed under Apache 2.0). Please send patches or updates so that everyone can benefit! If you want to be a contributor, just let me know... |
