One cannot depend upon access to Youtube, but it's a very common feature request, and the Youtube player is preloaded. It is dangerous to use it, because it is undocumented.
Is there a preferred or standard way to load a youtube video? Is it better to send an intent to view a youtube url, giving the youtube app the option over riding the behavior? Should the url be to the regular youtube page, an internal link to the video, or a link to the mobile page? Youtube could also detect the device server side and serve appropriate content to the web browser, including a link to their app. -MK On May 24, 5:00 am, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > zohar lerman wrote: > > I hold youtube url (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg) and i > > want to show it directly in youtube player without opening the browser > > first? > > Note that if Google wanted you to access the YouTube player directly, > they would have documented it here: > > http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app-intents.html > > -- > Mark Murphy (a Commons > Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy > > Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > For more options, visit this group > athttp://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
