CzarMatt nailed it. Just to add to his answer though, don't forget you need to call the init() method. To do so follow CzarMatt's code and add one line:

public static PlayerYouTubeFrag newInstance(String url) {    
    PlayerYouTubeFrag playerYouTubeFrag = new PlayerYouTubeFrag();

    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putString("url", url);

    playerYouTubeFrag.setArguments(bundle);

    playerYouTubeFrag.init(); //This line right here

    return playerYouTubeFrag;
}

Also, since I'm sure people will run into the same issue I did, even though CzarMatt mentioned it above, just to reiterate, when you pass in a URL for the video, you are NOT passing in the youtube URL

That is, with: "youtube.com/watch?v=z7PYqhABiSo&feature=youtu.be"

You are passing in only the video ID

I.e. use: "z7PYqhABiSo"

Since it is Google's own documentation, it knows how to play it just fine with the id.
