Answer 1

You can try using my library, youtube-dl-android, which lets you to easily extract video link from 1000+ sites including YouTube, Facebook, etc.

Step 1: Add jitpack repository to your project build file

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Step 2: Add the dependency

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.bawaviki.youtube-dl-android:library:0.7.+'
}

Step 3: Use Youtube-dl instance

YoutubeDLRequest request = new YoutubeDLRequest("http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxx");
request.setOption("-o", youtubeDLDir.getAbsolutePath() + "/%(title)s.%(ext)s");
YoutubeDL.getInstance().execute(request, (progress, etaInSeconds) -> {
    System.out.println(String.valueOf(progress) + "% (ETA " + String.valueOf(etaInSeconds) + " seconds)");
});
