Answer 1

This was worked for me

public static String getYoutubeVideoId(String youtubeUrl) {
    String videoId = "";
    if (youtubeUrl != null && youtubeUrl.trim().length() > 0 && youtubeUrl.startsWith("http")) {

        String expression = "^.*((youtu.be"+ "/)" + "|(v/)|(/u/w/)|(embed/)|(watch\\?))\\??v?=?([^#&\\?]*).*"; // var regExp = /^.*((youtu.be\/)|(v\/)|(\/u\/\w\/)|(embed\/)|(watch\?))\??v?=?([^#\&\?]*).*/;
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(expression,Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(youtubeUrl);
        if (matcher.matches()) {
            String groupIndex1 = matcher.group(7);
            if(groupIndex1!=null && groupIndex1.length()==11)
                videoId = groupIndex1;
        }

    }
    return videoId;
}
