I need to play youtube video and record video in the same layout.
To perform this I search for youtube api and found that android version need to be higher than 2.2
The following works for me:
code = FlsBObg-1BQ in your case.
You will get lots of urls, and I choose to return the best quality.
private String getRstpLinks(String code){
String[] urls = new String[3];
String link = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/" + code + "?alt=json";
String json = getJsonString(link); // here you request from the server
try {
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(json);
String entry = obj.getString("entry");
JSONObject enObj = new JSONObject(entry);
String group = enObj.getString("media$group");
JSONObject grObj = new JSONObject(group);
String content = grObj.getString("media$content");
JSONObject cntObj = new JSONObject(group);
JSONArray array = grObj.getJSONArray("media$content");
for(int j=0; j<array.length(); j++){
JSONObject thumbs = array.getJSONObject(j);
String url = thumbs.getString("url");
urls[j] = url;
Log.d(TAG, url);
//data.setThumbUrl(thumbUrl);
}
Log.v(TAG, content);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, e.toString());
urls[0] = urls[1] = urls[2] = null;
}
return urls[2];
}
getJsonString() method.
public static String getJsonString(String url){
Log.e("Request URL", url);
StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet( url );
HttpEntity entity = null;
try {
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
if( response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 200 ){
entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream is = entity.getContent();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
String line = null;
while( (line = br.readLine() )!= null ){
buffer.append(line);
}
br.close();
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
try {
entity.consumeContent();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Exception = " + e.toString() );
}
}
return buffer.toString();
}
Don't forget to wrap it inside async task because of a network request.
