How to upload video to youtube in android?

Question

I am Creating an application which records video and uploads it on YouTube and others Social sites.

For upload I use Droid share functionality and it works good.

In e-mail, Facebook, Skype, etc upload works perfect, but when I select YouTube, it does not upload my video.

Here is the code I use for video sharing.

Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"SUBJECT_NAME");
sharingIntent.setType("video/*");
File newFile = new File(video_path);
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,Uri.fromFile(newFile));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent,"Where you want to share?"));

Answer 1

Try this code.

ContentValues content = new ContentValues(4);
content.put(Video.VideoColumns.DATE_ADDED,
System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000);
content.put(Video.Media.MIME_TYPE, "video/mp4");
content.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA, "video_path");
ContentResolver resolver = getBaseContext().getContentResolver();
Uri uri = resolver.insert(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, content);

Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Title");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent,"share:")); 

this code is add in your share button's onClick() method and get result. pass the value in EXTRA_STREAM as an URI not as file.

I don't have enough reputation to comment, but I lost an hour or so trying to get user2126788's code to work because I forgot to set the type on the intent.

sharingIntent.setType("video/*");

Answer 3

please add this line in android manifest

     <intent-filter>
     <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
     <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />              
     <data android:host="www.youtube.com" android:mimeType="text/*" /> 
     </intent-filter>

            content.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA, "your_path_to_video");
            ContentResolver resolver = getBaseContext().getContentResolver();
            Uri uri = resolver.insert(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, content);

Another good solution is to implement your own upload mechanism without leaving your app. You can use Google Java and Android libraries with YouTube java libraries.
