How to play YouTube video in app using YouTube API V3

 

We can play YouTube video using WebView but this method is not working well because our app got high space on RAM that was the reason of developing YouTube API.

API has several versions but we can use V3 this version is latest and it has a lot of new feature like we can play video horizontally and we can play without using listener.

Steps

First step is to create a google account. Everyone know that how to create a google account so I cannot explain this.

Second step is Download Youtube api from developer website. Link

Third step is click on android and then select project.

Fourth step is to paste that library in libs folder.

Fifth Step is to add dependency and then click on sync.

Six Step is to enable api from google developer and then create api.

Last Step is to add api in java code. Please follow my steps video is below the activity_main.xml.
