Media player using YouTube?

问题:

I am developing a sample application using MediaPlayer.By using the raw resources folder,the video can be played.But I want to play through URL.How can I achieve this?

My code is:

VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView);
        MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
        mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
        // Set video link (mp4 format )
        Uri video = Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Wgp3mLa_E");
        videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
        videoView.setVideoURI(video);
        videoView.start();

You need to get the correct streaming(rtsp) url rather than the link to the player page you are using. You can get this programmatically using the google data api

Once you have done that you would simply replace

"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Wgp3mLa_E" with "rtsp://v8.cache1.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQnxa4t5p6BVTxMYESARFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp"

in your existing code and it should work.

Note: The quality of video, when streaming to your own videoview, can be very poor compared to how it looks when played on the youtube site or player app.

You have to rtsp links from gdata api :gdata api with this: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?&max-results=20&v=2&format=1&q="+ URLEncoder.encode(activity.criteria)

Element rsp = (Element)entry.getElementsByTagName("media:content").item(1);

                              String anotherurl=rsp.getAttribute("url");

In gdata api only we are getting this type of links : rtsp://v3.cache7.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQlOCTh0GvUeYRMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp

These are playing in VideoView.
