Using both AppCompat and Youtube API in one activi

Question

I am working on an application in which both AppCompatActivity and Youtube API should be used, but for some reasons I am unable to use both together in same activity when I use AppCompatActicity for my toolbar the Youtube API stops working and if I extends YoutubeBaseActivity the Toolbar does not work, I am also using RecyclerView and Firebase as a database in this applcation, can anybody help me with it and tell me how I can implement AppCompatActivity and youtubeAPI together so they both work, I have researched many forums but they did not provide any useful information on doing so, please help.

I am using Android Studio

Youtube class file :

    public class HomePage extends YouTubeBaseActivity{

        private RecyclerViewPager mrecyclerView;
        private DatabaseReference mDatabaseReference;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_home_page);
        mDatabaseReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("holla");
        mrecyclerView = (RecyclerViewPager) findViewById(R.id.list);
        final LinearLayoutManager layout = new LinearLayoutManager(HomePage.this, LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false);
        mrecyclerView.setLayoutManager(layout);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
        mrecyclerView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
                    if (getSupportActionBar().isShowing()) {
                        getSupportActionBar().hide();
                        fab.hide();
                    } else {
                        getSupportActionBar().show();
                        fab.show();
                    }
                    return true;
                } else return false;
            }
        });

    }

    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        FirebaseRecyclerAdapter <post, postViewHolder> firebaseRecyclerAdapter = new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<post, postViewHolder>(

                post.class,
                R.layout.post_row_recycle_home,
                postViewHolder.class,
                mDatabaseReference
        ) {
            @Override
            protected void populateViewHolder(postViewHolder viewHolder, post model, int position) {
                viewHolder.setYoutube(model.getYoutube());

            }
        };
        mrecyclerView.setAdapter(firebaseRecyclerAdapter);


    }
    public static class postViewHolder extends RecyclerViewPager.ViewHolder{

        View mView;

        public postViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            mView = itemView;
        }
        public void setYoutube(final String youtube){
            final YouTubePlayerView youPlay = (YouTubePlayerView) mView.findViewById(R.id.youtuber);
            youPlay.initialize("SOME KEY",
                    new YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
                                                            YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean b) {

                            youTubePlayer.cueVideo(youtube);
                        }
                        @Override
                        public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
                                                            YouTubeInitializationResult youTubeInitializationResult) {

What I want to achieve

Answer 1

OK you have your normal HomePage activity that extend AppCompatActivity

At your xml file you have like a container for the videoplayer

   <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/watch_video_player"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/watf_main_video" />

At your activity add the player

YouTubePlayerSupportFragment youTubePlayerFragment = YouTubePlayerSupportFragment.newInstance();

FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.add(R.id.watch_video_player, youTubePlayerFragment).commit();

it will get the youtube player then you initialize it as normal

 youTubePlayerFragment.initialize(Constants.API_KEY, new YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener() {
                @Override
                public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean wasRestored) {

                    //load and play the video with current id
                    youTubePlayer.loadVideo(YouTubeApiUtilities.getVideoId(item));
                    youTubePlayer.play();
                }

                @Override
                public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubeInitializationResult youTubeInitializationResult) {
                    Toast.makeText(getContext(), R.string.can_not_initialize_youtube_player, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                }
            });
