Answer 1

As they say in the banner, you should use the IFramePlayer API inside a Webview.

Otherwise you can use this library (I am the owner): android-youtube-player. It uses the IFrame Player API inside a Webview but offers a native interface to it, so you can use Java/Kotlin to interact with the player.

• BobTheCat: Hi Mr.Soffritti, I wonder if I keep using Youtube android player api in my app after May, 1, will my app going to crash or the video player will broke? Thanks in advance.
• Pierfrancesco Soffritti: I don't know what will happen with the official player once it's deprecated. I am not involved with it.
• bugfreerammohan: this player sometimes does not work I think it has some limited request to play a video
• Pierfrancesco Soffritti: The player should work fine all the time. Feel free to open an issue on the GitHub project.
• BobTheCat: @PierfrancescoSoffritti I am using your iframePlayer now, works perfectly! I wonder if I could block ads when using iframePlayer

Answer 3

I have created an simple implementation using iframe webview as official player has been deprecated due to security vulnerabilities...

Here's sample link of a project

Answer 4

The YouTube Android Player SDK (version 1.2.2) is no longer supported or maintained by YouTube. This SDK should not be used, due to security vulnerabilities. Please use the YouTube IFrame Player API instead.

The SDK is no longer available for download. It will be fully deprecated on or after May 1, 2023.
