First check if the youtube service is available on your device, then try to launch that activity. YouTubeApiServiceUtil.isYouTubeApiServiceAvailable(mContext). Also try installing the youtube app from Google play.

Tiny note from the documentation: Note: Users need to run version 4.2.16 of the mobile YouTube app (or higher) to use the API.

Edit: This is how you use it:

if(YouTubeApiServiceUtil.isYouTubeApiServiceAvailable(mContext).equals(YouTubeInitializationResult.SUCCESS)){
   //This means that your device has the Youtube API Service (the app) and you are safe to launch it. 

}else{
   // Log the outcome, take necessary measure, like playing the video in webview :)  
}

See the YouTubeInitializationResult enums here https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/reference/com/google/android/youtube/player/YouTubeInitializationResult

Also the philosophy about the aforementioned class: https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/reference/com/google/android/youtube/player/YouTubeApiServiceUtil
