Answer 1

There is a quick work around for this problem as I applied to my app.

1. First of all, you need to stop using YouTubePlayerFragment or YouTubePlayerSupportFragment
2. Instead, create an activity contains YouTube video view. Here is my xml and Activity: activity_you_tube_player.xml

Activity:

public class YouTubePlayerActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_you_tube_player);

    YouTubePlayerView playerView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtubePlayerView);

    final String videoID = getIntent().getExtras().getString("videoID");
    playerView.initialize(YTConfig.DEVELOPER_KEY, new YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean b) {

            youTubePlayer.setFullscreen(true);
            youTubePlayer.setShowFullscreenButton(true);
            youTubePlayer.setPlayerStyle(YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.MINIMAL);
            youTubePlayer.loadVideo(videoID.replace("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=", ""));

            youTubePlayer.setPlayerStateChangeListener(new YouTubePlayer.PlayerStateChangeListener() {
                @Override
                public void onLoading() {

                }

                @Override
                public void onLoaded(String s) {

                }

                @Override
                public void onAdStarted() {

                }

                @Override
                public void onVideoStarted() {

                }

                @Override
                public void onVideoEnded() {

                }

                @Override
                public void onError(YouTubePlayer.ErrorReason errorReason) {

                }
            });
        }

        @Override
        public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubeInitializationResult youTubeInitializationResult) {

        }
    });


}

}

3. In the fragment where you previously host YouTube fragment, start the YouTube Activity with Intent.
