Android YouTubePlayer with unauthorized overlay on top of player

Question

I\'m using YouTubePlayer (YouTube api for android) within a Fragment I am inflating a LinearLayout with the YouTube Player, in this way:

fragmentManager = ge         


        

Answer 1

I had the same error. Although I did the XML changes, I continued to receive the error:

 YouTube video playback stopped due to unauthorized overlay on top of player. The YouTubePlayerView is obscured by android.view.View{59fa6ce V.ED..... ........ 0,0-1440,84 #102002f android:id/statusBarBackground}. The view is inside the YouTubePlayerView, with the distance in px between each edge of the obscuring view and the YouTubePlayerView being: left: 0, top: 0, right: 0, bottom: 2308..

After I set the FULLSCREEN, it worked perfect

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

Hope it will help others.

You have to remove any padding attribute in the Video view.

Wrong:

   <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:orientation="vertical" >

   <com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
    android:id="@+id/youtube_player"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    **android:padding="10dp"** />

    </LinearLayout>

Right:

   <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
    android:id="@+id/youtube_player"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
     />

    </LinearLayout>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/id_base_layout"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#000000">

<com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
    android:id="@+id/youtube_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"  />

Answer 6

The demo code for the Android API uses this layout for the Fragment demo, maybe that can get ideas going. See this page: https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

  <TextView
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="0dp"
      android:layout_weight="1"
      android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Small"
      android:gravity="center"
      android:text="@string/playerfragment_text"/>

  <fragment
      android:name="com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerFragment"
      android:id="@+id/youtube_fragment"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
