Intent to play YouTube playlist

Question

I would like to start YouTube playlist from my application.

For single video this is obvious

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
                      


        

Answer 1

The best way to use YouTube functionalities in your app is to use YouTube API for Android. You can find out how to use YouTube API from the documentation and the sample app.

If you use YouTube API, to start playlist you have to do this in your Activity:

String PLAYLIST_ID = "UCVHFbqXqoYvEWM1Ddxl0QDg";

//"this" is Context
Intent intent = YouTubeIntents.createPlayPlaylistIntent(this, PLAYLIST_ID);
startActivity(intent);

See the method's documentation here.

Answer 2

Check whether you are passing same url throughout the play list (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=videoid). check for the value of videoid whether it is same.
