1. Obtaining the Android API Key
1. First we need to get the SHA-1 fingerprint on your machine using java keytool. Execute the below command in cmd/terminal to get the SHA-1 fingerprint.
On Windows
keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android |
On Linux or Mac
keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android |
2. Go to Google Developer Console and select or create a new project.
3. On the left sidebar, select APIs under APIs & auth and turn the status ON for YouTube Data API v3.
4. On the left sidebar, select Credentials and Create new key under Public API acess.
5. When popup comes asking you to choose platform, select Android Key.
6. Paste the SHA-1 key and your project’s package name separated by semicolon(;).
7. Click on create. Now you should see the API KEY on the dashboard.
2. Creating the Android Project
1.In Eclipse create a new android project by navigating to File ⇒ New ⇒ Android Application Projectand fill out all the required details.
2. Download the latest of version of YouTube Android Player API and extract it. Once extracted, you can find YouTubeAndroidPlayerApi.jar file inside libs folder.
3. Paste the YouTubeAndroidPlayerApi.jar file in your project’s libs folder.
4. Add the below string values to strings.xml located under res ⇒ values.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><resources> <string name="app_name">Youtube Player</string> <string name="title_logo">NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC</string> <string name="btn_skip_intro">Skip Intro</string> <string name="error_player">There was an error initializing the YouTubePlayer (%1$s)</string></resources> |
