I want to be able to display a certain youtube channel's videos and allow the user to select one of their videos to watch. Do I have to do this manually (parse the source code of the webpage to get each individual video link and then display them) or can I use the youtube api?
If anyone has done this, example code or tutorials would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
you can do that without parse any webpage, the correct way is using the youtube api
from a Youtube video get the Id
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opZ69P-0Jbc
(this is the mobile youtube version
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=opZ69P-0Jbc)
so you can get the data scheme
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos/opZ69P-0Jbc
and you can get for example the related videos
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos/opZ69P-0Jbc/related
heres the youtube api reference

Actually i wanted to make a clone of instagram and show user feed in another way and change the language of app for my own country , but there are several problems with standard instagram api
1.you cannot have user feed
2.you should become live to have user data

i searched for a private api and i didn't found something suitable for my Task
i hope you guys could help me to find another instagram api for my job
it's better to be based on java or android
Thanks
Hi I am developing an android app for a robotics competition. In the app we have buttons that add numbers to text boxes. I would like to get the number and save it to a locally stored Google sheet. Or to try to explain it the Google spreadsheet will be downloaded first then the app will put data in it on each separate device and when we are back on the internet it will upload to Google's servers I cannot find any way to do this and I am new and don't know how to save things yet so please explain carefully. So far the link hasn't been helpful. Can you even put data in a local table I could really use more specific examples I have figured out how to make the app save data then read it to a text box but now I want to put that data in google sheets and the api documentation has not been helpful
I think you need to add libraries for accessing the google spread sheets. The following link has a brief on it:

My current problem: I am using a webView to show web content in my app. In one link (which I need to show in webView) there is nothing more but just 3 youtube videos from 1 channel.
Question: How to use youtube API that it would automatically detect these videos and play correctly when the mentioned link is being opened?
I tried to use only webView to show youtube content but I am facing many problems with it - youtube video sometimes doesn't play at all, there is problems with Android version compatibility, etc. And as I read in general in forums - webView itself is not recommended to be used as html5 youtube video player. Most people suggests to use "new Youtube API". So how exactly implement this youtube API in my case?
Any examples? Suggestions?

My local church hosts a weekly show and upload the videos on Youtube. And I've been asked to develop an app for them, so far all is well, however, I have to implement a feature that will allow me to stream the show's videos unto the app.
I honestly don't have much of a clue how to go about it (still new to android programming)! I've looked around here and seen that a few people have already attempted to do this, but unlike what most people have done or tried to do, the videos are released on that day (not live streaming). For example the 10/02/13 video will be released on 10/02/13.
This link gives me an idea on how to stream a video on Android, but that shows that I have to explicitly put in the link for the video.
Is there a way to do the same thing, but instead of adding the link myself, the app should retrieve the videos from a server??
Thank you in advance for your help!

To achieve this you need to make the webservice which help to communicate mobile and web server. When you send the request from mobile to server then make the web service which give you response which have link of video then you can stream the video.
To stream the video.

Inside the API DEMOS you have on example.
