The documentation has been moved in the readme of the project. This wiki is outdated.


This library provides a stable and open source alternative to the official YouTube Player.

It has been developed out of necessity. The official library provided by Google for the integration of YouTube videos into Android apps is the YouTube Android Player API. Its many bugs and the total lack of support from Google made it impossible to use in production. When I have tried to use it, my app was crashing because of internal bugs in Google's player, (some bugs have 3+ years old bug reports) and, at the moment, no update has been released for almost a year. From there I decided to build my own player.

Every contribution is more than welcome, don't hesitate to open an issue if you need any help or if you want to help improving this library.

This wiki explains how to use the Android-YouTube-Player library, feel free to contribute to make it better.
