Example to use YouTubePlayerFragment of YouTube Android Player API

Example to use YouTubePlayerFragment of YouTube Android Player API


Follow the step in "YouTube Android Player API step-by-step" to Download and import YouTube Android Player API, and Register your app using YouTube Android Player API and obtain API Key. To use YouTubePlayerFragment, you have to define android:minSdkVersion="11" or higher in your AndroidManifest.xml.

Modify /res/layout/activity_main.xml to define layout, with <fragment> of "com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerFragment".
<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:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <fragment
        android:name="com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerFragment"
        android:id="@+id/youtubeplayerfragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

Embed html using Google Maps JavaScript API v3 in Android App

The Google Maps Javascript API Version 3 is now the official Javascript API. Version 2 of this API has been officially deprecated as per our deprecation policy.

The Google Maps Javascript API lets you embed Google Maps in your own web pages. Version 3 of this API is especially designed to be faster and more applicable to mobile devices, as well as traditional desktop browser applications.

The API provides a number of utilities for manipulating maps (just like on the http://maps.google.com web page) and adding content to the map through a variety of services, allowing you to create robust maps applications on your website.

The JavaScript Maps API V3 is a free service, available for any web site that is free to consumers. Please see the terms of use for more information.




It's easy to embed WebView, load with HTML using Google Maps JavaScript API v3, in Android App:



Create /assets/simplemap.html, copy from Simple Map example in Google Maps JavaScript API v3, html code with Google Maps JavaScript API v3.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Simple Map</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <style>
      html, body, #map-canvas {
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        height: 100%;
      }
    </style>
    <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
    <script>
var map;
function initialize() {
  var mapOptions = {
    zoom: 8,
    center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  };
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
      mapOptions);
}

google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="map-canvas"></div>
  </body>
</html>


Modify /res/layout/activity_main.xml, to add <WebView> in layout.
<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:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="http://android-er.blogspot.com/"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:autoLink="web" />
    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/mybrowser"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</LinearLayout>


MainActivity.java
package com.example.androidsimplemap;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.webkit.WebView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
 WebView myBrowser;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  
  myBrowser = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.mybrowser);
  myBrowser.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/simplemap.html");
  myBrowser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
 }

}


Note that, in order for your Activity to access the Internet and load web pages in a WebView, you must add the INTERNET permissions to your Android Manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

The Tutorial: YouTube Android Player API step-by-step

Android Studio 0.1.8 just released

Android Studio 0.1.8 just released to address several bugs in 0.1.7 around gradle builds. In addition, there are the following changes:
  • Support for running instrumentation tests on device. Tests should be created in the folder "src/instrumentTest/java" (of the main application or a library) following the conventions described at http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Testing
    • To run them, simply right click on the test and click on Run as type Android Junit test.
    • You can also create a new run configuration of type "Android Test" and specify whether you want to run all the tests in a module, package, class or just a single test.
    • NOTE: Debugging tests will be supported in the next release
  • 0.1.8 also comes with a brand new implementation of a resource manager in the IDE, used for layout preview, editor resource folding, etc. This should address many bugs reported in earlier versions (such as @id attributes not being handled properly in RelativeLayouts, bugs with opening layouts after making edits, etc, and should be more performant.
  • New lint check validating device admin receivers

Handle initialization error YouTube API Service

Refer to the exercises of "Simple example using YouTube Android Player API" and "YouTubeThumbnailView example", onInitializationFailure() methods will be called with YouTubeInitializationResult passed if fail in initialization.

If the error is is user-recoverable (isUserRecoverableError() == true), we can proceed by calling getErrorDialog(Activity, int), and then show this dialog to enable users to recover from this error.

Modify MainActivity.java from last exercise "YouTubeThumbnailView example of YouTube Android Player API" to handle onInitializationFailure() for YouTubePlayer and YouTubeThumbnailView.

Convert Uri return from Gallery to file path

The old exercise "Select Image using Android build-in Gallery" show how to selecte photo using Gallery app, in Uri form. In this exercise, the returned Uri is converted to file path in String form.

Start activity once notification clicked

In the exercise "Generate Notification with sound when alarm received", a browse opened and load a specified url once user click on the notification. We can also pass intent to start activity to notification, to start activity once user click on the notification.

Start activity once notification clicked

Modify AlarmReceiver.java in the exercise "Generate Notification with sound when alarm received", pass Intent(context, DoSomething.class) to PendingIntent.getActivity(...).
package com.example.androiddatepicker;

import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
 
 private static final int MY_NOTIFICATION_ID=1;
 NotificationManager notificationManager;
 Notification myNotification;

 @Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
  Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm received!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

     Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, DoSomething.class);
     PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
            context, 
            0, 
            myIntent, 
            Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
     
     myNotification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
       .setContentTitle("Exercise of Notification!")
       .setContentText("Do Something...")
       .setTicker("Notification!")
       .setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
       .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
       .setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
       .setAutoCancel(true)
       .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
       .build();
     
     notificationManager = 
       (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
     notificationManager.notify(MY_NOTIFICATION_ID, myNotification);
 }

}


Create DoSomething.java, it will be started once user click the notification.
package com.example.androiddatepicker;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class DoSomething extends Activity {

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  ImageView image = new ImageView(this);
  image.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher));
  setContentView(image);
  Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), 
    "Do Something NOW", 
    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
 }

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo

Problem on Java Build Path again...! similar to the case of Unexpected namespace prefix "xmlns" found for tag fragment on xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto".

Somebody report that my old exercise "Share IntentService among Fragments" not work. So I try to import the downloaded project in a new installed Android ADT, and the following error...sss reported in LogCat:

Finally, I solve it by correcting Java Build Path - right clicking project -> Java Build Path, select Order and Export tab, check to include both Android 4.2.2 and Android Private Libraries, and click OK.

correct Java Build Path

Actually, I don't know what happen! May be there are something changed in new Android Developer Tools.

Simple example using YouTube Android Player API

Simple example using YouTube Android Player API

Before create app using YouTube Android Player API, you have to "Download and import YouTube Android Player API" and "Register your app using YouTube Android Player API and obtain API Key".

Modify layout xml to add view of <com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView>.
<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:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="http://android-er.blogspot.com/"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:autoLink="web" />
    
    <com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
        android:id="@+id/youtubeplayerview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>


Modify MainActivity.java, extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener.
package com.example.androidyoutubeapiplayer;

import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubeBaseActivity;
import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubeInitializationResult;
import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayer;
import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView;
import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayer.Provider;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements
YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener{
 
 public static final String API_KEY = "AIzaSyCe6tORd9Ch4lx-9Ku5SQ476uS9OtZYsWA";
 public static final String VIDEO_ID = "o7VVHhK9zf0";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        
        YouTubePlayerView youTubePlayerView = (YouTubePlayerView)findViewById(R.id.youtubeplayerview);
        youTubePlayerView.initialize(API_KEY, this);
    }

 @Override
 public void onInitializationFailure(Provider provider,
   YouTubeInitializationResult result) {
  Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), 
    "onInitializationFailure()", 
    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
 }

 @Override
 public void onInitializationSuccess(Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player,
   boolean wasRestored) {
  if (!wasRestored) {
        player.cueVideo(VIDEO_ID);
      }
 }

}


Where API_KEY is the key obtained in the step of "Register your app using YouTube Android Player API and obtain API Key", VIDEO_ID is the ID of the video to play.

Permission of "android.permission.INTERNET" is needed in AndroidManifest.xml.

Register your app using YouTube Android Player API and obtain API Key

To use YouTube Android Player API in your app, you have to register it and obtain API key. This post show you the steps to do so.

- Login with your Google account in Google APIs Console.

- Pull-down the Slection on left, and click Create... under Other Projects.



- Enter name of your project.



- Enable YouTube Data API v3 to ON.



- And then click to select API Access, and you will found you API key. You have to insert it in your code to use YouTube Android Player API.





To develop Android apps with YouTube Android Player API, read the posts in YouTube Android Player API step-by-step.

Unexpected namespace prefix "xmlns" found for tag fragment on xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

This post share my experience on the error of Unexpected namespace prefix "xmlns" found for tag fragment on xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto".

Recently, I re-check my old project using Google Maps Android API v2, it work without error before. But LogCat show error:

...
E/AndroidRuntime(20411): Caused by: android.app.Fragment$InstantiationException: Unable to instantiate fragment com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment: make sure class name exists, is public, and has an empty constructor that is public
...
E/AndroidRuntime(20411): Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment
...

Then I re-visit the layout xml with MapFragment, error message show Unexpected namespace prefix "xmlns" found for tag fragment on the statement  xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto".



To solve it, correct Java Build Path by right clicking on your project -> Java Build Path, select Order and Export tab, check both Android 4.2.2 and Android Private Libraries, and click OK.


And then clean and build the project.


Similar to the case: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo

Custom ArrayAdapter for Spinner, with custom icons

It repost my old exercise "Custom ArrayAdapter for Spinner, with different icons". Somebody report that the icon in the Spinner button doesn't change accordingly. I have re-check on HTC One X (running Android 4.1.1), HTC Flyer (Android 3.2.1) and Nexus One (Android 2.3.6), all work as expected. Would you help to check in your device and let me know if any problem?

APK available here: http://goo.gl/8VmK3

run on HTC One X (running Android 4.1.1)

Run on Nexus One (Android 2.3.6)



Before implement custom Spinner with icons, we have to prepare our custom icons. Download the sample icons to /drawable folder, named icon.png and icongray.png.



Create /res/layout/row.xml to define the custom row layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
 android:id="@+id/icon"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>
<TextView
 android:id="@+id/weekofday"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>


Modify the layout, /res/layout/activity_main.xml, to add Spinner.
<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:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:orientation="vertical"

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="http://android-er.blogspot.com/"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:autoLink="web" />
    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"

Generate Notification with sound when alarm received

The exercise "Set alarm on specified date/time with DatePicker/TimePicker" simple display Toast when alarm time reached. To generate Notification with sound when alarm received, generate Notification in AlarmReceiver.java using Notification.Builder() or NotificationCompat.Builder().

This exercise use Android Support library's NotificationCompat.Builder() to supports Android version as old as API level 4. (Right click your project > Android Tools > Add Sipport Library...)

Generate Notification with sound when alarm received


Modify AlarmReceiver.java
package com.example.androiddatepicker;

import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
 
 private static final int MY_NOTIFICATION_ID=1;
 NotificationManager notificationManager;
 Notification myNotification;
 private final String myBlog = "http://android-er.blogspot.com/";

 @Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
  Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm received!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

     Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(myBlog));
     PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
            context, 
            0, 
            myIntent, 
            Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
     
     myNotification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
       .setContentTitle("Exercise of Notification!")
       .setContentText("http://android-er.blogspot.com/")
       .setTicker("Notification!")
       .setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis())
       .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
       .setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
       .setAutoCancel(true)
       .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
       .build();
     
     notificationManager = 
       (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
     notificationManager.notify(MY_NOTIFICATION_ID, myNotification);
 }
