Android Question YouTube Android Player API

With reference to this thread:

I have done some research on the official way to play YouTube videos on Android. It looks like Google has an official YouTube Android Player API.

https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/

Any thoughts on how this could be incorporated into a B4A project?

Thx Erel, I will check it out. Is it standalone, as in the user does not have to have the YouTube App installed on their phone?

The api controls the Youtube app. The YT-App MUST be installed. Check the documentation you posted a link for.

How it works

The API client library interacts with a service that is distributed as a part of the YouTube app for the Android platform. The client library has a light footprint, meaning it won't adversely impact your app's file size, if you use ProGuard as part of your build process.

Note: Users need to run version 4.2.16 of the mobile YouTube app (or higher) to use the API.

Thx Don, see it now. Apologies, am actually a bit ill and the mind is not as sharp as it normally is.
