Here is my code

    public class PlaySelectedVideo extends YouTubeBaseActivity {


MediaPlayer mPlayer;
Intent receInt;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.playyoutubevideo);
    receInt = getIntent();
    TextView titleView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.playerTitle);
    TextView descView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.playerDesc);
    titleView.setText(receInt.getStringExtra("com.xxx.disuplytbvid.TITLE"));
    descView.setText(receInt.getStringExtra("com.xxx.disuplytbvid.DESCRIPTION"));
    YouTubePlayerView youTubeView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_view);
    youTubeView.initialize(API_KEY, (YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener)this);

    mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    mPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

}


  public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player,
      boolean wasRestored) {
    if (!wasRestored) {
      String id = receInt.getStringExtra("com.XXX.disuplytbvid.vID");
      player.cueVideo(id);
    }
  }


  protected YouTubePlayer.Provider getYouTubePlayerProvider() {
    return (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_view);
  }

And my Layout:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout 
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="0dp"
  android:layout_weight="1"
  android:id="@+id/playerTitle"
  android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Large"
  android:textStyle="bold"
  android:gravity="center"
  android:text="@string/playerview_title"/>
  <TextView
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="0dp"
  android:layout_weight="1"
  android:id="@+id/playerDesc"
  android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium"
  android:gravity="center"
  android:text="@string/playerview_desc"/>    
 </LinearLayout>


 <com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
  android:id="@+id/youtube_view"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
 </LinearLayout>   

Answer 1

You have to extend not only

YouTubeBaseActivity but also Implement YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener 

and implement the reequired Methods.

Answer 2

Try YouTubeFailureRecoveryActivity instead of YouTubeBaseActivity for extending your PlaySelectedVideo activity.

and instead of this

youTubeView.initialize("AIzaSyAYBzv-h4SrKw16L-IXczrkXkVeX21fyU8", (YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener)this);

try

youTubeView.initialize("AIzaSyAYBzv-h4SrKw16L-IXczrkXkVeX21fyU8", YouTubeBaseActivity.this);
