I'm quite novice to android development. I tried several methods that have been found by googling and they all just fizzled out. So, can anyone help me how to clear that problem? I'll be so grateful...

Answer 1

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1g_ouW6Tos")));

is enough for that operation.

Edit: If you want to add webview use that example; Add your layout a webview;

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webView"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

Then in your class add this codes;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
    WebSettings settings = webView.getSettings();
    settings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
    settings.setUseWideViewPort(true);
    detailView.setWebViewClient(new Client());
    detailView.loadUrl("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1g_ouW6Tos");
}
private class Client extends WebViewClient {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
    }
}

Answer 2

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("vnd.youtube://" + video_id);
startActivity(intent);

You can also try like this.
