I want to show my youtube video in Exo player with custom controls in android with java and I also want to publish that app on the google play store. So can you please help me with a genuine way of doing this? So my app will not rejected soon when I upload that on google playstore
Thanks in Advance
First of all, you need not worry about you app being rejected because until it follows googles policies, it won't remove your app.
And the requirement you want can be fulfilled with this library. This will not increase app size more than 1 MB. It also it customisable just like you want.
This is how you can implement it.
1.In your build.gradle, add this dependency
implementation 'com.pierfrancescosoffritti.androidyoutubeplayer:core:10.0.5'
2.In your layout xml file add the following code
<com.pierfrancescosoffritti.androidyoutubeplayer.core.player.views.YouTubePlayerView
android:id="@+id/youtube_player_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:autoPlay="true"
app:showFullScreenButton="false" />
3.In your activity add the following code
YouTubePlayerView youTubePlayerView = findViewById(R.id.youtube_player_view);
getLifecycle().addObserver(youTubePlayerView);
4.To load the video add this
youTubePlayerView.addYouTubePlayerListener(new AbstractYouTubePlayerListener() {
@Override
public void onReady(@NonNull YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer) {
//if your url is something like this -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzyXVfyx7CU
String urlToLoad = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzyXVfyx7CU";
String[] url = urlToLoad.split("watch?v=");
youTubePlayer.loadVideo(url[1], 0);
//if your url is something like this -> EzyXVfyx7CU
String videoId = "EzyXVfyx7CU";
youTubePlayer.loadVideo(videoId, 0);
}
});
Now to add customisations, you can follow the following links.
Enable automatic initialization
If you are thinking that you can fully customise the UI,you cannot do it any way.This library also provides only option on the left and right side and the top and bottom of the pause/play button.It will look something like this.
you can easily use Youtube url extractor repo to extract the mp4 url from youtube url than you can easily play that youtube video in exo player
