You are wrong on this stage.

How to display the url of video in gridview ?

Don't try to print your URL into grid view item. YouTube is provide a thumbnail of specif video in different frame.So directly use that URL and play.

Here is the Image URL for YouTube Thumbnail (order by Frame)

YouTube URL : http://img.youtube.com/vi/

Video_ID : AxeOPU6n1_M

Frame Number : 0.jpg

Final YouTube Thumbnail URL

http://img.youtube.com/vi/AxeOPU6n1_M/0.jpg

http://img.youtube.com/vi/AxeOPU6n1_M/1.jpg

http://img.youtube.com/vi/AxeOPU6n1_M/2.jpg

So, at the end you have to get youtube_img_url from web service so you can use it.

And if you don't know how to set image coming from server then check out below links.

Both example is good now you have to just update your code as per requirement.

How to play on click the grid plays in next screen. 

Here its should be new activity called via intent and this will play in YouTube Player.

@Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
        {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.videoplaying);
          String url= "Your url";
          Uri uri=Uri.parse(url);
          VideoView video=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoplaying);
          video.setVideoURI(uri);
          video.start();
        }
