I'm new to Android Programming! I'm wondering if it's possible to create a sort of popup view (similar to the alert dialog for example) where you can play a YouTube video! I tried but I failed!
Can you help me? I know how to play a YouTube video on a different Activity but I don't know how to do the same but in a sort of Alert Dialog!
Thanks to everyone!

this is my code:
b1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Intent i = new Intent(PaginaRisultati.this, YTActivity.class);
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(PaginaRisultati.this);
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.playerview_demo);
YouTubePlayerView youTubeView = (YouTubePlayerView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.youtube_view);
OnInitializedListener oil = new YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener() {
@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player,
boolean wasRestored) {
if (!wasRestored) {
player.cueVideo("lHtJPFLgizw");
}
}
@Override
public void onInitializationFailure(Provider provider,
YouTubeInitializationResult errorReason) {
if (errorReason.isUserRecoverableError()) {
errorReason.getErrorDialog(PaginaRisultati.this, RECOVERY_DIALOG_REQUEST).show();
} else {
String errorMessage = String.format("ERROR!!", errorReason.toString());
Toast.makeText(PaginaRisultati.this, errorMessage, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
};
youTubeView.initialize("MY_APY_KEY", oil);
dialog.show();
}
});
XML File of dialog:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
<com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
android:id="@+id/youtube_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
And this is the error in the LogCat:

I did it by making my activity look like a dialog. I had to resort to this solution as I had to show youtubeplayer in a fragment and nesting tag in a class extending Fragment is not allowed. Here's the code:
public class YoutubeDialogActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements
YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener {
public static final String API_KEY = "your api kery from google";
public static String VIDEO_ID ;
private YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer;
private YouTubePlayerFragment youTubePlayerFragment;
private static final int RQS_ErrorDialog = 1;
private MyPlayerStateChangeListener myPlayerStateChangeListener;
private MyPlaybackEventListener myPlaybackEventListener;
String log = "";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.youtube_player_dialog_activity);
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
VIDEO_ID = bundle.getString("video_id");
youTubePlayerFragment = (YouTubePlayerFragment) getFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.youtubeplayerfragment);
youTubePlayerFragment.initialize(API_KEY, this);
myPlayerStateChangeListener = new MyPlayerStateChangeListener();
myPlaybackEventListener = new MyPlaybackEventListener();
}
@Override
public void onInitializationFailure(Provider provider,
YouTubeInitializationResult result) {
if (result.isUserRecoverableError()) {
result.getErrorDialog(this, RQS_ErrorDialog).show();
}
}
@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(Provider provider,
YouTubePlayer player, boolean wasRestored) {
PlayerStyle style = PlayerStyle.MINIMAL;
player.setPlayerStyle(style);
youTubePlayer = player;
youTubePlayer.setPlayerStateChangeListener(myPlayerStateChangeListener);
youTubePlayer.setPlaybackEventListener(myPlaybackEventListener);
if (!wasRestored) {
player.cueVideo(VIDEO_ID);
}
}
private final class MyPlayerStateChangeListener implements
PlayerStateChangeListener {
@Override
public void onAdStarted() {
}
@Override
public void onError(
com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayer.ErrorReason arg0) {
}
@Override
public void onLoaded(String arg0) {
}
@Override
public void onLoading() {
}
@Override
public void onVideoEnded() {
finish();
}
@Override
public void onVideoStarted() {
}
}
}
Heres the theme in manifest file:
<activity
android:name="com.proshore.rwd.activity.YoutubeDialogActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" >
</activity>
As per the crashing the exception is preety self explanatory:
A YouTubePlayerView can only be created with an Activity which extends YouTubeBaseActivity as its context.
This is also one of the reason I choose to make my activity a dialog.
