| 7 | +Playing Youtube on Android (specially inline) comes with some challenges : |
| 8 | + - YouTube SDK does not work on all devices ( where YouTube services could have been uninstalled) |
| 9 | + - You cannot run more than one instance of the YouTube view |
| 10 | + - Playing them inline where in a list you can have more than one videos in a single list. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +inline-youtube-view for Android checks if the services are available and will fall back gracefully to using WebView in the event they are not. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +YouTubePlayerView : The YouTubePlayerView provided by the YouTube SDK comes with a restriction that the activty hosting this needs to extend from YouTubeBaseActivity. This view removes these restrictions. |

| 23 | + |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## How to use ? |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories : |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +````java |
| 31 | +allprojects { |
| 32 | + repositories { |
| 33 | + ... |
| 34 | + maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } |
| 35 | + } |
| 36 | +} |
| 37 | +```` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Add the dependency |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +````java |
| 42 | +dependencies { |
| 43 | + //to be updated soon. |
| 44 | +} |
| 45 | +```` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### YouTubePlayer Activity |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Start an YouTubeActivity intent with apiKey and videoId. This will play the youtube video in a new activity in fullscreen mode. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +````java |
| 52 | +Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, YouTubeActivity.class); |
| 53 | +intent.putExtra("apiKey", Constants.API_KEY); |
| 54 | +intent.putExtra("videoId", "3AtDnEC4zak"); |
| 55 | +startActivity(intent); |
| 56 | +```` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### YouTubePlayer Inline |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Create an instance of YouTubePlayerView inside a fragment. To initialize the player, you need to call the initPlayer method with following params: |
| 61 | +1. apiKey |
| 62 | +2. videoId |
| 63 | +3. webviewUrl : the link to iframe.html file (this is required when the device is not able to render native video, a fallback). By default, use 'https://cdn.rawgit.com/flipkart-incubator/inline-youtube-view/60bae1a1/youtube-android/youtube_iframe_player.html' |
| 64 | +4. playerType : native, webview or auto (try native, else fallback to webview) |
| 65 | +5. listener : callback listener |
| 66 | +6. fragment : fragment hosting this view |
| 67 | +7. imageLoader : to load thumbnail image |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +````java |
| 70 | +YouTubePlayerView playerView = new YouTubePlayerView(context); |
| 71 | +playerView.initPlayer(Constants.API_KEY, videoId, "https://cdn.rawgit.com/flipkart-incubator/inline-youtube-view/60bae1a1/youtube-android/youtube_iframe_player.html", playerType, listener, fragment, imageLoader); |
