🎬 YoutubePlayer

A simple YouTube Player for Android using the YouTube IFrame Player API inside a WebView.

📌 About

Google has deprecated the Android YouTube Player API (RIP 😢).
This project shows how to play YouTube videos in Android using the IFrame API instead.

It’s lightweight, works on all Android versions (API 23+), and avoids dependency on Google’s deprecated library.

📌 Notes

• Some videos might not work if the uploader disabled embedding. In that case, you’ll see:

  "Video unavailable – Watch on YouTube"

• To fix this → choose a video that allows embedding.
