Hi All,
I wanted to get the OAuth token to access you tube private videos.
I am using Account Manager class to get the access token for the
account logged in on device using "com.google. "
I'm assuming you're making the HTTP requests yourself rather than
using the Java client library, since the existing library doesn't work
well on Android. So you'd want to either include the token in the
request URL or set the Authorization HTTP header.

After getting the authentication token i send the http request as
<code>
HttpClient lClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String postReq = ("
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/default/uploads?access_token=" +
my_access_token);
HttpPost lPostMethod = null;
lPostMethod = new HttpPost(postReq);
lPostMethod.addHeader("Authorization:Bearer", finalToken);
HttpResponse lResp = null;
lResp = lClient.execute(lPostMethod);
lResp.getEntity().writeTo(lBOS);
Log.i("RESP", lInfoStr);
</code>
The lInfoStr gives the output as "Response contains no content type"
What needs to be done after this??
Also, if i use the same "my_access_token" it cannot extract details(play
private video).
I did not see any information of how to set the "client id" "client secret"
for the access token acquired by accounts manager. (for you tube which link
to be used)
The access token acquired by Account Manager and by OAuth2.0 request as
mentioned in the below link do not match.
The details mentioned for getting an access token for Installed application
as described in:
does not mention how to get the access token acquired by account manager on
the device
(and for the method mentioned above requires to open a web View but i want
to do this process without user interaction)
I am still stuck and want to get the you tube access to play the private
videos by using the access token acquired by accounts manager on the device

Let's take a big step back here. You say your end goal is to play
private videos, but that's a complicated subject on the web-based
embedded player (it relies on the YouTube.com login cookie being
present, which has nothing to do with the Data API) and and even more
complicated subject, and potentially not possible, from an Android
application.
How were you planning on playing the video?

I am actually trying to do about the same as Sudhish regarding the authentification. I would like to be able to get the youtube recommendation for a specific user. Could you provide some details about it? eg the parameters
