Hello guys. I'm in pain. How can I set my videoplayer source to a youtube video? I mean I don't want to open that youtube video in a browser or in a built in youtube app. But I want that video to play in my VIDEOPLAYER. Please. ASAP.

the videoplayer needs a video file for being able to play a video, see also here
which means, for Youtube videos you only can use the activity starter or the webviewer

To be able to play Youtube videos in the webviewer, you have to edit the manifest and add android:targetSdkVersion="14" or higher. Thank you Boban!
