How to open native app

[Aathi]

Hi,
I am trying to embed youtube in my app but some of the videos are restricted by owner so I decided to open those videos in mobile native app(youtube). Is there a way to open native app from my app with that particular youtube link .

Hi @Aathi

Do you can use a cordova plugin like https://github.com/raulduran/VideoPlayer or https://github.com/Glitchbone/CordovaYoutubeVideoPlayer

I recently used the VideoPlayer plugin and works fine

Hi Thanks,
1.https://github.com/Glitchbone/CordovaYoutubeVideoPlayer I think this plugin doesn't support to play Playlist
2.https://github.com/raulduran/VideoPlayer doesn't work

Im not sure what os you are using, but if its android then you just need to create an Intent. here is an tutorial about creating them in cordova http://smus.com/android-phonegap-plugins/

yea maybe they use old youtube api's i think.
investigating the Youtube API, i added manually in the plugin a reference to lib YouTubeAndroidPlayerApi.jar
import com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubeStandalonePlayer;

and then just add this
Intent intent = YouTubeStandalonePlayer.createVideoIntent(this.cordova.getActivity(), "AIzaSyAqKzdGPFWE9Cuy1z5ZDhyF5fI8gERD8KM", vid, 0, true, false);
this.cordova.getActivity().startActivity(intent);
