I have followed a tutorial on how to use the youtube gdata. Populating a listview with videos from youtube and a onclick. The source code is available on:

http://blog.blundell-apps.com/click-item-in-a-listview-to-show-youtube-video/

Once i have changed the YouTube GData link

from:

https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?author="+username+"&v=2&alt=jsonc

to :

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/GoogleDevelopers/uploads

i am not getting list of videos, why?

Reason is it's not working because :

From this URL :

https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?author="+username+"&v=2&alt=jsonc

you are getting JSON String in Response for gdata.youtube.com

and

In this URL :

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/GoogleDevelopers/uploads

you are getting Rss XML in Response for gdata.youtube.com

SOLUTION :

to make it working you will need to change JSON String parsing in GetYouTubeUserVideosTask class to XML parsing

OR

use this URL for getting data in JSON format :

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/GoogleDevelopers/uploads?v=2&alt=jsonc

and use this tutorial to known how we parse json in android :

  var channelName = 'PochicaKing';

  $.get(

            part: 'contentDetails',
            forUsername: channelName,

          },
  function (data) {

    $.each(data.items, function (i, item) {
      console.log(item);
      pid = item.contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.likes;
      gitVids(pid);
    });

  }
  );

  function gitVids(pid) {

    $.get(

      $.each(data.items, function (i, item) {
//      console.log(item);
        vidTitle = item.snippet.title;
        vidId = item.snippet.resourceId.videoId;

        output = '<li><iframe width="420" height="315"src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/' + vidId + '"></iframe></li>'
