In some situations, we should open you tube application from our application to show some specific video. This example demonstrate about How android YouTube app Play Video from Intent.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/parent" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity" android:gravity="center" android:orientation="vertical"> <TextView android:id="@+id/openYoutube" android:text="Open youtube application" android:textSize="20sp" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </LinearLayout>

import android.support.annotation.RequiresApi;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView openYoutube = findViewById(R.id.openYoutube);
openYoutube.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent webIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X7WWVTrBvM"));
