Force Video to Open in Youtube App on Android

Force video to open in Youtube app on Android

Here's how you can do that:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("vnd.youtube://" + id));
startActivity(intent);

The id is the identifier after the questionmark in the url. For example: youtube.com/watch?v=ID

Another way is:

Intent videoIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
videoIntent.setData(url);
videoIntent.setClassName("com.google.android.youtube", "com.google.android.youtube.WatchActivity");
startActivity(videoIntent);

......

“href” value in HTML to open video in youtube app or market (Google Play) on Android

1) Intent solution :

<a href="
intent:
  //8xn9iq3lG_w/
  #Intent;
    scheme=vnd.youtube;
    package=com.google.android.youtube
    S.browser_fallback_url=market://details?id=com.google.android.youtube;
end;
">youtube or market</a>

NB:

Maybe you need to remove spaces in href attribut:

<a href="intent://8xn9iq3lG_w/#Intent;scheme=vnd.youtube;package=com.google.android.youtube;S.browser_fallback_url=market://details?id=com.google.android.youtube;end;">youtube or market</a>

Android - Open links in YouTube app by default

You should create a custom WebViewClient and override shouldOverrideUrlLoading.

This function is being called before the webview goes into the address. There, you should check if the link is a youtube link and if so, open an intent as user6363583 said, and return true, else return false.

Dont forget to set your custom Web client as your webview Web client... Just use: webview.setWebViewClient(yourClient)
