Android :: Authenticating With Youtube - ClientLogin?
Feb 27, 2010
I'm writing an Android app that, among other things, uses the GData libraries to upload videos shot with the camera to Youtube (code below). However, I'm a bit confused about how to authenticate my users. Can I simply assume that they are already signed in to Youtube, since they're using Android? Or do I need to ask them to authenticate? In which case, should I use ClientLogin? There seems to be little example code on how to use ClientLogin in Android, and since it's using people's Google account passwords, it obviously needs to be secure. I'm a bit concerned at the prospect of writing my own authentication code without much guidance, and at the extra step required from users.
It seems odd that I have to ask people to authenticate for a Google service, given that they are using Google phones and the inbuilt Google apps don't require external authentication. Why is this? It seems to put my app at a disadvantage to Google's own apps.
Here's the code that I have, below:.....................

I've been working for the past couple of days to allow users to login to an android app with their gmail account and pass the authentication token to my app hosted on app engine - so i can download xml from my web services hosted on app engine as if the user logged into the app directly. There is a lot of info on ways to get the google auth code and the auth cookie and then pass the cookie in the header of an http request - but no info out there on doing all of this from android and going as far as to add the cookie to the remaining http requests. So, now that's it's working, i thought i'd compile it all together and post the solution here in my blog - enjoy.

I wonder if it's possible to authenticate an app with a http server. THe server API does not require user name or password, but I'd like to expose the server API to a particular app only (so that it cannot be abused by other program). At this point I think it's impossible but figure it won't hurt to ask.

Anyone know where I can find an example of how I can get a ClientLogin token for use in Cloud to Device messaging? I get the general idea, but I'm not exactly sure what parameters I'm supposed to be sending, and how.

What is a good way to implement the Google ClientLogin scheme below on Android? My understanding is that Android does not support the GData API. So I wanted to say, login to my Google books account, will I be able to do it using Android and the reference above? What classes should I be looking at in the Android SDK? (I am using Android 1.6.)

However my phone will connect to my wifi at home no problems, it automatically switches when it's in range, but after about 20-30 minutes it stops working (pages won't load etc or get an error message saying I need to be connected) and when I go into wifi in settings it says 'authenticating' instead of connected. It doesn't change back if left you have to turn it off and back on and then it works fine for 20-30 minutes and back to the same problem again. I have never had a problem with the internet connection and there is no interuption to it or anything.

I just read an article about the improved youtube mobile site at m.youtube.com. I have used the youtube app since the ota that was sent out to fix it and downloaded an apk that allowed it to always default to HQ rather than having to change it each time. But I just tried out the mobile site and it is blazingly fast compared to the app. The only thing that would make me not use this over the app is that I didn't see a way to watch the videos in HQ. Am I missing something? Does anyone else have a preference for the mobile site over the app or vice versa?

When I'm at home, my WiFi speed is typically almost 3m DOWN and 700k UP. (Lame compared to my speeds at work) While my 3G is typically about HALF of those speeds. But here's where my confusion sets in. When I watch a YouTube video with the stock YouTube app, videos buffer faster and/or play MUCH better when using 3G. I'm wondering if the 3G connection is utilizing some kind of compression that allows this?

I am trying to log into you tube using the following code
mService = new YouTubeService("Nothing", developer_key);
//Authentication try { mService.setUserCredentials(mUsername, mPassword); } catch (AuthenticationException e) { Log.v(TAG, e.toString()); }
but I am getting: ConnectYouTube: com.google.gdata.util.AuthenticationException: Error connecting with login URI. This code seems pretty basic to me and I can't figure out what mistake am I making here.

ver2.0.26 is looking really nice on the droid, I have been leery about the updating youtube because I didn't want to loose the widget themed version I am running.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/youtube/com.google.android.youtube
I love the ability to just watch the tiny video on the apps search page and with a rotate it switches to full screen. Changing in settings to load all HD is a huge PLUS..
Looks as if I will be finally creating an account and uploading my droid videos to youtube... (these get interesting)

I don't know if this is an issue with my phone or with the app but every time I try and play a video it shows the loading symbol, then the screen just goes black and my phone freezes for a minute or two. Then it eventually just says "Sorry! Activity YouTube (in application YouTube) is not responding. Any ideas?

I am writing an application to play the you tube videos using streaming. First method: I am getting the RTSP URL to the video using GData APIs. Here is the code to play the RTSP url. VideoView mVideoView = new VideoView(this); setContentView(mVideoView); mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("rtsp://rtsp2.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQkDwpjrUxOWQBMYESARFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp")); mVideoView.start(); But it throws error on both G1 device and emulator (Emulator has some firewall problem as per mailing list) Here is the error message ERROR/PlayerDriver(35): Command PLAYER_INIT completed with an error or info PVMFFailure, Second method: A hack way to get the path of 3gp file from http://www.youtube.com/get_video?v=<VideoID>&t=<>&<>.. After getting the file path and I can call setVideoURI and it plays fine. But it is a hack way to achieve the requirement. I have checked the Youtube App also, it also does the hack way to play the you tube url.(Checked with logcat). I have tried changing from VideoView to Media Player but no change in the error. Is there a "Clean" way to do this?

Most of the time when I click on a link to a YouTube clip it takes me to the YouTube web page where it tells me I need to have flash installed. I'm pretty sure once I clicked a link and it gave me the option to open it in a browser or the YouTube app, but now I'm no longer getting that option. Is there a way to make YouTube videos open in the app everytime?

I have been trying to use the youtube APIs on the Android Platform (version 1.6) and have been stuck with the SAXParser whenever I send out a query from the following line of code:
VideoFeed videoFeed = service.query(query, VideoFeed.class);
I initially had errors with the SAXParser for which I applied the patch suggested here:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9493
After this, the previous error that I had which called an ExternalParametersEntities exception was resolved but I now get a Verify Error:
com.google.gdata.util.common.xml.parsing.SecureGenericXMLFactory $SecureSAXParserFactory
Would anyone know how to get around this error? Is there any other way to use the youtube API query on an Android platform?

I have two youtube accounts: one linked to my gmail (which I don't use that account) and then one that isn't linked to my gmail and I use all the time. When I go to my youtube app on my G1 it links up to the one that my gmail is linked too. I deleted that account from my computer but it is still showing up on my G1. I went to my youtube account that I use from my computer and set the email to my gmail account but it still shows up in my youtube app as the account that I don't use. How do I log into my youtube account from that app?

Droid can only upload vids to YouTube by wifi... is that an Android thing or a limitation caused by Verizon's abilities (inabitlies?).
Not a severe problem, but I was so used to posting vids for work as the fastest way to get a QC problem resolved for co-workers across the state. I'd post a vid, they see it within minutes, and come up with a solution.
Can't do that with Droid.
Can't email them as the files are too large. Still have to use my little Nokia on ATT to do that.

I just bought my first android phone. Everything works tip top, however there's zero audio for youtube videos and also for that other program. I forget the name, GoTv is something. Anyway, no audio with either. What's going on? I've looked through settings and even through my little instruction book and there's nothing on having to turn on the sound.
