Android-youtube-player: Loading previous video when playing from list.

[shekhar-gloify]

Using version: 8.0.1

When I am playing video from the list, first video play properly but when you select other videos it stills plays the same old playing video from start.

Log.e("Playing Video",videoId);
youTubePlayer.loadVideo(videoId,0);

I put a log just before loading video to the player and I got all the videos ids I tried to play.
After tapping on three different videos from the list I got this log for the last tap:

Playing Video: Ek17-Sh7jtA
Playing Video: rJqX-YUZddc
Playing Video: _cPHiwPqbqo

the first video tapped was rJqX-YUZddc
the last video tapped was Ek17-Sh7jtA

From what you are describing it looks like there is some bug in your code.

I am directly using this

public void playVideo(final String videoId , String song_name)
{

    tv_song_name.setText(song_name);

    playerView.initialize(new YouTubePlayerInitListener() {
        @Override
        public void onInitSuccess(@NonNull final YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer) {
            youTubePlayer.addListener(new AbstractYouTubePlayerListener() {
                @Override
                public void onReady() {
                    Log.e("Playing Video",videoId);
                    youTubePlayer.loadVideo(videoId,0);
                }
            });
        }
    }, true);
}

when tapping song on the list, the value of video id and name is passing to this function.
The first song is playing perfectly but after tapping the second time and on it is not playing properly.

Why are you initializing the player each time? You should initialize it just the first time and call just loadVideo the following times.

How can I use youTubePlayer directly from outside.

How can I use youTubePlayer directly from outside.

My code looks like the following.:

// Global
var initializedYouTubePlayer: YouTubePlayer? = null

override fun onCreate() {
    initYoutubePlayerView()
}

private fun initYoutubePlayerView() {

    playerView = findViewById(R.id.player_view)
    lifecycle.addObserver(playerView!!)

    playerView?.addYouTubePlayerListener(object: AbstractYouTubePlayerListener() {
        override fun onReady(youTubePlayer: YouTubePlayer) {
            super.onReady(youTubePlayer)
            initializedYouTubePlayer = youTubePlayer
            initializedYouTubePlayer!!.addListener(tracker)
        }
   }
}

Pass initializedYouTubePlayer anywhere to play video now. Appears you had the same issue I was having. This should solve it.
