and here is the code which i have used for starting Player

String vid=getYoutubeVideoId(vlink);
Intent intent=YouTubeStandalonePlayer.createVideoIntent(getActivity(),DEVELOPER_KEY, vid, 0,true,false);
startActivity(intent);

I am getting error on startActivity

Here is getYoutubeVideoID() code :

/*
     * Getting id of video from url
     */
    public static String getYoutubeVideoId(String youtubeUrl)
    {
        String video_id="";
        if (youtubeUrl != null && youtubeUrl.trim().length() > 0 && youtubeUrl.startsWith("http"))
        {

            String expression = "^.*((youtu.be"+ "\\/)" + "|(v\\/)|(\\/u\\/w\\/)|(embed\\/)|(watch\\?))\\??v?=?([^#\\&\\?]*).*"; // var regExp = /^.*((youtu.be\/)|(v\/)|(\/u\/\w\/)|(embed\/)|(watch\?))\??v?=?([^#\&\?]*).*/;
            CharSequence input = youtubeUrl;
            Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(expression,Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
            Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input);
            if (matcher.matches())
            {
                String groupIndex1 = matcher.group(7);
                if(groupIndex1!=null && groupIndex1.length()==11)
                    video_id = groupIndex1;
            }
        }
        return video_id;
    }

First check if the youtube service is available on your device, then try to launch that activity. YouTubeApiServiceUtil.isYouTubeApiServiceAvailable(mContext). Also try installing the youtube app from Google play.

Tiny note from the documentation: Note: Users need to run version 4.2.16 of the mobile YouTube app (or higher) to use the API.

Edit: This is how you use it:

if(YouTubeApiServiceUtil.isYouTubeApiServiceAvailable(mContext).equals(YouTubeInitializationResult.SUCCESS)){
   //This means that your device has the Youtube API Service (the app) and you are safe to launch it. 

}else{
   // Log the outcome, take necessary measure, like playing the video in webview :)  
}

See the YouTubeInitializationResult enums here https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/reference/com/google/android/youtube/player/YouTubeInitializationResult

Also the philosophy about the aforementioned class: https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/reference/com/google/android/youtube/player/YouTubeApiServiceUtil

can you paste a snippet for YouTubeApiServiceUtil.isYouTubeApiServiceAvailable(Context context) — Manoj, Jan 23 '13 at 11:05

Are you running the app on the emulator? It might not work on the emulator as youtube player is not installed by default. Try running it on an actual device.

In order to use YouTube api for android you need 3 Parameters

1) YouTube Developer Key

2)Video Id

3)Latest official YouTube Android App (version 4.2.16)

By looking on you log cat i think one among this is missing

I would suggest some improvements to @Nikola answer. It's possible to show localised dialog getErrorDialog() to handle some user-recoverable errors isUserRecoverableError. For example, when YouTube app is disabled in Settings.

val result = YouTubeApiServiceUtil.isYouTubeApiServiceAvailable(context)
when {
    result == YouTubeInitializationResult.SUCCESS -> startYouTubeActivity()
    result.isUserRecoverableError -> result.getErrorDialog(activity, 0).show()
    else -> toast("Something went wrong!")
}
