Answer 1

use this on your project: https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/downloads/

include this code in your onclick method:

Intent intent = YouTubeStandalonePlayer.createVideoIntent(getActivity(), api_key, video_id);
startActivity(intent);

api_key is the Google Console APIs developer key. video_id is the code after v=, for example:fYWZNN4bbz8 in "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYWZNN4bbz8"
