im trying to play a video in VideoView on an android application. the question is how do i fetch the correct link to the video from youtube and not just the webpage?

setContentView(R.layout.videopopup);
VideoView vv = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoElem);

MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
mc.setEnabled(true);
mc.show(0);
vv.setMediaController(mc); 
vv.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/v/oFL2rszPmmU?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"));
vv.requestFocus();
vv.showContextMenu();
vv.start();

in this link: Video View not playing youtube video

Evgeny Nacu explains which link it should be, but not how to retrieve it from a given youtube page.

Simple way to play video using default youtube app:

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(your youtube url);

Youtube app will do everything. You need not do anything.

and if that doesn't solve, use webview instead of videoview in your code
