As mentioned previously you can play youtube videos with open youtube player.
I have attached the working sample here. (Drive is the best solution pops in to my mind and you can save the rar file by pressing ctrl+s). There you will find two projects.
- YouTubeTester - the sample app I have done
- OpenYouTubeActivity - the youtube player that downloaded form here
I have included the jar file of OpenYouTubeActivity project in to my project and if you prefer you can refer the OpenYouTubeActivity project as a library for your project (If you refer the project as a library make sure to remove the jar file.). The downloaded source of OpenYouTubeActivity has been updated as mention in issue list
VideoStream.java (Line: 30)
change: mUrl = lArgMap.get("url");
to: mUrl = lArgMap.get("url") + "&signature=" + lArgMap.get("sig");
Now back to the sample project.

Hope this will help. Please ask if you have any problems. I don't have a deep understanding about the OpenYouTubeActivity project but I'll be able to help.
