How to create a youtube app in my android Tab?

Question

Since I don't have a flash player to play the video from Youtube itself, I need to play it in my default MediaPlayer. The code I used is as follows:

MediaController mc = new MediaController(ctx);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        vv = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView01);
        try {

            ur = Uri.parse(Url /*+ "&fmt=18"*/); // "&fmt=18"to convert to mp4
            System.out.println("Host = " + ur.getHost());
            System.out.println("Encoded Path = " + ur.getEncodedPath());

            vv.setVideoURI(ur);
            // vv.setVideoPath("http://www.daily3gp.com/vids/747.3gp");
            vv.setMediaController(mc);
            vv.requestFocus();
            vv.start();
            mc.show();

        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println("Exception!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
                    + ex.getMessage());
        }

The thing is....It is getting the link and when we give the link to the player, it say's This Video cannot be Played.....

Please help !!!!!!!!!!!!

As CommonsWare said here: play-youtube-video-in-webview

You cannot show them embedded except perhaps on devices that have Flash.

However, if you can parse out the YouTube video details, you may be able to construct an ACTION_VIEW Intent that will show them on the YouTube application...for those Android devices that have the YouTube application.

Hope this helps.

            outstream.close();
        }
        System.out.println("Done");
    }
}

Atfirst, the URL that I gave for download was incorrect. Now, it is working...
