You can play video in video view (the videos those are stored in local storage).

Refer to this.

but if you want to stream it from server you have to go for rtsp video streaming.

Look at this.

  • I've repaired the first link, but it is not clear what it is on that page you're drawing attention to. I wonder if the content has changed. – halfer Apr 01 '21 at 21:07

As long as the video and device supports HTML5 you can do it through that, and if it has any flash elements you can run it as a flash application and it will treat it like a web page.

There are many things to ensure that you are able to view a YouTube video in your application.

  1. Enable hardware acceleration in your application using android:hardwareAccelerated="true"

  2. Ensure that your WebView has plugins enabled webSettings.setPluginState(PluginState.ON);

If it still does not work, try loading the webpage a few times, or pass an Intent with the video link to YouTube.
