Play youtube video but not fullscreen

Question

I want to play youtube video, but not fullscreen as i have to write the description below the video. I found many answers but all of them were through intent and take the whole page.

Are you trying to play it within your own activity? – FoamyGuy Mar 12 '12 at 14:17 — FoamyGuy, Mar 12 '12 at 14:17

the person in this question seemed to get it working Streaming Youtube Videos

However it is somewhat dated. And I don't see many other people who have claimed to have luck getting youtube videos to stream with MediaPlayer / VideoView. It seems like launching the Youtube activity is the preferred way to accomplish it.

Use WebChromeClient (notice CHROME) and a WebView, at least on my tablet that works.
