Google plans to provide developers with a new application programming interface that will make YouTube videos playback seamlessly within Android applications. Developers currently have three choices when it comes to embedding YouTube-based content within their app, none of which provides a truly seamless experience. The methods include a plugin Flash-based embed, an iFrame-based embed, or forcing users to view the content in the YouTube app itself. The new YouTube Android Player API, which itself is just three lines of code, will let developers embed YouTube content in their apps with full support for playback controls, orientation changes, fullscreen playback, ad monetization, and quality-of-stream controls. The API was discussed by Google at its recent I/O developer conference, and is slated for full availability to developers later this year.
