[YouTube-API] Re: Author or Channel Query?

Hello Mitch,

I'm assuming you're using the newer Google APIs Client Library for
Java (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/). While this
does have good support for Android, there isn't much by way of native
YouTube API support in the library at this time.

What you are probably better off doing is making a raw HTTP request
yourself to the following URL, and deserializing the JSON response
into a Java object that you could then access from your code.

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/AUTHOR/uploads?v=2&alt=jsonc

Here are two random examples of making an HTTP request from Android
and parsing the JSON response:

http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2011/01/android-json-parsing-gson-tutorial.html

(I haven't tried either code examples myself.)

Cheers,
