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

Hello Mitch,

There is no supported Java client library that works on Android. The
older Java client library (http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-
client/) is not intended for use on Android, and the newer Java client
library that does work on Android (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-
java-client/) doesn't currently have official support for the YouTube
API. It's possible to use the newer Java client library with the
YouTube API in an "unofficial" way, as you've found, but it's not very
straightforward and I'd recommend just doing raw HTTP requests and
parsing JSON responses instead, as I mentioned above.

Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, YouTube API Team
