[YouTube-API] Re: Youtube data api on android forceclose....

Hello Christian,

 The existing GData Java client library doesn't play nicely with Android. I wouldn't recommend using it.

 The new Google APIs client library for Java (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/) has good Java support, and that's what I'd recommend using eventually. The new client library is meant to work with the YouTube Data API v3 (https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/), which currently is in an invite-only preview release.

 In terms of what you can actually use today, I'd recommend just using a generic HTTP library to make your requests. Something like this should work, and you can add alt=json to your request URLs to get back JSON-formatted data:

 You can use the Android account manager to handle authentication. There's an example at

I am trying to hook up the youtube api for an android app, i downloaded all the required jars and started to follow the examples at https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_java#Retrieving_and_searching_for_videos. 

I tried putting in "YouTubeService service = new YouTubeService(clientId,develober_key)" and "service.setUserCredentials("user@gmail.com", "mypassword");". 

When i try to run the app i get a forceclose with the error message "06-24 21:27:24.286: E/AndroidRuntime(10191): java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.gdata.client.youtube.YouTubeService"

Which i see is included in my reference libraries folder. Could there be something wrong with the class, or am i missing something?

All I want to do is show a list of my videos inside of a listview on an android application. Am I missing any requirements? What further steps do I have to take to get the authentication running? Is there a simpler way to do this?
