    You most likely want to use a WebView with the link pointed at the embedded video hyperlink.

    Something along the lines of the following:

    <LinearLayout ... >
     ... my content
    <WebView android:id="@+id/webView1" ... >
        ...
    </WebView>
</LinearLayout>

    Then use the following hook in the code (mostly from the WebView docs):

    WebView webview = (WebView) activity.getViewById(R.id.webView1);

// Simplest usage: note that an exception will NOT be thrown
// if there is an error loading this page (see below).
webview.loadUrl("http://slashdot.org/");

// OR, you can also load from an HTML string:
String summary = "<html><body>You scored <b>192</b> points.</body></html>";
webview.loadData(summary, "text/html", "utf-8");
// ... although note that there are restrictions on what this HTML can do.
// See the JavaDocs for loadData() and loadDataWithBaseURL() for more info.

    Don’t forget

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    in the manifest.
