I am trying to make an Android app which will pull uploaded videos from a channel and display them in a list view. Users will be able to watch videos, subscribe to the channel, comment, and like videos.

I have looked at using an Atom feed to get the video info from YouTube (I have a working app), but I came across the Java API for YouTube today, which abstracts all the parsing that’s needed, if I implement the REST client code myself.

My question is which is the recommended solution for this? And which will perform better?

    for sure " DON’T INVENT THE WHEEL ! "

    I build smaller application for android and believe me using YouTube API is much better than anything else.

    if you are seeking to play videos inside your Application try to see also Open-Youtube-player!

    also you should use the API for other features and for its performance you don’t need to add more leakage to your application you need it fast and light.
