I asked a question last week about how to loop a YouTube video from the Android YouTube app. The response was that it is not feasible.

I thought of a workaround where I could start a YouTube playlist that contains a number of entries of the video that I want to loop. I found this similar question, but it only works when playing in the browser. I need to play the playlist from the YouTube app. Does anyone know if it is possible to use an intent to launch the YouTube app to play a playlist?

Thanks.

    After doing some more research, I figured out how to open a playlist within the youtube app

        Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=" + playlist_id);
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    i.setData(uri);
    i.setClassName("com.google.android.youtube", "com.google.android.youtube.app.froyo.phone.PlaylistActivity");
    startActivity(i);

    I’m still not quite sure how to automatically start playing the first video though…
