Question

I tried various option like:

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(vnd.youtube://"+<id>);

But it seems like I cannot start the Intent in full screen forced mode.

A solution could be to do a webview. But there should be a way force full screen.

Maybe I can fix it by adding a bundle to the Intent?

please help 🙂

Answer 1

As for YouTube v4.1.47, you can do the following:

Intent playIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
playIntent.setData(Uri.parse(<yout_YouTube_url>));
playIntent.putExtra("force_fullscreen", true);

It might work on older versions, but I haven’t tested it.
