Question

I use this code to load YouTube Videos in an activity that supports it (normally a browser):

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" + videoId));
context.startActivity(i);

I received this anonymous track trace, I can’t work out how this has happened. Does this mean that the device doesn’t know what activity it needs to use to handle ‘http’ protocol? (i.e. no browser?)

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxx }

What if you add a valid video Id ? like “AOsgv_X_cV8”

String videoId = "AOsgv_X_cV8";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" + videoId));
context.startActivity(i);

but I think you are tryin to do this on the emulator, thats the reason for what you are getting this error message.
Use the youtube app.

try {   
url="vnd.youtube:"+videoId;
 context.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)));
} catch(ActivityNotFoundExcepiton e) {
   Toast.makeText(context, "Plase install Youtube app to see this video", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
