There are some situations may occur where you want to add an embed video in your android applications with some text in android. So the simplest way, you choose the WebView.

Steps.

Create a layout for WebView-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@android:color/white">
    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/webView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:visibility="visible"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:padding="10dp"
      /> 
</RelativeLayout>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:background="@android:color/white">

<WebView

android:id="@+id/webView"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:visibility="visible"

android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"

android:padding="10dp"

</RelativeLayout>

Add Internet permission code on your manifest.xml –

Java

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

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

Add the following code on your Activity –

WebView webView =  ((WebView) v.findViewById(R.id.webView));
 String embedString ="<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLrjT1qW1v6ykZlUHxFkha1AXR9xlZW2ga\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>"String descriptionText = "your text"
String descriptionText = " your Text";
// use for embeded youtube link in webview
 webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
 @Override
 public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
 return false;
 }
 });
 WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
 webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
 webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);

//use for RTL and LTR Languages
 if(getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.is_right_to_left)) {
 String text;
 text = "<html><body dir=\"rtl\"; style=\"text-align:justify;\">";//use for justify your text
 text += descriptionText + embedString ;
 text += "</body></html>";
 webView.loadData(text, "text/html; charset=UTF-8", "utf-8");
 }else{
 String text;
 text = "<html><body style=\"text-align:justify;\">";
 text += descriptionText + embedString;
 text += "</body></html>";
 webView.loadData(text, "text/html", "utf-8");
 }

WebView webView = ((WebView) v.findViewById(R.id.webView));

String embedString ="<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLrjT1qW1v6ykZlUHxFkha1AXR9xlZW2ga\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>"String descriptionText = "your text"

String descriptionText = " your Text";

// use for embeded youtube link in webview

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

@Override

public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {

return false;

}

});

WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();

webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);

//use for RTL and LTR Languages

if(getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.is_right_to_left)) {

String text;

text = "<html><body dir=\"rtl\"; style=\"text-align:justify;\">";//use for justify your text

text += descriptionText + embedString ;

text += "</body></html>";

webView.loadData(text, "text/html; charset=UTF-8", "utf-8");

}else{

String text;

text = "<html><body style=\"text-align:justify;\">";

text += descriptionText + embedString;

text += "</body></html>";

webView.loadData(text, "text/html", "utf-8");
