Step 2 :  Add YouTubePlayerView in layout

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

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

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        android:orientation="vertical

"        android:background="#006080">

  
        <com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView 

           android:layout_marginTop="10dp"

            android:layout_width="match_parent"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:visibility="visible"

            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"

            android:id="@+id/youtube_player"      />


    </LinearLayout>

Loading Video in Activity

public class PlayYouTubeVideoActivity extends YouTubeBaseActivity
{

    YouTubePlayerView youTubePlayerView;
 
    YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener onInitializedListener;


    @Override    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.watchvideo);

        youTubePlayerView = (YouTubePlayerView) findViewById(R.id.youtube_player);
      
        onInitializedListener = new YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener(){
            @Override            
             public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
                                               
             YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean b) {

                youTubePlayer.loadVideo("XXXXXXX");//Enter your Youtube Video ID here
                youTubePlayer.play();
            }

            @Override           
           public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, 
             YouTubeInitializationResult youTubeInitializationResult) {
                Log.i("KAMLESH","Youtube not initialized 
             "+youTubeInitializationResult.getErrorDialog(PlayYouTubeVideoActivity.this,5));
            }
        };

        youTubePlayerView.initialize("ENTER YOUR API KEY HERE",onInitializedListener);


    }

}
