Use:

 String fullURL = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5-gtsdenpE;
 String emb = fullURL.split("\\?v=")[1];

If you are requirement is static and you are sure that you have to get the value after "v" than you can try this also 

String emb  = url.substring(url.indexOf("v"), url.length()).trim();

Url url = new Url(driver.getCurrentUrl());
Map<String, String[]> params = parameterMapFromString(url.getQuery());
String v = params.get("v")[0];

This is what you want I guess-

    String string = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5-gtsdenpE";
    URL url = new URL(string);
    System.out.println(url.getQuery());

Handle the exception appropriately.

In case you don't want to use URL class, just search for the first index of ? and then use substring() to get the string after that.

    System.out.println(string.substring(string.indexOf("?")+1));
