YouTubeThumbnailView Example

I'm attempting to use YouTubeThumbnailView to setup multiple thumbnails for a series of youtube videos. The problem is the same thumbnail is repeated over an over so I'm looking for an example of how this can be accomplished.

I've attempted to google search the issue but I've only been able to find examples with one thumbnail - I'm simply looking for an example of how to setup more than one (correctly).

YouTubeThumbnailView Documentation:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/reference/com/google/android/youtube/player/YouTubeThumbnailView

Previous (unsuccessful) attempt:

YouTube API does not play videos as expected

I know your question was posted a long time ago, but for someone who will try to find solution later.

YouTubeThumbnailView youTubeThumbnailView;
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);

for(int i = 0 ; i < videos.length ; i++){
   final String videoID = videos[i];

   youTubeThumbnailView = new YouTubeThumbnailView(this);
   youTubeThumbnailView.setTag(videoID);
   youTubeThumbnailView.initialize(API_KEY, this);

   ll.addView(youTubeThumbnailView);
}

and for initialization

@Override
     public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubeThumbnailView thumbnailView, 
       YouTubeThumbnailLoader thumbnailLoader) {

      youTubeThumbnailLoader = thumbnailLoader;
      thumbnailLoader.setOnThumbnailLoadedListener(new ThumbnailLoadedListener());  

      youTubeThumbnailLoader.setVideo(thumbnailView.getTag().toString());     
     }
