YouTube Player crashes (java.lang.NullPointerException, null object reference)

my YouTube Player crashes and I do not know why.

This is my Java Code: @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_youtube); Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
    drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
    toggle.syncState();

    NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);


    playerFragment = (YouTubePlayerSupportFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.youtube_player_fragment);
    playerFragment.initialize(YouTubeKey, this);
}



@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean b) {
    mPlayer = youTubePlayer;

    //Enables automatic control of orientation
    mPlayer.setFullscreenControlFlags(YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CONTROL_ORIENTATION);

    //Show full screen in landscape mode always
    mPlayer.addFullscreenControlFlag(YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_ALWAYS_FULLSCREEN_IN_LANDSCAPE);

    //System controls will appear automatically
    mPlayer.addFullscreenControlFlag(YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CONTROL_SYSTEM_UI); 

    if (!b) {
        mPlayer.cueVideo("xxx");
        mPlayer.loadVideo("xxx");
    }
    else
    {
        mPlayer.play();
    }
}

@Override
public void onInitializationFailure(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubeInitializationResult youTubeInitializationResult) {
    mPlayer = null;
    String ausgabe = youTubeInitializationResult.toString();
    Log.d("hi", ausgabe);
} }

Problem was solved

I tried a lot of these suggestions but none worked for me. I finally ended up creating a container and then replacing it at runtime with the YouTubeFragment. This worked perfectly fine for me.

  1. Created a containerView in my layout file as, please note its just a part of my layout file

    <View
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="1dp"
    android:background="@color/gray90"/>



<FrameLayout
    android:padding="20dp"
    android:id="@+id/youtubeContent"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

  2. Then I created an instance of the youtube fragment as below

    youTubePlayerFragment = YouTubePlayerSupportFragment.newInstance();

  3. I then replaced it using the standard way as below:-

    FragmentManager manager = getFragmentManager(); FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction(); transaction.replace(R.id.youtubeContent,youTubePlayerFragment).commit();

I hope this helps others

Right now we need some additional information to definitively answer this question, but it appears that this line is returning null, which suggests that you want to take a look at your resource XML and make sure you're grabbing the fragment properly.

getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.youtube_player_fragment);

You may benefit from taking a look at this related question:

findFragmentById return null

I suspect that the problem may be that in your resources XML, you're not declaring the fragment using the support library.

Try using:

<fragment
  android:name="com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerSupportFragment"
