How I can hide controls, full screen buttons in Youtube Player android API?

Question

I am trying to hide the buttons in a YouTube video player (api). I used

player.setShowFullscreenButton(false)

this hides the fullscreen button successfully, but I did not find way to hide the control button -- that button can go to YouTube application.

I tried using

player.setPlayerStyle(PlayerStyle.MINIMAL);

This hides all buttons, but also changes the progress bar, but I need the old progress bar.

Any help?

Solution 1

You can initiate the player as a "Chromeless" player. That should do it.

Solution 2

Try this

In your onInitializationSuccess method use this code

player.setPlayerStyle(YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.CHROMELESS);

Full code

@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider,
                                    YouTubePlayer player, boolean wasRestored) {
    if (!wasRestored) {
        // loadVideo() will auto play video
        // Use cueVideo() method, if you don't want to play it automatically
        player.loadVideo(Config.YOUTUBE_VIDEO_CODE);
        // Hiding player controls
        player.setPlayerStyle(YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.CHROMELESS);
      //player.setPlayerStyle(YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.DEFAULT);
    }
}

Note:-

1. For showing all interactive controls

public static final YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle DEFAULT

2.For hiding all interactive controls

public static final YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle CHROMELESS

3.For showing only a time bar and play/pause controls

public static final YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle MINIMAL

But I want all the controls of YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.DEFAULT Except "YouTube" Button. How to do this in Android. It's doable in iOS & Javascript.
