NullPointerException in com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerSupportFragment.onStart (Unknown source)

Question

I use a view adapter to display videos on YouTube.

public class ViewPagerYoutubeAdapter  extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {

String whichlist, site;
private int totalItemsSize;// = 18;

public ViewPagerYoutubeAdapter(FragmentManager supportFragmentManager,
        String whichlist, String site, Context context) {
    super(supportFragmentManager);
    this.whichlist = whichlist;
    this.site = site;
    if (whichlist.equalsIgnoreCase("geetaMessages")) {
        totalItemsSize = context.getResources().getStringArray(
                R.array.geeta_messages_name).length;
    }
}


@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {





return ArrayListYoutubeFragment.newInstance(position, whichlist, site);
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return totalItemsSize;
}
}

and ArrayListYoutubeFragment looks like this: Ignore the options for now. I just want to play only one video on all pages.

public class ArrayListYoutubeFragment extends YouTubePlayerSupportFragment implements YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener{

private String currentVideoID = "video_id";
private YouTubePlayer activePlayer;

public ArrayListYoutubeFragment() {
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

}


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragments_demo, container, false);

    YouTubePlayerSupportFragment youTubePlayerFragment = (YouTubePlayerSupportFragment) getFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.youtube_fragment);
    youTubePlayerFragment.initialize(Constants.DEVELOPER_KEY, this);
    return v;
}

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static ArrayListYoutubeFragment newInstance(int position,
        String whichlist, String site) {

    ArrayListYoutubeFragment playerYouTubeFrag = new ArrayListYoutubeFragment();

    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putString("url", whichlist);

    playerYouTubeFrag.setArguments(bundle);

    return playerYouTubeFrag;
}


// @Override
public void onYouTubeVideoPaused() {
    activePlayer.pause();
}


@Override
public void onInitializationFailure(Provider arg0,
        YouTubeInitializationResult arg1) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}


@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(Provider arg0, YouTubePlayer player,
        boolean wasRestored) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     if (!wasRestored) {
          player.cueVideo("nCgQDjiotG0");
        }
}
}

but i'm getting below the error.

Faced the same problem and searched stackoverflow many times. The solution was just simple Fragmentinstead YouTubePlayerSupportFragment.

public class FragmentTrailers extends Fragment implements YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener {
    public static final String DEVELOPER_KEY = BuildConfig.YOUTUBE_API;
    private static final int RECOVERY_DIALOG_REQUEST = 1;
    private String url;

    YouTubePlayerSupportFragment youTubePlayerView;

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.detail_fragment_trailers, container, false);

        youTubePlayerView = YouTubePlayerSupportFragment.newInstance();
        FragmentTransaction transaction = getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        transaction.add(R.id.youtube_fragment, youTubePlayerView).commit();

        youTubePlayerView.initialize(DEVELOPER_KEY, this);

        return view;
    }
}

XML layout file.

      <FrameLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/youtube_fragment"/>
