YouTube profile / channel intent

I can set up the YouTube app to watch videos quite easily, but how do I access my profile / channel?

public void YouTube(String id) { // Play Youtube Video Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("vnd.youtube:"+id)); mContext.startActivity(i); }

I ... just don't know where to really start here? Is there a specific Uri to parse? Of course, I tried the Internet, and I went to dry words. Is this possible in the first place?

Thanks guys!

There is currently no specific URI scheme for channels that will launch the YouTube app directly. The vnd.youtube schema vnd.youtube defined only for an activity that plays a single video. Thus, you should specify the canonical YouTube URL for the channel page and, as a rule, allow the user to go through the application selection dialog - provided that the YouTube application is installed on the device, at least two entries will be displayed in the dialog box, the second for the browser.

By following these steps, you can launch the Youtube App to display the channel directly.

 Intent intent=null; try { intent =new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setPackage("com.google.android.youtube"); intent.setData(Uri.parse(url)); startActivity(intent); } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) { intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setData(Uri.parse(url)); startActivity(intent); }

And to display a channel, keep in mind to specify a url in the format http://www.youtube.com/user/channelName
