YouTubePlaylist

A sample Android application which demonstrates the use of the YouTube Data API v3.

This sample app makes use of the YouTube Data API v3 classes to fetch a YouTube Playlist using the GetPlaylistAsyncTask which then extracts the list of Video's the playlist contains. The list of video's are then presented using a RecyclerView of CardView's in the YouTubeRecyclerViewFragment. The data binding of video details to CardView is handled by the PlaylistCardAdapter.

Picasso is used for downloading and caching the video thumbnail images. And lastly a retained fragment is used to persist the PlaylistVideos datamodel across orientation changes.
