[Q] cardboard and video - Java for Android App Development

Hi everyone,
First I'm sorry if my post is in the wrong place.
I've recently started to look at the Google Carboard and I wanted to play with it making an app.
My goal was very basic: display a video but I'm stuck.
I don't know where to start from. Does anyone know about good tutorials on cardboard?
The one provided by google and the treasure hunt is bit short for me
Thanks
Marc

In addition, what I've done is I've modified the treasurehunt app to display a movie using MediaPlayer.
It works fine if I don't if th VR mode is disabled but when I enable it I get the following error
EGLNativeWindowType 0x765d1230 already connected to another API
eglCreateWindowSurface:414 error 3003 (EGL_BAD_ALLOC)
has s/o any idea ?

HTC Youtube App Problem!

Hello,
I am really sorry to bother you nice folks around here, but I have a problem.
A friend of mine used the Google Youtube app. He told me it was was an great app and that I should try it.
Because I trusted him, I did.
But if you install the Google Youtube app, it gets rid of your HTC Youtube App.
And we all know wich one is superior!
If I open an video through www.m.youtube.com I still get the same quality and interface as in the HTC Youtube app, so I guess my app is still hidden somewhere! I have searched everywhere on my device, but I could not find a file that redirects to the Youtube app. It's probably gone.
I found this, but is does not work on my device; http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/02...wvga-youtube-app-ported-to-vga.html#more-3424
And I can't download and try these cabs; because of restrictions due the fact that I am living in the Netherlands.

Could you guys help me out?

I had the exact same problem as you.
Don't download any youtube apps.
I did and it caused more problems like the registry font tweak and search sort order
stopped working..
So I installed the youtube apps that is flying around the internet.
If you install those, the tweaks font work.
Like you said the original youtube program is stored in
Windows folder, Just create a shortcut of one of those 2 youtube files
in Windows\start menu folder.
And you will have your youtube back in perfect condition.
Now.. my question is.. is there a youtube app that lets you view comments?
The htc one is quite good, but only if it allowed us to view comments..
The Android youtube app were really good at that..
Or is there a way to make opera like the safari on iPhone?
Instead of saying browser needs flash, Iphone just creates the video link
for all youtube apps so the browser triggers the iphone youtube app to handle
those flash youtube videos...
Please tell me if there is something similar on hd2..
Thank you so much! I was looking everywhere on the device! Just overlooked this one
And no, I haven't heard of something like that.
Instead I change the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4OnhnvczTk into
http://www.m.youtube.com/watch?v=z4OnhnvczTk
That's my workaround when i get directed to a youtube link from twitter or windows live.

[Q] Youtube API, show 1 or 2 Channel/s

So I got a idea for a app that will only display The Latest Videos from one or two Youtube Channels! But I don't get API, sorry but I'm noob at that.
I have downloaded the Youtube API from the official site, still don't get it. And also there will be a option that you play the video when you click it in the app, not in the Youtube app!
Forgot to say that I have only been developing in a few months. And API is new for me.
I really need help at this and I'll appreciate it very much if anybody can help me!
You can send a PM if you want
Thanks.

Google Slides

Hey guys I just got done installing CM 12.1 on my Nexus Player and was doing some testing for work. What I need to do is play a google slide in a loop which doesn't seem to work as far as I can see but just wanted to see if anybody has gotten anything like this working. Google Slides installed fine and it seems to let me edit the presentations fairly easily but there doesn't seem to be a play button anywhere in the app like there is on my phone so I just wanted to ask around before I gave up on it. Thanks guys!!

Cardboard requires a gyrometer. The Galaxy Prime has a different set of tools for tracking motion. As a result, Google Cardboard won't install and some apps won't work. However, a lot of apps do work as long as you are okay with the default settings. Just download and run them without installing Cardboard.
Also have a Galaxy Prime, so I'm looking for a solution too. But the lack of a gyrometer is the problem.
ADDED: If you visit the mirror site for Google Cardboard (Google it) you can download one of the earlier APKs and install it as a 3rd party app (you have to set your phone to allow unknown apps in the security settings). Install as a default device. This won't solve the gyrometer problem, but it will let you open apps that require you to have Cardboard to open them.

Got this phone, but it's blocked by Google verification - how to bypass?

Hey everyone, I hope I'm in the correct forum for this. A friend gifted me his old smartphone, actually it was his uncle's phone who passed away. Now Google won't let me use it, because we don't have the correct login-data. A watched tons of youtube videos, but it seems they're all outdated. The latest are downloading a new keyboard language (this seems to have been fixed) or accessing the YouTube app through clicking on a video in the "help and feedback" section in the TalkBack settings (YouTube is outdated on my phone, so it wants me to update it, but the "not now" option is not available, so I guess this has been fixed as well).
So is there any new method how to bypass this FRP unlock thing? Thanks in advance for answers.
