[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.

[Q] Google Play Book dictionary stopped working after update

Before the latest update (on 7th Oct), the dictionary in play book was working fine. After update, it stopped working, but the translate function still works. Is this common for all?

I've noticed the same exact thing on my Nexus 7. Its really bugging me because I do use Play Books and the offline dictionary all the time.
Is there an older version of the Play Books APK that can be downloaded?

Same here... Why is no one else bothered by this? Does everyone use the Kindle app?

I am very bothered by this. lol
Has anyone found a solution for this. Can any other people confirm if it's working or not?
If not i'm thinking of moving away from play books. What are some alternatives with a clean interface and the ability to change the background?

I have the same problem. Whatbi find interesting is that its only a problem is the eBook in self uploaded. If you brought a book via play store or download a free sample from the store then the dictionary works fine.

Good news: I got a reply to a Play Store review saying that this is a bug and that they will resolve it very soon. Fingers crossed!

Better news! It's finally working for me. Can't believe something so small had been bugging me so much. Glad it's back.

Sorry to pull this thread out but the dictionary is not working for me on the note 3. I am on CM11 4.4 KitKat, is this the cause?

[Q] cardboard and video

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 ?

[Q] Show XDA: Blue Colony - the app store on your smartwatch

My colleague Stefano and I developed Blue Colony: The Android Wear Appstore. It's an app store that runs directly on your smartwatch. We want to make it easy and fun to discover cool new smartwatch apps. What do you think?
Google Play -> Blue Colony

Ok, I like it.
I will continue to like it as long as it is updated, regularly.
Yes when you open Android Wear Manager there are suggestions.
Yes there is a thread that compiles a list.
but
This is the only thing that works from the watch, you can see what an app would look like if you install it.
Blue Colony

great to hear from you !
Hi Astro Digital,
Somehow my answer got lost here ! I want to thank you for your great feedback here and in Gplay!
We are working on a big update atm and will start maintaining the apps-list from next week on.
The biggest new feature we will implement is a wishlist function, which we think will be really awesome , hope you will like it, too.
I wish you a great week and all the best from Munich,
philippe.

[Q] Android Wear won't send voice replies but everything else works

I've encountered a really strange problem on my watch (Samsung Gear Live) lately. Not a single texting app will let me use the "reply" button with voice.
Example: Friend texts me, text pops up on my watch. I swipe it and click "Reply" and try to reply using my voice. The text will write out on my watch screen, but the red Google mic icon just sits there for about 10 seconds as if its still thinking it's receiving input, and then it takes me to the "disconnected/watch is offline" screen.
But the watch is obviously not disconnected: I can exit that app and tap the screen and say "Okay Google" and then say "Text friend 'hi how's it going'" and the text will send without a problem.
I've encountered this error when using Coffee SMS, WearResponses, and Google Messenger. I've reset the watch, and cleared Android Wear data, and the problem still persists. This makes no sense. Any ideas/suggestions?

I have the same problem on my LG G Watch R.
I received the Watch today, the reply function worked once or twice, but now it does the same as yours

My Gear Live is still under warranty so I've sent it in to Samsung. We'll see if they are able to fix it...

Update: So, Samsung just replaced the entire watch for me. I'm setting it up now to see if the problem is fixed. Has anyone with the same problem tried factory resetting their *phone*?
UPDATE 2: Well, crap. It still doesn't work. I'm going to try pairing the watch with a different phone sometime in the near future to see if it's my phone. It's obviously not the watch.

Out of curiosity, what version of the Google Search app do you have installed?

Okay, I got it working. Obviously, there's probably some degree of magical Googleness that happened, too, but here's what I did:
Background: I had Google 5 installed from the Android M preview, and I had also previously sideloaded a newer version of Google Play Services (still compatible with my phone, of course)
1. Booted watch into recovery; factory reset several times.
2. Meanwhile, uninstalled updates to Google Play Services, and then download update from the Play Store
3. In the Play Store, uninstall updates for Google App (Google Search), then update from the Play Store
4. Turn on watch, pair with phone, and then pray over it
5. Test out an app (I use Coffee SMS), text yourself, and try replying to it. It might tell you that "Google Play Services must be installed" - I rebooted my phone and then manually connected the watch via the Android Wear app, and then tested it and it worked.
YMMV.

Thanks for keeping us up to date
I too, was finally able to get it corrected, but mine was a bit easier. The only real difference between what you first described and my situation - was that I am using the LG Urbaine Watch with the new LG G4. LIke you (and someone else) it worked a few times and I was thinking that would be my most used feature. Later - it stopped working and my research began. I thought it might have something to do w/ my loading up the LG Call companion app - but after taking that off - it still didn't work. Finally, a good friend of mine that is an Android lover - suggested I switch from the Verizon Message plus application - to the generic one provided by LG. As soon as we made the switch - the Text message response option appeared again. In fact, in addition the reply arrow - I also could see a full list of the conversation with that particular party. Very happy in making that little change.
