[android-developers] Playing youtube videos on Android
Hi all, I want to learn how to stream youtube video in high quality mode (similar to those videos you watch from your android phones on the YouTube app) .I have been scouring the net to find code examples and tutorials about streaming youtube videos in high quality but those are not the ones I wanted. The examples that I found are about streaming 3gp video format and I don't want those because they are choppy and seem pixelated. Any ideas how to develop an app similar to the one as YouTube app? I know some of you may say, "YouTube app is already doing what you want to do, why bother writing something similar". I want to learn how it works :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] How to set button background color?
Hi group members, I have a question about setting the background color for buttons. When I am using btn.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED), the entire button turns into a red rectangle. Is there actually a workaround to achieve this? Also what can I do to revert back to the default color of the button (the typical plain greysh background).

"this" refers to the intention to set the button with a Red background color. I actually meant to ask if there are any other ways to set the button with a Red background color. :) > > > Also what can I do to revert back to the defaultcolorof the button > > (the typical plain greyshbackground). > > Rummage through the Android source code, figure out what the name is of > the standard ButtonbackgroundDrawable, and set thebackgroundback to > that Drawable.

[android-developers] How to install Sense UI into my HTC Magic
Hi Android Dev group members, I've been searching high and low about installing Sense UI into my HTC Magic (the one that is loaded with Google ION) but couldn't find any relevant search results. This is the closest I could find: http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html There are several terms that I do not understand, namely - root, flash, wipe. My question would be, is it even remotely possible to install Sense UI into my HTC Magic (I got that Magic phone from Google IO conference).

Thank you Paul. I initially thought that it's not possible at all to install custom firmware into Google's HTC Magic. I'll spend some time looking at xda forum.
