Why write custom functionality when a library can do it for you? Developers’ best friends and life savors are libraries. In my opinion, a good project makes use of some of the best libraries available.

This article is a part of a series on the awesome libraries for Android in which I always compiled a list of 7 Android libraries that will help you in your development journey.

1. youtube-player

As you have guessed by the name this library will help you by providing a stable and customizable open-source YouTube player. It provides a simple View that can be easily integrated into every Activity/Fragment. The library is a wrapper over the IFrame Player API, which runs inside of a WebView. Therefore the YouTube app is not required on the user’s device and there are no issues with YouTube Terms of Service. It also supports Chromecast. This library has more than 2.8k stars on GitHub.
