Embed one or more YouTube videos​ in Sketchware App

Embedding a YouTube video in Sketchware Android App is very easy using iframe. YouTube itself provides the iframe code for embedding youtube videos.

To insert a YouTube video in your app, insert a webview in View area, at a location you want to display the YouTube video. You can insert more webview widgets, one for each video you want to display.

Set the layout_height of all webview widgets to wrap_content.

After that in Logic area, in On activity create event, use webview loadUrl block. In the space for Url, write the following code as shown in image below:
data:text/html, <iframe width="100%" height="" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5aMQZ7mSgD4" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Replace the highlighted code with your YouTube video id, and change height and width of iframe as per your requirement.

Save and Run the App. Your app will display your YouTube videos at your desired location.

Here is a video of the process:

    Bhai to add Admob ads, you have to edit source code of your App, as per instructions given by admob. You can edit it in Android studio or Eclipse, but it is very complicated process. I'm not familiar with that.

    Another alternative is to create very good apps and sell them on Play store.

    It’s not as complicated as regular SEO. It’s not as money- or time-intensive as getting your own website to the top of Google. But just like Google search, YouTube has its own search algorithm. hitet 2021
