Thanks this is worked for me

I'm getting error "Cannot access 'b' : it is package-private in 'YouTubePlayerView'.
How can I import 'com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView.b'?

I think you are referencing a wrong thing. The only thing you import is com.google.android.youtube.player.internal.ab and b shouldn't be imported since it's the Bundle defined in the class.

Thanks! I have wrong directory name..

Hm, I also get this error Cannot access 'b': it is package-private in 'YouTubePlayerView' but I do only import .ab. hm

Ah TIL: the package has to be the package!

little issue using this, here is what I get: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.template.youtubetest.MainActivity cannot be cast to androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity

Post a simple git hub of the working code, if you want, confused, I think Kotlin is rubbish of novelty
