No WebView required, with native YouTube Player API for Android
Friday, December 21, 2012
By Scott Knaster, Google Developers Blog Editor
This post is abridged and cross-posted from the
YouTube API Blog
.
Adding a high-quality video experience to your Android application just got a whole lot easier. Starting today, you can embed and play YouTube videos in your app using the new
YouTube Android Player API
.
The API, which was
pre-announced
at Google I/O 2012, offers these benefits:
High-quality video playback supported on Android 2.2 (Froyo) or newer.
Easy integration
with your Android application (no
WebView
required).
Fullscreen
and orientation change support.
Closed captions
display.
Support for YouTube ads.
Programmatic access, similar to existing
Player APIs
, to most aspects of the
YouTube video playback experience
.
Integration with the Android YouTube app using a standard set of YouTube
Intents
.
We are launching the API as
experimental
, although we do not expect major interface changes going forward.
The only limit now is your imagination (and
ToS
)
These
instructions
explain how to include the API client library in your Android application. The library is supported on Android devices running version
4.2.16
or newer of the Android YouTube app. By including the library in your project, you can create rich video playback experiences through the ability to control and customize the video player.
Flipboard
, shown below, is a good example. See the
full post
for more cool app examples.

New mod_pagespeed: cache advances, progressive JPEGs
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Bharath
Jan-Willem
Joshua
By Joshua Marantz, Jan-Willem Maessen, and Bharath Bhushan, PageSpeed Team
When mod_pagespeed launched in November 2010, one of its benefits was to help websites better
exploit browser caching
by signing URLs with the resource content hash. This improves the user experience coming back to the same site, and navigating within a site.
In mod_pagespeed 1.2 we have released two new features that improve the caching experience for users coming to a site for the first time:
canonicalize_javascript_libraries
and
insert_dns_prefetch
. For additional speedups, converting jpegs to progressive format has been added to the Core Filter Set, and the scope of optimization has been extended to include resources served by external servers, even if they are not running mod_pagespeed.
Your web page loads faster when JQuery is preloaded in users' browser
Numerous web sites use common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and jQuery UI. But when one library is stored on many sites, browsers end up re-downloading that library for each new site – a waste of time and bandwidth. The new
canonicalize_javascript_libraries
filter in mod_pagespeed finds such libraries on your site and replaces them with links to the equivalent libraries on
ajax.googleapis.com
. With the optimization, a browser will notice that your site is requesting the library from the same shared library provider as a previous site it visited, and will use the copy in its cache.
It’s possible to do this by hand, but there are a number of reasons why you might prefer to automate the process. Most important is that you may be using third-party code on your web sites that includes some of these libraries. Using
canonicalize_javascript_libraries
lets you replace these with hosted versions without having to touch third-party code. It also lets you use local, un-minified JavaScript source code for these libraries while you are debugging your site, and then transition automatically to using minified hosted code when you deploy. The filter spots external libraries using a hash signature; we’ve added a new configuration file, pagespeed_libraries.conf, that stores these signatures, so that you can upgrade the signature configuration without disrupting the rest of your apache installation.
Resolving DNS entries early for critical assets saves hundreds of milliseconds
DNS resolution time varies from <1ms for locally cached results, to hundreds of milliseconds due to the cascading nature of DNS. This can contribute significantly to total page load time. Below is a WebPagetest waterfall showing how DNS lookup time can affect page load time.
The new
insert_dns_prefetch
filter inserts
<link rel="dns-prefetch">
tags to allow the browser to pre-resolve DNS for resources on the page. The waterfall below shows the improvement after inserting the hints.
<link rel="dns-prefetch">
is supported on
Chrome
,
Firefox
and
Internet Explorer
.
Improved performance by optimizing external resources and progressive JPEG
In addition to these new capabilities, mod_pagespeed 1.2 can
proxy and optimize resources from trusted domains
. This feature enables you to optimize resources even from servers that don't run mod_pagespeed. Beyond compressing and cache-extending such resources, this can improve performance of sites running SPDY where the best practices for performance are to serve all resources from the same domain (see
mod_spdy
).
Further,
convert_jpeg_to_progressive
is now a ‘core’ filter. Large JPEG images are now transcoded to progressive. This both improves the browser experience and makes such files smaller.
To see more details about the release, check out the
release notes
and
mod_pagespeed download
page.
Joshua Marantz
runs Google’s PageSpeed team in Cambridge, MA, which is dedicated to making the web faster for everyone. Josh has been working on making software run fast for several decades, at Google and before that on accelerated chip simulation.
Jan Maessen wrote the earliest version of the image and JavaScript filters in mod_pagespeed and has been with the team ever since. Before joining Google, he was a co-designer and library implementer for the Fortress programming language.
Bharath Bhushan works on making website performance better. He has a Masters in CS from IIT Madras, India.

Putting Zürich before Århus
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
By Mark Davis, International Software Architect
Until now, it has been very difficult for web application designers to do something as simple as sort names correctly according to the user's language. And it matters: English readers wouldn’t expect Århus to sort below Zürich, but Danish speakers would.
Because linguistic sorting requires a sophisticated algorithm and lots of data, it was impractical to do this natively in JavaScript. Until now, the only full solution for sorting on the client side was to generate on a server a sortKey for every string that needed to be sorted, and send the sortkeys — base64-encoded — down to the client along with the strings. Pretty ugly! And what’s doubly frustrating is that the underlying operating systems have all been able to handle this, whether through
International Components for Unicode (ICU)
or Windows APIs.
The new internationalization specification for ECMAScript (the “official” name for JavaScript) changes this picture. It is already in the production version of Chrome, and is on track for other major browsers.
Linguistic sorting is not the only benefit—not only will users be able to see names sorted correctly, but also correct numeric values (“1,234.56” in English, but “1.234,56” in German), dates (“March 10, 2012” vs “10. März 2012”), and so on. While the results might not be precisely the same in every browser, they should be appropriate to the language, and are returned using a uniform API.
On any enabled browser — in its supported languages — web application developers can:
compare strings correctly:
choosing whether or not to ignore accents, case differences, etc.
format numbers correctly:
choosing decimal places, currencies, whether to use thousands-separator, etc.
format dates and times correctly:
choosing decimal places, numeric vs named months, etc.
match locales:
comparing the user’s desired locales (say Arabic and French) against the supported locales (say French, German, and English), to get the best match.
The API also allows for linguistic support in offline web applications, which wasn’t practical before. It builds on the industry standards
BCP47
(for identifying languages and locales) and
LDML
(part of the
Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) project
). For the gory details of the spec, see
ECMA-402: ECMAScript Internationalization API Specification
(just approved by the Ecma General Assembly).

The simpler, yet more powerful new YouTube Data API
Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Pepijn
Vlad
Raul
By Raul Furnică, Tech Lead; Vladimir Vuskovic, Product Manager; and Pepijn Crouzen, Software Engineer, YouTube API Team
This post is abridged and cross-posted from the
YouTube API Blog
.
Since its initial
launch
in 2007, the YouTube Data API has become one of Google’s most popular APIs by request volume, thanks to the
awesome apps
from developers like you. To help you make better integrated video experiences, you can now use the YouTube API
version 3.0
. The new API is easy to use thanks to rich client library support, improved tooling, reference documentation and integration with Google’s common API infrastructure. Version 3.0 only returns what you ask for and uses JSON rather than XML encoding for greater efficiency. The API introduces new core functionality including
Freebase
integration via topics, and universal search. If you develop social media management apps, you’ll love channel bulletin post and full subscriber list management, also new in this release. Version 3.0 of the API constitutes the API's biggest overhaul to date and we’re eager for you to
try it today
!
New functionality: Topics, universal search, and audience engagement support
Have you ever tried to search for YouTube videos only to find out that keyword search can produce ambiguous results? With the new Topics API, thanks to the power of
Freebase
, you can find exactly what you’re looking for by specifying Freebase topic IDs rather than search keywords.
For example, if you’re reading this post from outside of the US and you would like to search for content related to football,
/m/02vx4
is probably the topic ID you're after. The API's
universal search
feature lets you retrieve channels, playlists and videos matching the topic with just one request like
this one
. Find out more in our Topics API Guide.
Version 3.0 introduces better tools to engage and interact with your YouTube audience. Social media management apps can now help content creators communicate with their
channel subscribers
using bulletin
posts
.

Fridaygram: Lady Ada Lovelace, evolving limbs, ancient labyrinth
Friday, December 14, 2012
By Scott Knaster,
Google Developers Blog
Editor
This week we celebrated the 197th birthday of computing pioneer
Lady Ada Lovelace
with a nifty
Google Doodle
. Among other accomplishments, Ada is credited with publishing the
world's first algorithm
for use with
Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine
.
Coincidentally, also this week we launched the latest episodes in our
Women Techmakers
series on
Google Developers Live
. We're highlighting women who are making big social impacts through their innovations in tech. Please check it out.
In other areas of science this week, researchers in Spain used zebra fish to test an idea about
limbs evolving from fins
. The scientists ramped up the activity of a particular gene, which caused the fish to produce rudimentary limbs instead of fins. This might be an evolutionary clue about where our own arms and legs came from.
Finally, it looks like the mystery of line drawings in the Peruvian desert has been solved, according to Clive Ruggles, who is an archaeoastronomer (which might be the coolest job title ever) and archaeologist Nicholas Saunders.
Ruggles says the drawings are a labyrinth
, and "This labyrinth was meant to be walked, not seen". Well said, and in that spirit, we hope you get out and take a walk of your own this weekend, even if you don’t have an awesome ancient labyrinth nearby.
Each Friday
on this blog we skip our usual developer topics and offer interesting (we hope) stuff that’s not directly related to writing code.

Fridaygram: Global Impact, lunar mapping, transforming robot
Friday, December 7, 2012
By Scott Knaster,
Google Developers Blog
Editor
This week
Google Giving
launched the
Global Impact Awards
, to recognize and reward achievements that use technology to improve people’s lives. The awards go to groups that have already accomplished dramatic results and provide continued funding so they can keep changing the world by providing clean water, protecting endangered species, and doing other wonderful things.
If you want to find out more about the Global Impact Awards, visit
the home page
, or learn about the other
grant programs of Google Giving
.
Meanwhile, near the moon, scientists have published the
first mapping images
from the tandem spacecraft
Ebb and Flow
, which reached lunar orbit about a year ago. This program, called GRAIL (Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory), uses the two spacecraft to study lunar features in great detail, providing unprecedented information about Earth’s moon. So far, the data shows craters, peaks, and volcanic formations, but no huge surprises like giant alien transformer robots.
Speaking of transformer robots,
here’s one you can enjoy on video
. Sure, it’s neither giant nor alien, but it’s still very cool, don’t you think? Have a great weekend!
On Fridays we depart from our usual developer topics and post a
Fridaygram
, which features interesting nerdy stuff for fun and knowledge. This week we acknowledge Walt Disney’s eleventy-first birthday, and the happy news that his creation
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
will
finally get a voice
after 85 years of silence.
Google HackFair in South Korea
Wednesday, December 5, 2012
By Soonson Kwon, Developer Relations Program Manager
For developers and engineers, the best way to learn something is to get your hands dirty and try making something. That is why Google hosts many hackathons around the world. Last November 17 and 18, we had a bigger experiment at Gangnam (yes, this is the very Gangnam in
Gangnam Style
!) in Seoul, South Korea which expanded a 1-2 day hackathon into a much longer one which we called Google HackFair.
The idea was to give developers enough time (2 months) to develop something bigger and provide a nice chance to showcase their projects. 153 developers submitted 92 projects, and 40 projects were chosen from among them and displayed. Developers used many different technologies, including Android, Chrome, App Engine, and HTML5, and they completed creative and interesting projects:
a remote controlled car guided by Android, a serial terminal for Chrome, a braille printer using Go, and many more
!
Besides the exhibition, we also prepared a mini-conference and GDG (Google Developers Group) booth where Googlers and community developers gave 27 sessions in total.
More than 1000 people attended and enjoyed the Google HackFair. Although the event is finished, developers continue updating and polishing their projects. It was a great time indeed.
If you are interested in details for the projects including full demos or source code, please check
