how to use card view extension with this

Here Instead of YouTubeList.AddItem you can add it to your Grid View. It depends on the Grid/Card View You are Using

Make 3 List called Images, titles and subtitles and add items into it instead of adding it to the YoutubeList. After it finishes Call the Input Function of the Card View and set the images to the images list title to the titles list and subtitles to the subtitles list.

Make sure not to place the CardView Input Block in the loop. Place it after the loop

For your question number 3: Yes but only if it is your channel, otherwise you need a licence for that from the channel owner.This licence you have to show in your policy,term of use to the user. If you dont publish his licence there, you app will be rejected.

DO NOT make your apiKey visible, because it is a type of sensitive information!

It’s Fine, because it’s a test project and I have even deleted it so it won’t work

One more question, you used “date” to order videos on the basis of time, what to use for sorting videos by views?

The error was due to spinner i used to sort videos on the basis of views and time…it is resolved now

Note:
I have heard that Google is going to make some amendments in their API system so projects like YouTube sub counter etc can suffer for some time, I don’t know if Google has already done this or going to do this in near future, I will try Adding some accurate info about it tomorrow
