Youtube Player Api Throwing Exception

I looked into other threads, but found no solution for this, except it was originally detected for API 21, i.e. Lollipop. While, I am facing this issue in Lollipop as well as post-

Solution 1:

Finally I got rid of this issue. I replaced the YouTubeSupportFragment with YouTubeBaseActivity and used YouTubePlayerView to play the video.

In other words, I used an Activity extending YouTubeBaseActivity to play the video instead of a Fragment.

Hope it helps someone getting the issue.
