YouTube API v3 get all channels associated with a logged in user

by

Found the answer in YouTube’s API Blog here:

According to this as I’m using Android with OAuth2 there is no native Android account switcher, and

the then the API will choose the “wrong” channel in some cases, or
even no channel (e.g., if the personal account doesn’t have a
channel).

So I’ve got two options When this happens, the user has two options to specify the correct channel:

  • Use the Advanced Account Settings tool to select which channel should
    be used. This is recommended when a user has one channel they want to
    use for all applications.

  • Set up login credentials for each of their Google+ pages, and specify those > credentials, not their normal Google Account
    credentials, for each application that needs access.

Both these options require the user to do something outside the boundary of the Android Application, so both solutions are not usable. Unfortunatly this piece of functionality will have to wait until Android has some better way of switching the channel for the user…
