Handle player state changes and playback events, by implementing PlayerStateChangeListener and PlaybackEventListener.

To keep track with events and states of Android YouTubePlayer, implement PlayerStateChangeListener and PlaybackEventListener.

Modify from last exercise "Handle initialization error YouTube API Service".

Modify activity_main.xml to add a TextView in layout, to display our log.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="http://arteluzevida.blogspot.com/"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:autoLink="web" />
    
    <ScrollView 
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
        <LinearLayout 
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
                android:id="@+id/youtubeplayerview"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:padding="5dp" />
            <TextView 
                android:id="@+id/videolog"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
            
        </LinearLayout>
    </ScrollView>
    
</LinearLayout>

Modify MainActivity.java, to implement PlayerStateChangeListener and PlaybackEventListener.

   Toast.makeText(this, 
     "YouTubePlayer.onInitializationFailure(): " + result.toString(), 
     Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

   log +=  "MyPlayerStateChangeListener" + "\n" + 
     prompt + "\n\n=====";
   textVideoLog.setText(log);
  };

  @Override
  public void onAdStarted() {
   updateLog("onAdStarted()");
  }

  @Override
  public void onError(
    com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayer.ErrorReason arg0) {
   updateLog("onError(): " + arg0.toString());
  }

  @Override
  public void onLoaded(String arg0) {
   updateLog("onLoaded(): " + arg0);
  }

  @Override

     prompt + "\n\n=====";
   textVideoLog.setText(log);
  };

  @Override
  public void onBuffering(boolean arg0) {
   updateLog("onBuffering(): " + String.valueOf(arg0));
  }

  @Override
  public void onPaused() {
   updateLog("onPaused()");
  }

  @Override
  public void onPlaying() {
   updateLog("onPlaying()");
  }

  @Override
  public void onSeekTo(int arg0) {
   updateLog("onSeekTo(): " + String.valueOf(arg0));
  }

  @Override
