I ran into trouble trying to replace the YouTubePlayerView with an ImageView if there was no trailer for the movie on Youtube. I attempted to have both views in the layout at the same time, one above the other (visually), and then change the visibility of the views appropriately. If there was a trailer on youtube, the ImageView would be invisible, and if their wasn't, the ImageView would be visible. However, this made the application crash.
