How to get user photos from Picasa and Flicker?

I am working on a project in which i need to integrate the picasa and Flicker to get the photos to my app.

Picasa

I searched for it got some links http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/overview.html but it doesn't work for me . there is no android tutorial in that link, please help me regarding this issue. it would be grate if any body help me with the sample project.

flicker

In this by passing user id, created from the Flickr website, able to get the images from a particular account. But i don't know how to get User Id by passing username and password from my app.

Edit : I would really appreciate any WORKING example, which tells me how to connect to the Picasa from Android in a step-by-step way. I have browsed Internet and downloading tons of git repositories with examples for three days always finding Deprecated, not working or not Android examples, or even broken links.

Solution

  • I have worked with flickr on android before and reccomend using the JSON api. List of a users photosets

    http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photosets.getList&api_key=API KEY**8&user_id=**USER ID@N07&format=json&nojsoncallback=1

    List of photos in a users photoset

    http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photosets.getPhotos&api_key=API KEY**8&photoset_id=**PHOTOSET ID&format=json&nojsoncallback=1

    List of a users public photos

    http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.people.getPublicPhotos&api_key=API KEY&user_id=USER ID@N07&format=json&nojsoncallback=1

    R.E Picasa I would recommend looking at their API Docs Picasa Developers
