Implement Picasa in Android

I'm trying to retrieve albums in an Android application. Well, I suppose that I can't use: 

PicasawebService myService = new PicasawebService("exampleCo-exampleApp-1");
myService.setUserCredentials("liz@gmail.com", "mypassword");

Inside the link.

So I try to implement with some samples that i found in the web, but some classes was missing:

import com.google.api.services.picasa.PicasaClient;
import com.google.api.services.picasa.PicasaUrl;
import com.google.api.services.picasa.model.AlbumEntry;
import com.google.api.services.picasa.model.UserFeed;

So I imagine that I need to construct my own like this.

I don't know if you know a way to do this more simple or a way to integrate picasa by another way.

Please tell me if I'm in the right way.

Thanks

Solution

  • Well, really exist a few information about this.

    But i find a simple solution using normal http requests. Here's the link:

    http://rcs34-android.blogspot.com/2012/09/connect-to-picasa-album-from-android.html

    and check too the Picasa Developer References.

    If want to upload a picture is simple too. Use something like multipart and in a few lines will be work.

    Also can check the code in gdata, to get a few knowladge about the structure and how you can implement it.

    Thanks to RCS-34 for a simple solution.
