Connect to Picasa from Android

Question

Hi all,

I want to connect to Picasa from an Android application (without interacting with any third-party application).

I tried to Google it and found no tutorial / explanation.

Even in Picasa Web API site there is no explanations for Android.

I will really appreciate any tutorial / sample code / instructions.

Thank you.

Michael.

Answer 1

Definitely check out the source code for Google's sample Photostream application, part of the apps-for-android sample code pack. In particular, the Flickr.java file from that project should give you a pretty good handle on how to call a Web service from an Android application.

The code's mostly from late 2008, so it's not cutting-edge Android 2.1 code, but you're going to want to support Android 1.5 minimum for at least a few months more anyways.
