Hello everybody,

it seems that I'm not the first one, but I don't find anything that helps. I'm new to Android and would like to develop a real simple photo sharing app (three tabs: camera, gallery and upload to Picasa) to start off. Unfortunately the Google Data APIs for Java, don't run on Android and I didn't find a good tutorial for the newer Google Data API. I also couldn't get the Android Picasa sample to run: Eclipse complains about a buildpath error, but doesn't show what exactly is wrong.

I'm looking for an easy tutorial how to use Picasa with Android. Anyone has some kind of "middleware classes" between the old and the new API which one can use. How do I fix the buildpatj problem to run the sample or how in general can I import external JARs to my Android project.

A: 

Thanks for reporting the problem, Daniel. I actually fixed this bug recently on 9/13/2010. Please try the sample again and let me know if you encounter any problems.

Thank you very much for your support. That makes sense. The error message of the IllegalStateException said that you can't start the activity in the main thread. I used the other Android example and switched to ClientLogin for my purpose, which works ok, since I couldn't set-up a Google Account in Android 2.1 ... or is there any other way?
