How to use bit.ly in android

Question

How to implement bit.ly api in android or any url shorten api plz suggest me something

Answer 1

To get started, you'll need a free bit.ly user account and apiKey. Signup at: http://bit.ly/a/sign_up

Read developer documentation of bit.ly: creating a new URL, authentication, etc. Once authenticated you need to fire a HTTP GET request to shorten a URL.

Sample url:

http://api.bit.ly/v3/shorten?login=bitlyapidemo&apiKey=yourAPIkey&longUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fbetaworks.com%2F&format=xml
