Hi, have another more fundamental question... I'm writing a 2-way sync
client using the Java API, and so need to be able to update existing photos
within Picasaweb when they change on the local disk. However, I don't seem
to be able to replace the media in an existing PhotoEntry with any success.
Here's my code:
log.info( "Updating image in album " + albumName + ": " + imageFile);
List<MediaContent> media = remotePhoto.getMediaContents();
media.remove(0);
MediaFileSource myMedia = new MediaFileSource( newImageFile, "image/jpeg" );
remotePhoto.setMediaSource(myMedia);
remotePhoto.setClient(SYNC_CLIENT_NAME);
try
{
myPhoto.update();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
log.error("Unable to update media: " + newImageFile + ": " + ex);
}
I've tried it both with and without the lines where I remove the media content,
but neither works. The photo is definitely being updated - I can see the data
of the online photo updating the the new time, but the media isn't replaced. Am
I missing something?
I was wondering if for actually replacing the photo itself whether
PhotoEntry.update() is the wrong thing to do, and I should actually delete the
whole photoEntry and upload an entirely new entry. I couldn't find any example
code which attempts to do this when I googled. What's the trick?
