I finally figured it out! It was an extremely frustrating task because
all the documentation was wrong...but here is what I found worked for
me to access the persistent app data for the user (Viewer):
when setting the data i did this:
req.add(req.newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest("VIEWER", data, "foo"));
NOTE: the second param is actually the one where you have to put your
data!! in fact, the last param, "foo" doesn't really do anything, just
put any string there. When i tried removing the third param all
together the request did not work, so make sure to put some value
there.
When accessing your app data do the following:
var fields = "*";
req.add(req.newFetchPersonAppDataRequest(viewer, fields), 'dataKey');
req.send(callbackAfterGettingData);
NOTE: for the fields I simply used an asterick to tell orkut to return
all fields for the user's app data.
In your callback function do the following:
stringData = data.get('dataKey').getData()[me.getId()]["VIEWER"];
userAppData =
gadgets.json.parse(gadgets.util.unescapeString(stringData));
NOTE: use the 'dataKey' you specified in your earlier function, then
use the user's open social id to access their app data and finally ALL
of the user's data is stored in an object property called "VIEWER".
Once you access the VIEWER property you will get back all the data you
stored!
I hope this saves someone else loads of time!
(btw, the steps above are for Orkut using OpenSocial API v0.8)
