Hello developers, We've just published the new orkut Client Library 2.0 Developer Guide<http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/docs/clientlib/intro.html> !
It is essentially a guided tour through the main features of the orkut Client Library and is intended to get you up and running with it as soon as possible. If you've worked with version 1.1 of the library, you will notice that we haven't changed the essence of the library but we have made it easier to use and integrate with (for example, introducing the new * OrkutAdapter* class). You can download the library from here<http://code.google.com/p/orkut-os-client>. Version 2.0 introduces a new download format: a binary-only distribution with a single JAR file that you can just drop into your project's class path, without any external dependencies (you can find it on the downloads list on the right side of the page). If you've never used the library before, this might be a good time to take a look at it! It essentially allows you to make requests to the orkut servers on behalf of a user. That user must authenticate with orkut and authorize your application to access his data, of course, and this is done via OAuth. After authentication, you can issue requests to the orkut servers on behalf of the user. Here are some of the things you can do: - Read person profiles - Read scraps - Write scraps - Reply to scraps - Read the activity stream - Post to the activity stream - Change the user's status text - Issue friendship requests - Accept/reject friendship requests - Create, delete, update and list albums - Create, delete, update and list photos in albums (yes, you can upload new photos directly!) - List and fetch videos - Get upcoming birthday notifications for friends As a quick example, here's a snippet of code that lists the user's friends (after authentication): GetFriendTx friends = orkad.getFriendTF().getSelfFriends(); friends.setCount(20); // get up to 20 friends BatchTransaction btx = orkad.newBatch(); btx.add(friends); orkad.submitBatch(btx); if (friends.hasError()) { // handle error } int i; say("You have " + String.valueOf(friends.getFriendsCount()) + " friend(s):"); for (i = 0; i < friends.getFriendsCount(); i++) { OrkutPerson f = friends.getFriend(i); System.out.println(f.getDisplayName()); } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "orkut Developer Forum" group.
