[Google Wave APIs] Re: How to walk a blip hierarchy
Jeremy: I'm coming to the same conslusion--the API does not allow traversing the blip hierarchy. Just to be clear, though, when you suggest "storing every blip submitted" do you mean storing blip IDs or actually storing a copy of the blip data of every blip? What's I'd really like to be able to do is to located a specific blip within a wave and automatically update it. If a robot has a "reference" blip (that does not have the actual blip content), can the API update that blip (i.e., give it new content)? If so, I could have the robot store the blip reference and its content outside the wave.

[Google Wave APIs] How to walk a blip hierarchy
Is is possible for a robot to walk the blip hierarchy in response to a BLIP_SUBMITTED (or any other) event? I have tried a number of experiments, but am still unclear on some things: 1) calling getRootBlip() does not always yeild a Blip that can be accessed; is this true? 2) what is the relationship between "inline blips" and "child blips"? Does Blip.getChildren() return inline blips? 3) is it the case that a robot simply cannot, in general, traverse all the blips in a wavelet (perhaps, because the necessary metadata was not included with the event and there is no API for accessing metadata not provided with the event)?

[Google Wave APIs] Re: Creating some annotated text to append to a blip
Take a look at TextView.appendMarkup(). This method lets you append text containing marketup which is then converted to annotations for you.

[Google Wave APIs] Re: how to detect a new blip added to a wave?
Make sure your robot has registered receive the BLIP_SUBMITTED event.
You capaibilities.xml file must specify that you want that event.
When you modify capabilities.xml, be sure to update the version number
in that file or the change will not take effect.

[Google Wave APIs] Blip.delete() null pointer exception -- API bug?
I'm trying to get a robot to clean up a wave by deleting a number of blips based on various criteria. I'm using Blip.delete() and it sometimes works and sometimes throws a null pointer exception. (The exception occurs in BlipImpl trying to access a null blipData field.) Is there *any* reason that BlipImpl.blipData should *ever* be null? It seems like the answer is "no" and that this is an API bug. Thoughts? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Wave API" group.

[Google Wave APIs] Re: How to append text following an annotation?
Austin: thanks; that does work. The problem is, as far as I can tell,
if you start with a blip that is already annotated all the way to the
end (e.g., there is an annotation on the last character), there is no
way to append text without expanding that ending annotation.

Thanks, I'll try appending a single newline, removing all annotations from that character, and then appending the rest of the text.

[Google Wave APIs] External robot event triggers
I would like to create a robot that can *initiate* conversation activity rather than simply respond to activity of another participant. Is there some way to externally generate an event on a wave that a robot can then monitor that could signal the robot to initiate activity? For example, suppose I wanted a robot to update a wave when a meeting room became available? If I have code that detects when the meeting room becomes available, how could I signal the robot when this occurs? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Wave API" group.

[Google Wave APIs] How to append text following an annotation?
I'm having difficutlty appending text following an annotation. The issue is that the existing annotation that extends to the end of the TextView is automatically expanding to include the newly appended text. I've experimented with a number of methods for appending text, but they all seem to produce the same outcome. Is there a trick I'm overlooking?
