I'm rather new to Android Dev and I'm stuck at the very last part of my app. I've made a barcode scanning app (thanks Zxing) and would like to search the result on a website.
So for example if I wanted to search my result on www.trademe.co.nz how would I go about doing this?
So far I've gotten the String and opened the browser I just don't know how to import the text into the right textbox and search it.
The web part of my code.
private void openBrowser(String contents, String format) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://www.trademe.co.nz"));
startActivity(i);
}
Sorry if I've done something wrong, this is my first post!
Thanks is advanced for any help :)
Try this (and mark this as an answer if my answer solve your problem)
private void openBrowser(String contents, String format) {
String url = "http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/SearchResults.aspx?searchType=all&searchString=%s&rptpath=all&type=Search&generalSearch_keypresses=5&generalSearch_suggested=0";
try
{
your_keyword = URLEncoder.encode(your_keyword, "UTF-8")); //encode keyword
}
catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
url = String.format(url, your_keyword);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);
}
Use httpPost method to post your string to the url.

I'm developing a Xamarin Android app and I need the ability to be able to work with Passes (PassKit passes for example (JSON)). I need to be able to list all the passes in a ListVew and be able to open and display the pass. Also be able to save them to a wallet such as PassWallet or Pass2u. I don't need the ability to create them, just view them, and save them to a wallet or discard them.
There seems to be an example Xamarin iOS app which does exactly what i need here but of course I need to be able to do this in Xamarin Android.
I've been researching this for hours but don't know how to achieve what i need. JSON.net seems the way to go to read the passes, but that's as far as I've managed to get. Some examples would be great. Can anybody help?
To add the pass into PassWallet you can use the following:
private static boolean launchPassWallet(Context applicationContext, Uri uri, boolean launchGooglePlay) {
if (null != applicationContext) {
PackageManager packageManager = applicationContext.getPackageManager();
if (null != packageManager) {
final String strPackageName = "com.attidomobile.passwallet";
Intent startIntent = new Intent();
startIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Intent passWalletLaunchIntent = packageManager
.getLaunchIntentForPackage(strPackageName);
if (null == passWalletLaunchIntent) {
// PassWallet isn't installed, open Google Play:
if (launchGooglePlay) {
String strReferrer = "";
try {
strReferrer = "&referrer=" + URLEncoder.encode(uri.toString(), "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
strReferrer = "";
}
try {
startIntent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + strPackageName + strReferrer));
applicationContext.startActivity(startIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
// Google Play not installed, open via website
startIntent.setData(Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + strPackageName + strReferrer));
applicationContext.startActivity(startIntent);
}
}
} else {
final String strClassName = "com.attidomobile.passwallet.activity.TicketDetailActivity";
startIntent.setClassName(strPackageName, strClassName);
startIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
startIntent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/vnd.apple.pkpass");
applicationContext.startActivity(startIntent);
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
And an example call is:
launchPassWallet(getApplicationContext(),Uri.parse("http://test.attidomobile.com/PassWallet/Passes/AttidoMobile.pkpass"), true);
You can also use a file:// URL if you have the file locally.
To display them in the list, you'd need to unzip the .pkpass file and then parse the JSON for the relevant fields.
I'm trying to post my data through android app on my twitter account so how should i do it.
i have tried a way, below is the code, and in that it is showing the data on my account and i need to click on the tweet button to get it tweeted. So can i know how to post it directly without asking me to tweet. Like Four Square app
public void open(View view){
String text = "Share Your Experiance ....!!!";
String url = "twitter://post?message=";
try {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url + Uri.encode(text)));
startActivity(i);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Can't send tweet! Please install twitter...", 2).show();
}
Thanks in Advance !!!
Firstly you have to check are you logged with twitter or not after as your condition you can apply this snippet code.
I think you follow the all basics for twitter integration in your code.
public void uploadPic(String message, String getImgUrl)
throws Exception {
try {
System.out.println(" ON UPLOAD PIC FUNCTION getImgUrl "+getImgUrl);
// URL url = new URL("http://faveplatewebservice.siplstudio.com/uploads/big_dish/oooo14n7464rO4_thumb.png");
URL url = new URL(getImgUrl);
URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
StatusUpdate status = new StatusUpdate("Check Out FavPlates on appstore, which offers you to add and find exciting dishes near you. "+message);
//status.setMedia(file);
status.setMedia("Check Out FavPlates on appstore, which offers you to add and find exciting dishes near you. "+message, in);
mTwitter.updateStatus(status);
} catch (TwitterException e) {
Log.d("TAG", "Pic Upload error" + e.getExceptionCode());
throw e;
}
}
hope it will help you!!
If you stuck anywhere then inform me.
Thankss!!
I'm working on a backend platform for a client in which he can add users and their twitter username. The frontend is an android/ios application in which the app's users can open a twitter app intent.
For android it seems to be that the code is the following:
int userId;
try {
getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.twitter.android", 0);
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("twitter://user?user_id="+userId));
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
} catch (Exception e) {
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://twitter.com/"+userId));
}
this.startActivity(intent);
So It seems that I NEED to use the user id instead of the username.
So I was wondering if there is any way to make a POST/GET request to twitter in order to get a username's user_id, if possible enconded in JSON format.
Found the solution
Uri.parse("twitter://user?screen_name="+username)
Can anybody suggest a good method for creating a facebook share implementation for my application.
I have created the test account and API key for the facebook developer site...
I need to implement in such a way that,when the fbshare button is clicked,a particular content(dynamic content) should be posted as a status link in the corresponding linked facebook account...
Apart from the fb developers,i need some other way of implementing it...
Suggestions expected...(possibly better results expected)
Hi use this method in your code in facebook handler class
public void postToFBWall(final String message, final String image){
Thread thread = new Thread(){
public void run(){
try{
String descripton = "This is the plain text copy next to the image. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.";
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("message", message);// message to be posted on facebook wall
parameters.putString("link", image);//link of image to be posted on facebook wall
parameters.putString("name", "My wish");// name of link
parameters.putString("description", descripton);// description of you post
String response1 = facebook.request("me/feed", parameters, "POST");
Log.v("facebook response", response1);
}catch (Exception e) {
}
}
};thread.start();
}
Try this one

I am trying to integrate yahoo in my app. I am trying,
private static final String YAHOO_CALLBACK_URI = "MyApp://oauth";
public static final String YAHOO_REQUEST_TOKEN_URL = "http://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/request_token";//api.login.yahoo.com
public static final String YAHOO_ACCESS_TOKEN_URL = "http://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/access_token";
public static final String YAHOO_AUTHORIZE_URL = "http://api.login.yahoo.com/authorize";
CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer consumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(YAHOO_CONSUMER_KEY, YAHOO_CONSUMER_SERECT_KEY);
OAuthProvider provider = new CommonsHttpOAuthProvider(YAHOO_REQUEST_TOKEN_URL, YAHOO_ACCESS_TOKEN_URL, YAHOO_AUTHORIZE_URL);
provider.setOAuth10a(true);
try {
String authUrl = provider.retrieveRequestToken(consumer, YAHOO_CALLBACK_URI);// Can I pass Null for callback url.
System.out.println("AuthURL = " + authUrl);
} catch (OAuthMessageSignerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (OAuthNotAuthorizedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (OAuthExpectationFailedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (OAuthCommunicationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
getting
oauth.signpost.exception.OAuthCommunicationException: Communication with the service provider failed: Service provider responded in error: 404 (Not Found)
Why we are unable to retrieve request token.
Make sure your app on Yahoo is registered as Web-Based. When you register as a Web-Based application, give a valid Application URL and App Domain of your choice (both should be the same domain), but has not been used by anyone else. I, for example, have the url of a website I own. This will also be used as the callback url in your consumer.
Instead of calling "MyApp://oauth", give a valid http callback url (the same one you used to register the app). With that much, your code above should work.
Open a new Webview and call the authUrl. Once your app is authorised, intercept the call to your application url by overriding the "onPageStarted" method. There, make a callback to your app by launching a new intent pointing to "MyApp://oauth".
Please let me know if any of the obove steps confuse you - I am more than happy to help.
I had followed the above mentioned 3#poits and able to do the call back to the application. The whole problem started with YAHOO OAUTH Process. Now Yahoo doesnt take the Custom Call back urls, It has to be a valid http url. n
There are couple of issues i have it which i am solving on my own,like Having a CUSTOMi Dialog box which can be used to call the Web-view YAHOO Auth URL similar to FB Dialog.
Thanks for the
