How to show Picasa album gallery in Android - android

I would like to show Picasa images in my Android app.
I've read about some incompabilities with PicasaWebService so i need a way to login and get images list to show.
Has anyone found some good library/example?

If anyones looking for an answer.
Android sample using Picasa web album API. Sample uses OAuth for login, creates and updates albums as well as uploading of photos to Picasa web album:

Google+ share image using URL like Facebook

I'm currently looking for a way to share in Google+ using URL from web and not from local storage. Problem is that I've used UniversalImageLoader to cache my image and I don't have the image file of the images I wanted to post on my share. I wanted it to be as simple the way facebook done their sharing but using the setContentUrl(Uri.parse(IMG_URL)) will give me the way I wanted it minus the image URL below the post.
Other workarounds I'm thinking is to download the image using the URL, store it somewhere on the device then share it using the setStream(Uri.parse(IMG_URI)) but only problem is that I will need to wait more compared to sharing using URL.
Now is there's any way I can achieve a faster image sharing on Google+? Or if ever is there's a way I can convert the cached file back into image so that I can share it using Stream?

Adding an Album to the Android Photo Gallery (in code)

I would like to be able to create an Android app that adds additional photo albums to the default android photo gallery. The content of these albums would be remote, similar to how the Picasa albums are handled. I have looked into the media scanner and it seems to not handle remote content and I have not been able to find any reference for the gallery itself or any other means of providing additional photo albums.
I have done some searching on the android developers site, here and general Googling and have come up short... does anyone have any suggestions about how this can be accomplished?
Thanks in advance.
If you are talking about the android stock gallery, this is what ive found out:
The android albums are not actually albums, but folders.
You justo need to create a folder with the name you want the album to show and there must be at least one picture in it.
Hope it helps!

adding an option to the android gallery like facebook or flickr

I would like to add an option to the photo gallery like the facebook and flickr (tabs)
How is that done?
I can create an intent-filter that handles images but I want the photo's to appear in the gallery like the imaged of picasa, facebook and flickr.
Any ideas anyone?
You must use the Facebook API, and get the image URLs through the Graph API. Then you can load these images into an Android GridView to get the effect you want.

Use the Android gallery to display Media RSS

I know that the native Gallery application of Android can display pictures stored from a Picasa Web account. I have searched the SDK but could not figure out if there is a way to make media rss available in the native gallery applications (and ideally would work with any gallery application).
I thought of creating a ContentProvider, to make these available but the gallery seems to only display what is added through the MediaStore.
If you have any idea, let me know.
Thank you very much.
Unfortunately it is not possible to add Media RSS in the native gallery without modifying its source code. No API allows that.

access photos from Picasa in Android using Google APIs

I am trying to fetch photos from a Picasa album in Android.
I have used following link as a reference:
http://gdata-java-client.googlecode.com/svn/tags/2.2.1-alpha/sample/picasa/picasa-atom-android-sample/instructions.html
But in the above example I think the user can only access albums, whereas I want to access photos also, which might need PhotoEntry Class, so can anyone suggest to me what files I need for Android previously to get photos from Picasa?
I've come across this source code for a widget that uses picasa api. It uses the older gdata api libraries. I have been unable to get the new libraries to work for downloading.
