Android - How to realize REST GET function for REST API in skydrive

votes

Does anyone know how to use Skydrive REST API in Android?

(documented here http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/live/hh243648.aspx)

All Data that are needed for access are already stored!

  private String AccessToken;
  private String AuthenticationToken;
  private String RefreshToken;
  private String ExpiresIn;
  private String Scope;

Is it right to use

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

Does anyone have a full example?

Any ideas or suggestion would be helpful. Thank you.

You can do something like this.

InputStream result = null;

HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet get = new HttpGet("https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me/albums?access_token=" + AccessToken); // For example
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(get);

if (response != null && response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
    BufferedHttpEntity bufferedHttpEntity = new BufferedHttpEntity(response.getEntity());
    result = bufferedHttpEntity.getContent();
} else {
    // insert error handling
}

Depending on what request you are making you may need to use HttpPut, HttpPost, HttpDelete, etc. instead of HttpGet.

  • GET - Returns the representation of a resource.
  • POST - Adds a new resource to a collection.
  • PUT - Updated to the location that was specified as the target URL, or add a resource there, add a resource if one does not exist.
  • DELETE - Deletes a resource.

If the request requires a body, you can add it with setEntity() which takes an HttpEntity object.
