Revision History

• 1.0 Initial release.

Dependencies

• app55-java v0.8.4 or greater. Included in this example.

Running

Running this example requires an Android 4.0 or greater compatible emulator or device.

1. Create an App55 account to get your API Key and Secret.
2. Checkout this project.
3. This is an Eclipse project, so you can just import it into Eclipse as an existing project.
4. Modify Configuration.java with your API_KEY_DEFAULT and API_KEY_SECRET.
5. Compile and deploy the application, and click run to execute the test script.

Notes

• The example requires Android 4.0 or greater. This is due to bugs in java.net.URLConnection on Android versions prior to Honeycomb.
• You can use your preferred network stack such as HttpClient or OkHttp by creating an implementation of HttpAdapter (part of the app55-java project) and passing it as a parameter when you create your Gateway instance.
• The DefaultHttpAdapter uses an ExecutorThreadPool to implement asynchonous requests due to compatibility with multiple platforms. But by implementing your own HttpAdapter or subclassing DefaultHttpAdapter you can choose your own way of doing background requests that suit your app architecture.
