B4A Library Google Plus module

This allows you to download posts from a Google Plus feed without requiring the user to log in. Useful for changelogs that update far too often to bother putting them on the Android Marketplace

Requires HttpUtils

Usage:
You must set GPlus.APIkey to your Google API key

To download the main posts feed:
HttpUtils.Download("plus", GPlus.PostsURL(PlusID, ""))
Where "plus" is the HttpUtils job name (you can change this), and PlusID is the ID of the feed

Sub JobDone (Job As String)
Select Case Job
      Case "plusreplies"
         If GPlus.ParseReplies("", GPlus.CwActivity ,  GPlus.CwReply, True) then GENERATEYOURHTML
      Case "plus"
         If HttpUtils.SuccessfulUrls.Size>0 Then
            GPlus.GetReplies(GPlus.CwActivity)
            GENERATEYOURHTML
         end if

in your GENERATEYOURHTML sub,

If GPlus.NeedsParsing Then
      tempstr=HttpUtils.GetString(  GPlus.PostsURL(PlusID,PageToken) )' HttpUtils.GetString( HttpUtils.SuccessfulUrls.GetKeyAt(0) )
      INI=GPlus.ParseActivityFeed(tempstr)
      GPlus.CwActivity = GPlus.EnumActivities(INI)
   End If

That code will parse the downloaded file to get the posts, then it's as simple as enumerating through GPlus.CwActivity

Thank you for sharing. I created a wiki user for you. You should receive an email with the password.

Please add this module to the libraries list: Libraries - Basic4android Wiki
You should write that it is a code module and not a library.

Oh wow, thank you.

I've uploaded a new version that makes changing between feeds easier. The example code here has also been altered.

EDIT: Forgot to add, when you switch feed ids, you need to call gplus.clear

The new version supports downloading twitter feeds.

The only changes are:
-You must set gplus.TwitterThumb to a url of an image to use in place of google pluses thumbnails
-User ID's starting with an @ symbol are treated as twitter IDs
