Android Question how to use google REST APIs?

zolive33 · Jan 30, 2020

Hi,

I would like to add the externals libraries "Google Api Client library" and "Android extension" to my project. But I can't find them with the SDK Manager?

I try to declare :

B4X:

#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth
#AdditionalJar: com.google.api-client:google-api-client
#AdditionalJar: com.google.api-client:google-api-client-android

but the compiler returns an error :
Maven artifact not found. com.google.api-client/google-api-client

Could you help me? Thanks a lot

I tried to add the jar file, like this:

B4X:

#AdditionalJar: C:\users\olivier\Mes documents\01-projets\02-Android\ZeBudget.dev\Android\libs\google-api-client-android-1.30.4.jar

But, at runtime, I get this error :
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/api/client/googleapis/extensions/android/gms/auth/GoogleAccountCredential;

Google Api Client library"

you´ll NOT get it working.

Which Api do you want to implement exactly?

Use B4A Code to use any of the Google REST Apis.
Example:

[B4X] Google Geocoding REST API

This code is compatible with B4A, B4i and B4J. 1. Get an API key: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/get-api-key 2. Sub PlaceToLatLon(Place As String) As ResumableSub Dim res() As Double = Array As Double(9999, 9999) Dim j As HttpJob j.Initialize("", Me)...

www.b4x.com

You´ll also need to use OAuth2

[class][B4X] Google OAuth2

GoogleOAuth2 class is compatible with B4A, B4i and B4J (new). It is no longer possible to use WebView to implement Google's OAuth2 authentication. The solution is to open the default browser and set the redirection uri in such a way that the browser will redirect the response back to our app...

"Android extension

what kind of lib should this be? Sounds like a plugin for Android Studio? If so then it will not help. B4X does not use any AS plugins.

Hi DonManfred,

Thank you for your answers. I will Use B4A Code solutions.
I was hoping to use a library created with Android Studio to access Google Drive.

the Android Extension is the library "google-api-client-android".
