I am trying to access music information such as playlists, songs, artists, etc. from Spotify's API but do not know how to go about it. I was reading into Spotify's Android SDK but it requires the Spotify app to be downloaded on the device.
Would it be possible to access Spotify's Web API from my Android App? If so, what would I need to import/add to my project and what language will I need to know.
I'm just looking for some direction so any information would be appreciated.
Thanks
If you want to use the Spotify Web API specifically, you can authorize your custom app following this guide.
Not knowing about your Android knowledge, I suggest being familiar with the basic principles that can be learned here before starting the development of your app.

I am building a hybrid mobile application that has a requirement for offline Docusign functionality. Unfortunately, the only Docusign SDK that supports offline document signing is the native iOS SDK. I dont have the ability to build the offline sync myself leveraging the nodejs SDK either.
Does anyone have experience deep linking into the iOS and Android Docusign mobile app? I am struggling to find any information on deep linking into the docusign app from a 3rd party app.
I would like to deep link into the native docusign app in order to use a multi app solution to support the offline signature capture.
Not at this time, maybe a future feature, but there's no plan right now to support deeplinking for third party developers.
Looks like Android SDK is available now with offline signing support https://github.com/docusign/mobile-android-sdk
I am developing cordova based hybrid mobile apps targeted for android and iOS smartphones.
Usecase: The application authenticate user and then would be accessing Google Calendar API's, and finally display user events on the app.
Note: I will be Using 3-legged OAuth and Google Data APIs without the client libraries.
Question
The Cordova-enabled WebView provides the application with its entire user interface, so what should be the application type in this case?
Since everything is going inside webview, so Shall I choose "Web Application"?
OR
Do I need to create seperate Applications type for Android and iOS
seperately?
Or can iOS Application Type work for both Android and iOS?
Please suggest what should be the proper approach to choose application type in this case.
Thanks!
It depends on how your app is setup. If you plan on handling all of the OAUTH processing on a backend server then you can use the Web application type, and you can have all the OAUTH work offloaded to the backend server.
If you do not have a backend server and will do all OAUTH processing on the user's device, then you should create both an iOS and Android client ID. For example:
https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-googleplus
This plugin's documentation shows the creation of both an iOS and Android client ID to enable Google Sign In on a Cordova app.
I'm developing a cross-platform application with Xamarin which includes 3rd party SSO like Facebook and Google+. This involves storing client ids, API secrets and other sensitive information to be able to connect to the mentioned SSO providers.
I solved this several times with Gradle when I was developing Android, but I thought I'd give Xamarin a shot, but I didn't find any solution or best practice for this kind of sensitive data storing. And the official Xamarin forum is also very quite about it :'(
What are the steps involved to integrate the flickr api to my android app ,so that I can view my photos in a gallery.
Use scribejava for auth/requests.
More about authentication read here.
Then get tokens, try calls api methods.
Also you can test methods direct from web by API Explorer (https://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/{method}.
I'm very new to Mono Droid and Mono TOuch, but I would like to know if there is any library that allows me to authenticate users of my application using their Facebook and Google accounts?
I've seen some examples for the Facebook SDK on "Mono for Android" and "Mono Touch" , but since I don't need the full facebook SDK and I only need a small set of info from the user I was wondering if there is a simple library that will allow me to authenticate to any site using OAuth (I'm only interested on Google and Facebook for now).
Did you try community-based implementations from OAuth site?
About Facebook API binding: I tried Facebook API binding for MonoTouch with no success. After that I started using official JSON-based Facebook Graph API. It's relatively easy to implement calling of any API method. For more information about using Facebook API in MonoTouch/MonoDroid apps please see that answer.
