Android app on sentence translation.

[Tejashree Deshpande]

Hello

I am developing an app in android which consumes the Microsoft's translator web service to translate the sentence. Following link gives the translator API provided by Microsoft translator.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff512419.aspx

But I am not getting how to consume this service in my application. following steps need to follow:-

- The hard coded sentence is retrieved from database

- Below the statement, 'Translate' button is provided which translates the above sentence in user selected language. At this point the web service needs to be consumed.

- List of languages are also stored in database, those are retrieved and user selects the language to translate. 

Problems-

1)how to send request and get response?

2)how to use JSON and REST protocols?

3)how to consume the client id and client secrete through web service?

4) how to get the list of languages available?

5) how to translate the sentence?

Anyone has idea of how to implement this? Need urgent response.

Hi Tejashree,

  Its difficult to explain each and everything here, 

but I will help you to realize the overview of the client application.

1. For sending request/ receiving a response, you will have to use an object of the class

HttpClient/DefaultHttpClient in android.

2. Create an object of HttpPost/ HttpGet(say A). Pass A a url to hit.

Pass A in execute() method of HttpClient object. If server is running fine, this should get 

you the response, additionally you can check HttpStatus Code of the response, it should be 200 (OK)

to proceed further.

3. These must be the parameters you have to pass on to the server while making the request.

4. There must be some API url to get the list of supported languages. Something like (SERVER_URL/languages or something.)

5. As you just said, Microsoft is running the translator service, it should give you the translated 

sentence as the response when you hit the URL as explained in step 2.

This is a very superficial overview. Hope it helps you.

Hello Jay,

                Thanks for the help. But do you have any sample code which will give the clear idea about its implementation. I searched it on google but the results were not satisfactory. 

Thanks and Regards,

Tejashree Deshpande.

If I get time, I will definitely create some sample code.

but I am sure, there must be some code available on Github.com
