Re: Android integration

[Chuck Garofalo]

Hi.  I looked in the logs for this error message but strangely I did not see it.  Could you give it another try and reply with the date/time (and timezone) and I can take another look?

Thanks,

Chuck

I've trying to connect to your API via our Android app. OAuth and REST works. However, I'm having issues with posting a new image block into a workbook.

My request is:

POST http://springpad.com/api/users/me/blocks/2d35d337-22cc-429c-b910-86f34be00a83/photos?filename=testme.jpg&description=bla&encoding=base64

Content-Type: image/jpeg
Content-Length: 12345 (complete size of string, including pre-fix "data:image/jpeg;base64,")

data:image/jpeg;base64,<BASE64DATA>

The error I'm getting is:

Error attaching a photo. This doesn't necessarily mean that there's a problem. The phone will resend it.

I've tried to change the value of Content-Type into "image/jpeg", and produced the same error.

My oAuth customer key is: fd341b6afa414ae19ebe8bab2822ae01

Any sample code is appreciated. I use the oAuth Scribe Library for Java. Below you'll find my test code.

OAuthService service = new ServiceBuilder()

.provider(SpringpadApi.class)

.apiKey("fd341b6afa414ae19ebe8bab2822ae01")

.apiSecret("XXXXX")

//.debug()

.debugStream(System.out)

.build();

Token accessToken = new Token("ed368e29841e33706479ebb6cd221823",

"XXX");

try {

File file = new File("/Users/taoufik/Desktop/logo.jpg");

byte [] fileData = new byte[(int)file.length()];

DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream((new FileInputStream(file)));

dis.readFully(fileData);

dis.close();

OAuthRequest request = new OAuthRequest(

Verb.POST,

"http://springpad.com/api/users/me/blocks/2d35d337-22cc-429c-b910-86f34be00a83/photos?filename=testme.jpg&description=bla&encoding=base64");

request.addHeader("Content-Type", "image/jpeg");

String data = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + new Base64().encodeToString(fileData);

request.addPayload(data);

service.signRequest(accessToken, request);

Response response = request.send(); 

String content = response.getBody();

System.out.println(content);

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

Hi Taoufik.  I strangely don't see in the logs what I'm expecting.  There is a bit of noise there so the username that you are using would help.  Can you provide that to me?

Thanks,

Chuck

hi Chuck,

Thanks for the reply.

I've just tried again now: Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:14 UTC+0 (London, UK). 

I've also enabled wireshark, this is the data over the wire. I've replaced all the privacy sensitive info with XXXXXXX (7 times X):

There was some weirdness in using this API that I remember debugging for someone else on the list sometime ago. 

There's an example of its use here: https://github.com/springpad/springpad/blob/master/python/spring/__init__.py

One thing to try is using a png instead. Change the file to a png, use that on the filename query param, and also in the beginning section of your post data. Let me know if that doesn't work. If that does, then we'll try something with the jpg. 

Cheers,

Pete

Hi Taufik,

Ok, one of the issues is that the item you are uploading a photo to must first exist.  So you can use the command api to create a photo spring.  Then you can attach a photo to this spring using the photo api using the uuid of the photo spring, not the notebook you are putting the spring in.

Please give this a try and let us know if you have any questions.
