I think title is self descriptive. In my application I have a log-in form. Based on request, users should be able to set their image of profile via Facebook.
So, my question is, is it possible to show gallery images of users inside application and let users to select an image from it?
I have checked Facebook SDK and goggled as well but those information that I found was base on uploading image to Facebook by Graph.
Any suggestion/comments would be appreciated.
Have you checked this answer here:
ImageView user_picture;
userpicture=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.userpicture);
URL img_value = null;
img_value = new URL("http://graph.facebook.com/"+id+"/picture?type=large");
Bitmap mIcon1 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(img_value.openConnection().getInputStream());
userpicture.setImageBitmap(mIcon1);
You may see this too.
I think this shall work to load albums, but the only difference is that you need an access token. This means you can fetch the album of the user only if this user is logged into Facebook. The following code has an AsyncTask called getAlbumsData. Within that look into the doInBackground.It fetches JSON and on onPostExecute,you would see it is loading the album into a listview which was already defined earlier.
Here is the (simple) sample code
private class getAlbumsData extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
LinearLayout linlaHeaderProgress = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linlaHeaderProgress);
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
// SHOW THE PROGRESS BAR (SPINNER) WHILE LOADING ALBUMS
linlaHeaderProgress.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
// CHANGE THE LOADING MORE STATUS TO PREVENT DUPLICATE CALLS FOR
// MORE DATA WHILE LOADING A BATCH
loadingMore = true;
// SET THE INITIAL URL TO GET THE FIRST LOT OF ALBUMS
URL = "https://graph.facebook.com/" + initialUserID
+ "/albums&access_token="
+ Utility.mFacebook.getAccessToken() + "?limit=10";
try {
HttpClient hc = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet get = new HttpGet(URL);
HttpResponse rp = hc.execute(get);
if (rp.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
String queryAlbums = EntityUtils.toString(rp.getEntity());
JSONObject JOTemp = new JSONObject(queryAlbums);
JSONArray JAAlbums = JOTemp.getJSONArray("data");
if (JAAlbums.length() == 0) {
stopLoadingData = true;
Runnable run = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"No more Albums", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
};
Albums.this.runOnUiThread(run);
} else {
// PAGING JSONOBJECT
if (JOTemp.has("paging")) {
JSONObject JOPaging = JOTemp.getJSONObject("paging");
if (JOPaging.has("next")) {
String initialpagingURL = JOPaging
.getString("next");
String[] parts = initialpagingURL.split("limit=10");
String getLimit = parts[1];
pagingURL = "https://graph.facebook.com/"
+ initialUserID + "/albums&access_token="
+ Utility.mFacebook.getAccessToken()
+ "?limit=10" + getLimit;
} else {
stopLoadingData = true;
Runnable run = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"No more Albums",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
Albums.this.runOnUiThread(run);
}
} else {
stopLoadingData = true;
Runnable run = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"No more Albums",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
Albums.this.runOnUiThread(run);
}
getAlbums albums;
for (int i = 0; i < JAAlbums.length(); i++) {
JSONObject JOAlbums = JAAlbums.getJSONObject(i);
if (JOAlbums.has("link")) {
albums = new getAlbums();
// GET THE ALBUM ID
if (JOAlbums.has("id")) {
albums.setAlbumID(JOAlbums.getString("id"));
} else {
albums.setAlbumID(null);
}
// GET THE ALBUM NAME
if (JOAlbums.has("name")) {
albums.setAlbumName(JOAlbums
.getString("name"));
} else {
albums.setAlbumName(null);
}
// GET THE ALBUM COVER PHOTO
if (JOAlbums.has("cover_photo")) {
albums.setAlbumCover("https://graph.facebook.com/"
+ JOAlbums.getString("cover_photo")
+ "/picture?type=normal"
+ "&access_token="
+ Utility.mFacebook
.getAccessToken());
} else {
albums.setAlbumCover("https://graph.facebook.com/"
+ JOAlbums.getString("id")
+ "/picture?type=album"
+ "&access_token="
+ Utility.mFacebook
.getAccessToken());
}
// GET THE ALBUM'S PHOTO COUNT
if (JOAlbums.has("count")) {
albums.setAlbumPhotoCount(JOAlbums
.getString("count"));
} else {
albums.setAlbumPhotoCount("0");
}
arrAlbums.add(albums);
}
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
// SET THE ADAPTER TO THE LISTVIEW
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
// CHANGE THE LOADING MORE STATUS
loadingMore = false;
// HIDE THE PROGRESS BAR (SPINNER) AFTER LOADING ALBUMS
linlaHeaderProgress.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
For more help, look into the original answer. If still you need more then there's a full working source code with explanation. Though that's a bit more confusing than the answer I referred.
