Demo Application

You can find a simple demo application in the app/ folder which you can also download here. This is not the final sample application yet, but it should be enough to show you how to integrate and use this Library.

Getting Started

Include the library into your project by adding the following line to your build.gradle: compile 'com.pddstudio:earthview-android:1.0.0'

Usage

• Implement either SingleEarthViewCallback (for a single EarthView) or EarthViewCallback (for multiple EarthViews) into your Activity, Adapter or any other class where you want to load the EarthView's.
• Get an instance of the EarthView by calling:

EarthView.withGoogle()

• Fire the event which fit's your needs, you'll get the results through the callback interface you provide in your project.

Fetching a single EarthView

A quick sample to fetch a single EarthView

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements SingleEarthViewCallback {

    Button loadBtn;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        loadBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.load_wall_btn);
        loadBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
            //in case you want to get a random wallpaper
            EarthView.withGoogle().getRandomEarthWallpaper(MainActivity.this);
            //in case you want to get a specific EarthWallpaper
            EarthView.withGoogle().getEarthWallpaper(earthWallpaperIdentifier, this);
            }
        });
    }
    @Override
    public void onStartedLoading() {
        //in case you want to show a loading dialog or anything else
    }

    @Override
    public void onFinishedLoading(EarthWallpaper earthWallpaper) {
        //check whether the result is null or not
        if(earthWallpaper != null) {
            //do whatever you want to do with the EarthWallpaper object
        }
    }


}

Fetching multiple EarthViews

A quick sample to load multiple EarthViews:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements EarthViewCallback {

    Button loadBtn;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        loadBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.load_wall_btn);
        loadBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                EarthView.withGoogle().getAllEarthWallpapers(MainActivity.this);
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public void onStartedLoading() {
        //in case you want to show a loading dialog or something else you can do this here
    }

    @Override
    public void onItemLoaded(EarthWallpaper earthWallpaper) {
        //just to be sure the result isn't null
        if(earthWallpaper != null) {
        //here you can handle what you want to do with the new item - this event get's fired every time the library has loaded a new EarthView object
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onFinishedLoading(Collection<EarthWallpaper> earthWallpapers) {
        //here you can stop showing the loading dialog
        //in case you don't want to handle each item seperately the complete Collection of EarthWallpapers is provided here, too 
    }
}

The EarthWallpaper reference sheet

Once you received an EarthWallpaper object through the callback you can get the following information out of it: - The EarthView's ID (identifier - similar to the original one) - The EarthView's Slug - The EarthView's Url (Link to the official Site for this EarthView) - The EarthView's Title (Official Title for this EarthView) - The EarthView's Latitude - The EarthView's Longitude - The EarthView's Photo Url (In case you want to load it into an ImageView or save it to your storage) - The EarthView's Thumbnail Url (Recommended when fetching a lot of EarthViews - to reduce bandwith) - The EarthView's Download Url (The official Url to download this EarthView) - The EarthView's Region (Region where this EarthView was taken) - The EarthView's Country (The Country this EarthView was taken) - The EarthView's Attribution (Copyright information) - The EarthView's GoogleMaps Url (To show the direct position of this EarthView) - The EarthView's GoogleMaps Title (Can be used for wrapping around the GoogleMaps Url e.g)

All information can be fetched via their get-Methods. You can find more information in the EarthView JavaDoc.
