Programming access to Android Market

如果你在Android Market上发布了程序，怎么通过程序访问，查看程序的信息呢？谷歌大神为我们提供了--An open-source API for the Android Market，另外，也给Ruby和PHP都留了接口，当然了访问是需要Google帐户滴，更多信息请看考：http://code.google.com/p/android-market-api/

OK,废话少说，That's it！

Current progress¶

• You can browse market with any carrier or locale you want.
• Search for apps using keywords or package name.
• Retrieve an app info using an app ID.
• Retrieve comments using an app ID.
• Get PNG screenshots and icon

Requirement：

• A google account is required.
• Include androidmarketapi-X.Y.jar and protobuf-java-X.Y.Z.jar in your classpath ，下载地址：http://code.google.com/p/android-market-api/downloads/list

需要把这两个JAR导入项目中，由于很好理解，代码就不加注释了 :-）

HowToSearchApps  ：

You can search by package using :

  
  


   
   
String query = "pname:<package>"; 
  
  

By developper name :

  
  


   
   
String query = "pub:<name>"; 
  
  

  
  


   
   
String query = "pname:com.luckyxmobile.timers4me";// 通过包名查找程序

   
   
MarketSession session = new MarketSession();  

   
   
session.login("your gmail account", "your password");  

   
   
AppsRequest appsRequest = AppsRequest.newBuilder().setQuery(query).setStartIndex(0).setEntriesCount(10).setWithExtendedInfo(true).build();  

   
   
session.append(appsRequest, new MarketSession.Callback<AppsResponse>() {  

   
   
@Override 

   
   
public void onResult(ResponseContext context, AppsResponse response) {  

   
   
TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);  

   
   
String id = response.getApp(0).getId();  

   
   
String creatorID = response.getApp(0).getCreatorId();  

   
   
String creator = response.getApp(0).getCreator();  

   
   
String packageName = response.getApp(0).getPackageName();  

   
   
String price = response.getApp(0).getPrice();  

   
   
String rating = response.getApp(0).getRating();  

   
   
int ratingCount = response.getApp(0).getRatingsCount();  

   
   
String title = response.getApp(0).getTitle();  

   
   
String version = response.getApp(0).getVersion();  

   
   
int versionCode = response.getApp(0).getVersionCode();  

   
   
int serializedSize = response.getApp(0).getSerializedSize();  

   
   
ExtendedInfo extendedInfo = response.getApp(0).getExtendedInfo();  

   
   
text.setText("id:" + id + "\nCreatorId:" + creatorID  

   
   
+ "\nCreator:" + creator + "\nPackageName:"+ packageName + "\nPrice:" + price + "\nrating:"+ rating + "\nRatingCount:" + ratingCount + "\ntitle:" 

   
   
+ title + "\nVersion:" + version + "\nversionCode:" 

   
   
+ versionCode + "\nDownloadsCount:" 

   
   
+ extendedInfo.getDownloadsCount()  

   
   
+ "\nDownloadsCountText:"+extendedInfo.getDownloadsCountText()+ "\nInstallSize:" + extendedInfo.getInstallSize()  

   
   
+ "\nSerializedSize:" + serializedSize+ "\nDecription:" + extendedInfo.getDescription()+ "\nContactEmail:" + extendedInfo.getContactEmail()+ "\nContactPhone:" + extendedInfo.getContactPhone()+ "\nContactWebsite:" 

   
   
+ extendedInfo.getContactWebsite());  

   
   
            }  

   
   
        });  

   
   
session.flush();//发送并刷新 
  
  

 这是Timers4Me的运行结果：

HowToGetAppComments:

  
  


   
   
CommentsRequest commentsRequest = CommentsRequest.newBuilder().setAppId("7065399193137006744").setStartIndex(0).setEntriesCount(10).build();session.append(commentsRequest, new Callback<CommentsResponse>() {    

   
   
@Override public void onResult(ResponseContext context, CommentsResponse response) {        

   
   
System.out.println("Response : " + response);  

   
   
// response.getComments(0).getAuthorName()      

   
   
// response.getComments(0).getCreationTime()    

   
   
// ...   

   
   
    } });    

   
   
session.flush();   
  
  

HowToGetAppScreenshot   ：

  
  


   
   
GetImageRequest imgReq = GetImageRequest.newBuilder().setAppId("-7934792861962808905").setImageUsage(AppImageUsage.SCREENSHOT).setImageId("1").build();       

   
   
session.append(imgReq, new Callback<GetImageResponse>() {   

   
   
@Override public void onResult(ResponseContext context, GetImageResponse response) {      

   
   
try {                        

   
   
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("icon.png");      

   
   
fos.write(response.getImageData().toByteArray());      

   
   
fos.close();                           

   
   
} catch(Exception ex) {      

   
   
ex.printStackTrace();     

   
   
}}});   

   
   
session.flush();
