How to connect to Flickr's Search Image API from Android app? - java

I'm trying to create an Android app using Android Studio, where a user can search for images by typing text into a search bar. the App is supposed to be connected to an image search API, and I chose Flickr. I have never worked with anything like this before, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to start?
Thanks!

You will have to start from Flick API and know the necessary endpoints. Then you also need a networking library like Volley. Finally I'll advice you use JSON for request and response formats.

How to show Google Translate popup from my app?

Is it possible to call Google Translate popup (only the popup, and not the whole Google Translate app) from my application, using intent or something else?
I'm using B4A (Basic for Android) platform, so if it is possible, please guide me based on B4A. However Java solutions can be useful too and they are also welcomed. Thanks.
You can use Google Translate api in php and call it from b4a

Upload an image and getting url

I've been working on my capstone project which I need to find a way to upload an Image to a webserver in my app (I'm also learning new concepts webservers,php etc..) and get an url of the image back which can be used globally.I mean it should be public(I'm going to use it for reverse google search). I was trying to achieve this by using ftp on free webervers but I failed.
I believe I understood easy android development concepts bu I'm still a rookie and of course there cant be "copy paste this and you're good to go" method but I could really use a suggestion or a tip If you don't mind.
Check out google firebase cloud storage
It'll do exactly what you're after, plus the tutorials are great

Use JavaScript Library in Android Application

I want to use the SJCL library in an Android app that I'm building. The thing is SJCL is a javascript crypto library. I'm new to Android development and I was wondering how I could go about using the library in my project.
What I'm looking to do is hash a person's username and password and decrypt whatever response I get from the server which is why I want to use SJCL. If anyone has any insight into how to do this, that'd be great!
I think that only way it can be done is WebView.
Maybe this will give you some lead.
Android WebView Javascript from assets
To achieve your goal, you can use this library for running JavaScript in Android apps.

Android Development : Getting data from the web

I am beginner in Android development and I am trying to make an app that will simply display the posts on the following website http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/lakelandsparkms/. I need to know how can I display the data from the web into my android app. An example would be appreciated.
The easiest way to display posts into an Android application will be to use JSON data on the web, and read it into a Master Detail Android application.
On the website side, getting the data to display in JSON seems to be the most difficult part of your problem. It would be easy if it was a Wordpress site, as there are plugins that will do this for you.
On the application side, getting the data and parsing it into a master detail flow is a fairly trivial task.
Something like this tutorial may help: http://www.technotalkative.com/android-json-parsing/ or this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TulTqQM0Cc
You can make a Json request and show data with android views. Or you can download the full or partial page and show it directly in a webview.
Use Jsoup if you're trying to scrape the webpage for data and display it in a UI.

Need Facebook API call to find friend using my app

I have made an app on Nokia S40 using Lwuit library. My app is also on Facebook and exists individually too. I need to get my Facebook friends who are using that app from Facebook.
I know how vague this question is, but I need a script JSON query to be able to get them.
Unfortunately, I have no knowledge about Facebook API.
I know my App ID and access token.
The Facebook API never worked properly in LWUIT because of several inherent bugs in the HTMLComponent and OAuth code. We fixed all of those in Codename One but backporting this isn't practical.
I suggest checking out Codename One and the facebook demo therein.
