Spring Social Google - Roadmap and Community Feedback

[guznik]

Hi,

To those who are new to the project or did not keep track of it, Spring Social Google currently provides access to GData Contact API and Google+ API (people, activity and comment read-only operations). I started to work on Picasa Web Albums API, but it's so cumbersome and buggy, and I learned that Google plans to release Google+ photos API soon, so I decided to delete whatever work I did on Picasa. Does anyone have any objection to that?

I plan to give a push to the documentation and finalize the first milestone. Then I think I will work on more new APIs (non-GData), probably starting with the tasks API. If anyone has any requests, now is the time.

Any feedback is always appreciated.

Thanks for giving the heads up. I think Spring Social Google new enhancement is a great leap for our projects to be synch better.

Hi,

I added support for Google Tasks. You can see it in action as here: http://gdata.cloudfoundry.com/

I hope to finalize the first milestone soon.

I'm trying to find how to +1 something through oauth, but I can't seem to find it. Is it in there.

BTW, also got a compile error on ApiEnumDeserializer
@SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes" })
T value = Enum.valueOf((Class)type, sb.toString());

mschipperheyn,

Google+ API currently contains read-only operations, so no +1ing yet, just getting the +1ers count. You can see exactly what's available here: https://developers.google.com/+/api/ and to this time all operations are covered by Spring Social Google.

I will try to fix the compilation error soon, it's just that I've been extremely busy lately.

Hi,

I think the google integration is a huge plus and will slot in nicely with the current providers.

Do you have any plans to make a release even with just the basic authentication code at the moment? I know the google apis provide loads of options but think it would be good to stage the releases and prioritise what important and release accordingly.

Just a thought but good work so far. Using it in a wee sample app I've got going locally
