Google Photos Library API Java Client Library Samples

This directory contains three samples to help you get started with the Java client library for the Google Photos Library API.

Get started

1. Follow the steps in the client library get started guide either by cloning this repository or downloading a compressed tarball.
2. Set up your Google Developers project, enable the Google Photos Library API and set up new OAuth credentials for an "other-type" application. Download the OAuth configuration as a JSON file. See Setting up your OAuth2 credentials.
3. Open the build.gradle file in this directory in your IDE or make a build from the commandline using ./gradlew assemble to build the samples.
4. Run one of the samples main classes from the package com.google.photos.library.sample.demos . You can also run one of the following gradle tasks, for example ./gradlew sample:runAlbum:
   • sample:runAlbum
   • sample:runFilter
   • sample:runShare

Note: You may need to clean your build project and build directories (./gradlew clean) before you run a different sample app. The user authentication credentials are cached for all samples together and execution will fail for samples that require different authentication scopes.
