Hi friends!

i have an site(on app engine) and android application.
the site is storing plugins that can be installed on the android 
application.

i have built a ranking system for the plugins on the site, but i want that 
only people who download the plugin to thier smartphone  can rank the 
plugin.
the problem is that i don't know how i can get the blob key from the site.

the site have a servlet that can retrieve a file like this:

"http://www.mysite.com/serve?blob-key=INSERTHERETHEBLOBKEY";

i have built a servlet on thesite  that is managing the ranking system like 
this:
"http://www.mysite.com/rank?blob-key=INSERTHERETHEBLOBKEY&rank=RANK";

the problem is : i dont know how to get the "INSERTHERETHEBLOBKEY"  of the 
plugin.

i have thought about some options how deal with it:

1. make new servlet that gets a md5 code that is calculated on my android 
app,than iterate all over the plugins and find the plugin , and the 
retrieve his blob-Key.
after that i can call my ranking servlet in order to update the rank.

2.if i knew how app engine is calculating his blob key, so i can calculate 
it in my android app , and then go directly to the rank servlet. ===>>>> 
the problem is that i don't know how to calculate the blob key.


if there is any other ideas i like to hear about that.
if you know how to calculate the blob key thats can really help me.

thanks in advice!
