Hi,
My Gadget should check if the google user is logged in or not. If the user
is logged in, reference a link that retrieves Google Contact Addresses(read
access only).
1. Is there any Gadget API to know whether user is logged in ot not? I was
able to find OpenSocial API but it generates additional pop up window on
google load, which I want to avoid.
2. I tried to retrieve google contacts(should include all contact addresses
from contact lists, MyContacts, Other Contacts etc) from
google gadget(javascript client).
I modified the OAUTH sample gadget provided in the documentation:
http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/oauth.html#sample
Here is my code snippet that modified to retrieve the postalAddress:
for(var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
entry = list[i];
var divElement = document.createElement('div');
divElement.setAttribute('class', 'name');
var valueNode = document.createTextNode(entry.gd
$postalAddress[0].$t);
divElement.appendChild(nameNode);
divElement.appendChild(valueNode);
document.getElementById("main").appendChild(divElement); }
The above code snippet only returns address from Contact List but not for
MyContacts or Other Contacts. Please suggest how to retrieve
these information.
3. By using above approach, I am unable to retrieve the city, state, postal
code from the postalAddress object.
4. Hence, I have gone through Alternative Approach by using Javascript
library from this below documenation to retrieve formatted/parsed data:
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/gdata_gadgets.html#OAuthProxy
Here is my code snippet which is failing with "*result.feed is undefined*"
from firefox error console:
function getMyContacts() { var contactsFeedUri =
'https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?v=3.0&alt=json'; var
query = new google.gdata.contacts.ContactQuery(contactsFeedUri);
mycontacts.getContactFeed(query, handleContactsFeed, handleError); }
var handleContactsFeed = function(result) { var entries =
result.feed.entry; var contact = new contactEntry(entries[0]); var address
= {}; address['fname'] = contact.getFirstName(); address['lname'] =
contact.getLastName() + (contact.getAdditionalName() != '' ? ' ' +
contact.getAdditionalName() : ''); address['address'] =
contact.getStreet(); address['city'] = contact.getCity();
address['country'] = contact.getCountry(); address['zip'] =
contact.getPostcode(); address['phone'] = contact.getPhone();
address['mail'] = contact.getEmail(); address['organization'] =
contact.getOrganization(); address['birthday'] = contact.getBirthday();
address['event'] = contact.getEvent(); }
Please suggest which approach is secure to use without using OpenSocial
API's.
Thanks in advance!!!. Appreciate if anyone responds asap.
