java :direct gmail url

I am completely new to this site. I was searching for an answer for my problem. But I saw the same problem asked by someone in this website. The question is here
I am using windows 7. I didn't not get answer there in that link..so I am asking the same question again. I want to open a gmail account link in a browser from a java application. Yes I do know about browse() method in Desktop class. The thing is that I can open the gmail website but I need to open directly the specified gmail account while username and password are provided. Any ideas?

Okay, so take this with a couple of caveats: 1. the last time I played with Google APIs was in an older version, so this may be quite different now, 2. this code isn't tested, I'm just writing it up partially from memory and partially from an old project of mine. Think of it more like pseudo-code, and 3. if this does by chance work, this is a pretty dirty solution. Hopefully this can set you on the track of finding a better way to do this with the API.
GoogleOAuthParameters oauthParameters = new GoogleOAuthParameters();
oauthParameters.setOAuthConsumerKey( [insert consumer key here] );
oauthParameters.setOAuthConsumerSecret( [insert consumer secret here] );
OAuthSigner signer = new OAuthHmacSha1Signer();
GoogleOAuthHelper oauthHelper = new GoogleOAuthHelper(signer);
oauthParameters.setScope("https://mail.google.com/mail"); //no clue if this is a valid scope or not
oauthHelper.getUnauthorizedRequestToken(oauthParameters);
String requestUrl = oauthHelper.createUserAuthorizationUrl(oauthParameters);
Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
URI url;
url = new URI(requestUrl);
//this will make the user log in to authorize your app
desktop.browse(url);
//auth token response from Google, you can use this to authenticate your app if there are other requests you want to make against the user account
String token = oauthHelper.getAccessToken(oauthParameters);
//since you made sure the user is logged into their account to authorize your app, their gmail can now just be opened. Yes, very dirty. I know. (if it all works)
desktop.browse("https://www.gmail.com/");

How to get Connections of Linkedin profile in android

I am trying to get the Connections or user's friends info from LinkedIn using LinkedIn jar for android and example given in google code, but i wont get Connections using linkedInApiClient.getConnectionsForCurrentUser() this method call it returns null, but i can access user current profile info using linkedInApiClient.getProfileForCurrentUser()
can any body suggest me how to get User connections information in linkedIn in android. Or guide me the the wright way.

I got the solution for the above ask question, what I was doing wrong, was that we have to pass an argument of the ProfileField information we want, like this:
final Set<ProfileField> connectionFields = EnumSet.of(ProfileField.ID, ProfileField.MAIN_ADDRESS,
ProfileField.PHONE_NUMBERS, ProfileField.LOCATION,
ProfileField.LOCATION_COUNTRY, ProfileField.LOCATION_NAME,
ProfileField.FIRST_NAME, ProfileField.LAST_NAME, ProfileField.HEADLINE,
ProfileField.INDUSTRY, ProfileField.CURRENT_STATUS,
ProfileField.CURRENT_STATUS_TIMESTAMP, ProfileField.API_STANDARD_PROFILE_REQUEST,
ProfileField.EDUCATIONS, ProfileField.PUBLIC_PROFILE_URL, ProfileField.POSITIONS,
ProfileField.LOCATION, ProfileField.PICTURE_URL);
Connections connections = client.getConnectionsForCurrentUser(connectionFields);

How to configure a Two-legged Spring-OAuth provider/client?

Im working on oauth 1 Sparklr and Tonr sample apps and I'm trying to create a two-legged call. Hipoteticly the only thing you're supposed to do is change the Consumer Details Service from (Im ommiting the igoogle consumer info to simplify):
<oauth:consumer-details-service id="consumerDetails">
<oauth:consumer name="Tonr.com" key="tonr-consumer-key" secret="SHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
resourceName="Your Photos" resourceDescription="Your photos that you have uploaded to sparklr.com."/>
</oauth:consumer-details-service>
to:
<oauth:consumer-details-service id="consumerDetails">
<oauth:consumer name="Tonr.com" key="tonr-consumer-key" secret="SHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
resourceName="Your Photos" resourceDescription="Your photos that you have uploaded to sparklr.com."
requiredToObtainAuthenticatedToken="false" authorities="ROLE_CONSUMER"/>
</oauth:consumer-details-service>
That's adding requiredToObtainAuthenticatedToken and authorities which will cause the consumer to be trusted and therefore all the validation process is skipped.
However I still get the login and confirmation screen from the Sparklr app. The current state of the official documentation is pretty precarious considering that the project is being absorbed by Spring so its filled up with broken links and ambiguous instructions. As far as I've understood, no changes are required on the client code so I'm basically running out of ideas. I have found people actually claiming that Spring-Oauth clients doesn't support 2-legged access (which I found hard to believe)
The only way I have found to do it was by creating my own ConsumerSupport:
private OAuthConsumerSupport createConsumerSupport() {
CoreOAuthConsumerSupport consumerSupport = new CoreOAuthConsumerSupport();
consumerSupport.setStreamHandlerFactory(new DefaultOAuthURLStreamHandlerFactory());
consumerSupport.setProtectedResourceDetailsService(new ProtectedResourceDetailsService() {
public ProtectedResourceDetails loadProtectedResourceDetailsById(
String id) throws IllegalArgumentException {
SignatureSecret secret = new SharedConsumerSecret(
CONSUMER_SECRET);
BaseProtectedResourceDetails result = new BaseProtectedResourceDetails();
result.setConsumerKey(CONSUMER_KEY);
result.setSharedSecret(secret);
result.setSignatureMethod(SIGNATURE_METHOD);
result.setUse10a(true);
result.setRequestTokenURL(SERVER_URL_OAUTH_REQUEST);
result.setAccessTokenURL(SERVER_URL_OAUTH_ACCESS);
return result;
}
});
return consumerSupport;
}
and then reading the protected resource:
consumerSupport.readProtectedResource(url, accessToken, "GET");
Has someone actually managed to make this work without boiler-plate code?

How to use Javapns to Support Apple's Enhanced Notification Format

Greetings,
I am creating a Java based server to create push notifications for Apple's iOS APNs service. I have found Javapns on google code which seems to provide a simple basic framework to communicate with APNs, and which seems to be fairly wide used.
http://code.google.com/p/javapns/
However, reading Apple's docs, there is an "enhanced format" for notifications which supports "expiry" i.e. setting a time (well, in seconds) for a notification to expire if it hasn't yet been delivered. I do not see any way to set this using Javapns, and I am unsure how the APNs service handles expiry of notifications if you do not explicitly set it. So,
Does anyone know how to support the enhanced notification format of APNs specifically how to set the expiry?
Does anyone know how Apple handles notification expiry if it isn't explicitly set?
Does anyone have any suggestions that don't require me to start from scratch, as the server is currently functional as is?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew

I have recently made substantial contributions to the JavaPNS project, which lead to the release of JavaPNS 2.0 a few days ago. That version provides full support for the enhanced notification format, including the ability to set your own expiry.
Sylvain

Nice that you found the java library... to bad you didn't read the docs there.
I'll post some of the highlights below:
The existing code uses the 'Simple notification format' which does not return an error EVER.
See docs at:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/CommunicatingWIthAPS/CommunicatingWIthAPS.html
I've tried updating to the 'Enhanced notification format' which is supposed to return an error, but I'm unable to get any errors back from the APNS. (also in the link above)
With the Enhanced format, the connection isn't being dropped immediately after sending data, but I'm not getting anything back from my socket.getInputSocket.read() call.
This issue will have to be tabled until I have more time to troubleshoot.
(Someone else commented)
Thanks a lot for looking into it.
I got the same result as yours. Maybe it has something to do with Apple Gateway.
So... you could:
1) Build your own
2) Help improve the existing library
3) Try another library like: https://github.com/notnoop/java-apns
4) Do nothing

Enhanced ios push here.
To send a notification, you can do it in three steps:
Setup the connection
ApnsService service =
APNS.newService()
.withCert("/path/to/certificate.p12", "MyCertPassword")
.withSandboxDestination()
.build();
Create and send the message
String payload = APNS.newPayload().alertBody("Can't be simpler than this!").build();
String token = "fedfbcfb....";
service.push(token, payload);
To query the feedback service for inactive devices:
Map<String, Date> inactiveDevices = service.getInactiveDevices();
for (String deviceToken : inactiveDevices.keySet()) {
Date inactiveAsOf = inactiveDevices.get(deviceToken);
...
}

TwitterException {statusCode=403, retryAfter=0, rateLimitStatus=null}

I have recently noticed that I keep getting a 403 error while doing twitter search. My application was working until couple of days back when i noticed the error.
I checked with Twitter & they say my IP is not blocked, I am also within the rate limit = about 60 search requests/per hour.
Here's how i was initializing the Twitter object -
private static Twitter TWITTER_CLIENT = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
After i noticed the error, i tried the following & still no success -
private static Twitter TWITTER_CLIENT = new TwitterFactory().getInstance("user", "password");
Here's how i am searching -
TWITTER_CLIENT.search(new Query("#keyword1 OR #keyword2"));
I tried this URL (curl http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=ipad) from my server & it works alright.
Following is the exception. I am on java6 + Twitter4j v2.1.2. Would really appreciate any help. Thanks.
TwitterException{statusCode=403, retryAfter=0, rateLimitStatus=null}

Most likely the reason is basic auth shutdown by Twitter (aka OAuthcalypse):
Basic Auth Shutdown
You need to switch to using OAuth.

Recently i got the same error while executing similar code.
To fix it, please go to
https://apps.twitter.com/app/your_app_id
Click on Keys and access token
In Access Level, click modify app permission and choose the 3rd option: Read, Write and Access direct messages
Click on update. ( Note: you might have to add your mobile no and verify with otp to get this access if you dont have your no added in twitter)
Regenerate both Consumer key & secretand Access token & secret using the clickable button
Us e the new keys in your program
And you are done! Your program will start working.
