Country set

[CoCumis]

Hi

First, thank you for great job. I want to ask, how i can change country of google play from which google return category application list. Changing only localization return the same list of applications. I found in googlePlayApi.java only one country string - device_contry in checkin. Is that it? If yes, should I "rechekin" for each country which i want to crawl?

Thank for reply

I was trying to supply in these methods(login and loginAC2DM) some other country/lang codes but it doesn't work. In the result I still have "en" based data.

Hi,

I did some tests about this localization and find out these:

• "Accept-Language" http attribute only defines language of reviews, descriptions, title ...
• This attribute has nothing to do with listed applications. Also checkin options like device-country and lang dont effect listing.
• I only managed to fetch localized application lists by using proxy in a country.

So I can say that google play server filters applications to be listed according to your IP location.

@Akdeniz could you please extend GooglePlayAPI in order to simplify the work with different languages? I need possibility to get reviews, descriptions, title in various languages.

Right now most of required GooglePlayAPI methods are private and it's hard to extend. Could you please introduce some additional configuration parameters.. like Locale or language or so on ?

Thanks.

@Artgit you can simply overload this method: list, details, executeGetRequest, getHeaderParameters and supply them with language parameter. In getHeaderParameter set this language parameter to "Accepted-Language" string. After that you can call details/list with language code which you want.
