Sync with Google Books (and future other providers too). #2

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Right now "provider" infrastructure is in place, just need to finish out 
Google OAuth and sync with Google Books "bookshelf" (new stuff added *while* 
this was being developed, same exact idea as this project). Then add other 
providers after initial Google Books.

Note a few users have asked about social features -- this basically should be 
facilitated through the provider sync.  For example, rate your books locally, 
then 
sync with gbooks, your ratings are then shared. (Maybe we could get more direct 
than 
that, but that is the reason the current model even has a "rating," truth be 
told.)

not sure if possible, some programs use(d) Library of Congress as a source. in 
my
experience it was a very accurate source.

I know there are a lot of possible sites to sync with out there, but I'd love 
to see 
integration with GoodReads as well (http://www.goodreads.com). It has very 
similar 
features to Google Books but the social networking angle is much much stronger. 
There 
is a full API available with details here:

Absolutely to the GoodReads sync. I have seen/used it a bit in the past and it 
is 
quite nice. 

Here is the list of online book apps that I would like to have work to some 
degree or 
another (depending on how nice their APIs are, and what their licensing is) at 
some 
point: http://code.google.com/p/and-
bookworm/source/browse/trunk/docs/online_book_apps.txt. 

I don't yet know the priority there, but I will be working on a way to 
generalize the 
whole "sync to external provider" first, and then Google Books via OAuth. 

I actually already have a Google Books sync version locally, but it makes you 
store 
your google user/pass (like many other Android apps in the market) and that is 
exactly the *wrong* way to do it. It should use OAuth, which will take you to 
Google 
via the web browser and prompt you to "authorize" the app, and then store a 
token, 
never store your user/pass. I haven't completed the OAuth part yet, and don't 
want to 
release the wrong-way version, want to take a little more time and get it 
right.

I'd be more than happy to help test it, point me to apk you need checked and I 
can
mess around.

Still working on it, just been really busy, sorry it's taking so long. It is 
definitely still on my list, and a big priority.

Would this include syncing with Google Books "My Library"?

Hi! I found your app a few weeks ago and I think it's terrific. If you're still 
working on this, can you add this to the sources, please? www.isbndb.com 
Thanks!
