[Android] Streaming top chart songs #135

Open AdrianHarr opened 9 years ago

AdrianHarr commented 9 years ago

Songs obtained from "getTopCharts" return canStream as true, but when the track keys are requested in a "get", canStream returns false. This was tested with an unlimited account.

This can happen if the server making the API request is in a region different from the user. Ensure that you're making API requests with the user's access token and secret.

You should also check our guide to regions.

I'm using this to pass the user in the request

  List<NameValuePair> args = new LinkedList<NameValuePair>();
args.add(new BasicNameValuePair("keys",keys));
args.add(new BasicNameValuePair("user", userKey));
args.add(new BasicNameValuePair("extras","trackKeys"));

rdio.apiCall("get", args, new RdioApiCallback() {
            ...
    }

I checked the stream regions of the user, it is US. The track from the "get" request does not have US as a stream region, so I need the alternative track, which the region guide says is not easy to find.

user isn't a valid parameter for the get API method. The access token and secret determine the user of the request.

I believe these are set in the super method of onRdioAuthorized, or in my onActivityResult if necessary. Megan Trainer (sp) All About the Bass on a get request returns 5 streaming regions, none of which are US.
