tumblr
Command line interface and Ruby client for the Tumblr API (v2)
I'm building a new website, and I'm looking for a transparant navigation bar so the background is visible. Is there a way to change this?

It seems like {PreviousPost} and {NextPost} is not working on Tumblr for creating custom themes. Here's my code. Can someone point to my mistake...
<div>
{block:PreviousPost}<a rel='nofollow' href="{PreviousPost}"><span>Previous Post</span></a>{/block:PreviousPost}
{block:NextPost}<a rel='nofollow' href="{NextPost}"><span>Next Post</span></a>{/block:NextPost}

One assumed using the Tumblr API to upload images would be easy. It isn't. (EDIT It is now, see Edit 2 at the end of this entry)
My app is supposed to upload an image to tumblr. I would prefer doing that from a service but for now I use an activity that closes itself as soon as its done uploading. In OnCreate() the user is authenticated:
consumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET);
// It uses this signature by default
// consumer.setMessageSigner(new HmacSha1MessageSigner());
provider = new CommonsHttpOAuthProvider(REQUEST_TOKEN_URL,ACCESS_TOKEN_URL,AUTH_URL);
String authUrl;
try
{
authUrl = provider.retrieveRequestToken(consumer, CALLBACK_URL);
Log.d(TAG, "Auth url:" + authUrl);
startActivity(new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse(authUrl)));
}
This opens a browser activity where the user can add username and passoword and then the app returns to the activity (this is also why I have to use an activity, I don't know how to do this from a service)
Returning from the browser the data is extracted
Uri uri = context.getIntent().getData();
if (uri != null && uri.toString().startsWith(CALLBACK_URL))
{
Log.d(TAG, "uri!=null");
String verifier = uri.getQueryParameter("oauth_verifier");
Log.d(TAG, "verifier"+verifier);
try
{
provider.setOAuth10a(true);
provider.retrieveAccessToken(consumer, verifier);
Log.d(TAG, "try");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Log.e(TAG, e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
OAUTH_TOKEN = consumer.getToken();
OAUTH_SECRET = consumer.getTokenSecret();
Most of these two snippets I got from here and they work well.
With these tokens I can now try putting data on tumblr. When I try to add Text this works fine using this method:
private void createText()
{
if(!OAUTH_TOKEN.equals(""))
{
HttpContext context = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost("http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/" + blogname + ".tumblr.com/post");
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("type", "text"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("body", "this is just a test"));
try
{
request.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
}
catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e1)
{
Log.e(TAG, e1.toString());
e1.printStackTrace();
}
if (consumer == null)
{
consumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(OAuthConstants.TUMBR_CONSUMERKEY, OAuthConstants.TUMBR_SECRETKEY);
}
if (OAUTH_TOKEN == null || OAUTH_SECRET == null)
{
Log.e(TAG, "Not logged in error");
}
consumer.setTokenWithSecret(OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_SECRET);
try
{
consumer.sign(request);
}
catch (OAuthMessageSignerException e)
{
}
catch (OAuthExpectationFailedException e)
{
}
catch (OAuthCommunicationException e)
{
}
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
//finally execute this request
try
{
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request, context);
HttpEntity responseEntity = response.getEntity();
if (responseEntity != null)
{
Log.d(TAG, "responseEntety!=null");
try
{
Log.d(TAG, EntityUtils.toString(responseEntity));
}
catch (ParseException e)
{

Log.e(TAG, e.toString());
}
catch (IOException e)
{

Log.e(TAG, e.toString());
} // gives me {"meta":{"status":401,"msg":"Not Authorized"},"response":[]} when I try to upload a photo

As you can see here http://www.tumblr.com/blog/snapnowandroid (at least as of this time) the text "this is just a test" is posted.
However, when I try to post images, it gets strange. Now I have checked around and apparently this is a well known issue with the tumblr API, which has excessively been discussed here and some have solved it in other programming languages (for example here) but I have been unable to repeat those successes.
The method (in its entirety bellow) has the exact same structure to the above method (that works), the nameValuePairs are just different
The method is given a Bitmap variable called photo
private void uploadToTumblr(Bitmap photo)
This bitmap is converted into an array
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byte[] bytes = stream.toByteArray();
The nameValuePairs are filled as follows
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(URLEncoder.encode("type", enc), URLEncoder.encode("photo", enc)));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(URLEncoder.encode("caption", enc), URLEncoder.encode(text, enc)));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("data", Base64.encodeToString(bytes, Base64.URL_SAFE)));
The result is a {"meta":{"status":400,"msg":"Bad Request"},"response":{"errors":["Error uploading photo."]}} from the tumblr api.
I have tries encoding the picture differently as discribed in this article but without any changes.
//http://www.coderanch.com/t/526487/java/java/Java-Byte-Hex-String
final char[] hexArray = {'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F'};
char[] hexChars = new char[bytes.length * 3];
int v;
for ( int j = 0; j < bytes.length; j++ )
{
v = bytes[j] & 0xFF;
hexChars[j * 3] = '%';
hexChars[j * 3 + 1] = hexArray[v >>> 4];
hexChars[j * 3 + 2] = hexArray[v & 0x0F];
}
String s = new String(hexChars);
s = URLEncoder.encode(s, enc);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(URLEncoder.encode("data", enc), s));
Here the entire method (without the hex encoding):
private void uploadToTumblr(Bitmap photo)
{
if(!OAUTH_TOKEN.equals(""))
{
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byte[] bytes = stream.toByteArray();
String text ="SNAP";
HttpContext context = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost("http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/" + blogname + ".tumblr.com/post");
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
String enc = "UTF-8";
try
{
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(URLEncoder.encode("type", enc), URLEncoder.encode("photo", enc)));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(URLEncoder.encode("caption", enc), URLEncoder.encode(text, enc)));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("data", Base64.encodeToString(bytes, Base64.URL_SAFE)));
}

Now, while there are several things I am unhappy with (for example that this is done using an activity instead of a service) the big issue here is clearly the problem of uploading images. I am by no means the first to have this problem, so has anyone been able to get this done in java?
Edit 1
Have not made any progress with the problem at hand but created a workaround that might be nice for people who have the same issue. Tumblr offers posting via mail and you can programm android to send emails in the background as shown here. This works very well but you need to ask users to provide their mail account data and the Tumblr-mail Adress to post.
Edit 2
Years have pased and using email is no longer the easy way to do it. With jumblr there is finally a good API for Java that will work on android. OAuth-Authentication is no fun (it never is) but once you get past this, its fantastic.
Now, technically the question of how to do the authentication does not belong here but It's my overly long question, so I'll just paste some code here and if it's not interesting to you just skip it.
This uses a jar called jumblr-0.0.10-jar-with-dependencies.jar

I'm developing a tumblr theme for my personal portfolio, but I'm encountering a serious problem in my work section, I want to create an horizontal slider effect, when I click next to see older posts,
like this:
http://tympanus.net/Tutorials/WebsiteScrolling/
I have this to define my nextPage, #section4 is where I have the posts of my work:
<!-- Next Page -->
{block:NextPage}
<div>
<a id="next-button" rel='nofollow' href="{NextPage}#section4" class="next panel" style="position:relative; top:630px; left:1550px;">next</a>
</div>
{/block:NextPage}
<!-- / Next Page -->
Well, this is defined to open an other page:
"indexPage".tumblr.com#section4
when I click next it goes to:
"indexPage".tumblr.com/page/2#section4
Is there a way I can do this slide effect on my index page or at least give the illusion, that I'm making slide effect, when moving to other page?

What is the schema of a image-file at Tumblr? (I don't mean HTTP)
I've only figured out that the domain of the servers where images are stored is <n>.media.tumblr.com, where n is a number between 1 and 31 and the name of the image file is prefixed with "tumblr_.
I'm asking because I want to find URLs that refer to the same image.
EDIT: I'm also processing URLs from other sources, not only Tumblr.

Anybody know if there is any API call limits per second, hour or day for Tumblr API? It seems to me the limits do exist when I make a lot of api calls in a short period via OAuth. However, I couldn't find any document on Tumblr API website or on Google. Many thanks.

My first delve into working with JSON data. I have a bit of experience using jQuery though.
I'm posting to this URL (tumblr api): jyoseph.com/api/read/json
What I'm trying to do is output the json that gets returned. What I have so far:
$(document).ready(function(){
$.getJSON("http://jyoseph.com/api/read/json?callback=?",
function(data) {
//console.log(data);
console.log(data.posts);
$.each(data.posts, function(i,posts){
var id = this.id;
var type = this.type;
var date = this.date;
var url = this.url;
var photo500 = this.photo-url-500;
$('ul').append('<li> ' +id+ ' - ' +type+ ' - ' +date+ ' - ' +url+ ' - ' +photo500+ ' - ' + ' </li>');
});
});
});
See my jsbin post for the entire script: http://jsbin.com/utaju/edit
Some of the keys from tumblr have "-" hyphens in them, and that seem to be causing a problem. As you can see "photo-url-500" or another "photo-caption" is causing the script to break, it's outputting NaN.
Is there a problem with having hyphens in the key names? Or am I going about this all wrong?

The new code from tumblr {LikeButton} comes with a very few options: color and size.
It injects an iFrame, which handles the "Like" functionality and provides SVG graphics.
However because of the iframe and cross site scripting policies, it is no longer possible to alter it with css nor to edit its contents.
How can I modify, or insert new code, to use my own Like button sprites or svgs?

Tumblr has a sharer just like facebook and twitter, tumblr's is: http://www.tumblr.com/share/. I believe that Tumblr's works by looking at the referring url and uses that.
I cannot seem to find any documentation to override that. I want to pass in an additional key into the url that is sent by default. Any idea's how to do this?
Thanks!

I realize this is nothing new and that there are LOTS of posts on this topic already. However, non are exactly related to what I'm looking for... SO, here it goes:

Verified that:
1. OAuth_token is correct.
2. oAuth Header is sorted in alphabetical order.
3. Signature base string contains no parameters because there are none.

1. Are there any other headers that I need to include (not sure if CF is adding any in automatically)
2. Can anyone verify my signature base string?
3. Are there case sensitivity issues in the signature base string? (or anywhere else)
EDIT- 1/27/2013

Is this signature correct?
3. Signature:

Is this Authorization Header correct:
4. Authorization header (FYI- there is a space after each comma- is that ok?
And- is the encoding on the Signature ok?):
(Also, I've tried this in alphabetical order and not- same result)
OAuth oauth_signature="2n%2Bxbj9gbOrADeaQ3nORKNhOTUg%3D",
oauth_token="XXX",
oauth_consumer_key="XXX",

oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",
oauth_timestamp="1359320053",
oauth_version="1.0"
I'm hoping someone can confirm that this is correct or not. In the latter case, I'll tweak it a little and hopefully check again. Thanks in advance all.

10000);
HttpResponse response1;
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(
"http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/"+username+".tumblr.com/post");
consumer.sign(post);
JSONObject json_obj_val = new JSONObject();
json_obj_val.put("type", "photo");

json_obj_val.put("source", "http://50.57.227.117/blacksheep/uploaded/Detailed_images/961314275649aladdins.jpg");
post.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
post.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
StringEntity entity_val = new StringEntity(
json_obj_val.toString());
entity_val.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(
HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));
post.setEntity(entity_val);
response1 = client.execute(post);
String response_string = EntityUtils.toString(response1.getEntity());
