Using the Evernote API from Android

Authors

Recently I have been experimenting a little with Android.

I like Evernote a lot and use it heavily, so I looked into how to use the Evernote API from Android.

Steps:

  1. Obtain an Evernote API key
  2. Create a test account on the sandbox server
  3. Run the sample

1. Obtain an Evernote API key

First, obtain an API key from http://evernote.com/intl/jp/developer/api/.

Enter the following information:

  • Evernote user name
  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Organization

After you finish entering the application description, the following items are sent to the email address you registered.

  • Consumer Key
  • Consumer Secret

2. Create a test account on the sandbox server

Use the sandbox server for API testing.

Create an account at https://sandbox.evernote.com/Registration.action. After that, download the API SDK. It may be better to download it from GitHub. When I tried it with ADT 1.8, I ran into errors and could not get it to work.

GitHub evernote-android-sdk:

From the command line:

$ git clone https://github.com/evernote/evernote-sdk-android.git

3. Run the sample

Import HelloEDAM from Eclipse and edit the project as described in README.md.
