Android Java SDK

The Rdio Android SDK lets developers call the web service API, authenticate users if the Rdio Android app is installed, and play full song streams or 30 second samples.

Full API documentation is available: http://www.rdio.com/media/static/developer/android/docs/

To get started:

• Get a developer key and secret from http://developer.rdio.com
• Clone the sample app https://github.com/rdio/hello-android
• Make sure you uncomment and change the appKey & appSecret to your developer key & secret
• Download the Rdio Android SDK and OAuth Signpost JARs
• Add references to the jars into your Eclipse project

Android Playback Intents

When the Rdio app on Android plays music it broadcasts intents so that other applications can react. For consistency with other music player applications on Android we emit com.rdio.android.metachanged and com.rdio.android.playstatechanged intents whenever the playing track changes, playback starts or stops, etc. These intents have the following extras:

track

String - track name

artist

String - artist name

album

String - album name

position

int - playback position in milliseconds

duration

int - track duration in seconds

rdioTrackKey

String - the key of the track being played

rdioSourceKey

String - the key of the source being played

isPaused

boolean - is the track paused

isPlaying

boolean - is the track playing

There's additional discussion on this topic on in the rdio-api Google Group.
