Android gist API client written in Scala

gist-it

Open source Android gist API client written in Scala.

The Android app uses the new github api to provide a "send to gist" feature for most applications which have a "Send" or "Share" menu.

Check the following screenshot to get an idea of the flow (this example uses the ColorNote Notepad app)

By default gists are created anonymously - you can add your github account using Android's "Accounts & Sync" settings or follow the instructions in the gist app itself.

With an associated account you also have the ability to edit existing gists - Use "Load gist" from the menu, make changes and upload it again.

Usage from other apps

If your are developing an Android app and want to make use of the gist api you can do so with intents. At the moment there are two actions exposed:

picking/loading a gist

Intent intent = new Intent("com.zegoggles.gist.PICK");
intent.putExtra("load_gist", false); // load gist content, defaults to true
startActivityForResult(intent, 0)

uploading a gist

startActivityForResult(new Intent("com.zegoggles.gist.UPLOAD")
    .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "text123")
    .putExtra("public", false)
    .putExtra("description", "testing gist upload via intent"), 0);

Building from source

You need sbt (simple-build-tool, >= 0.11.2 ) in order to build the project,

$ export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/sdk # or ANDROID_SDK_{HOME,ROOT}
$ sbt android:package-debug

To run tests:

$ sbt test

Pull requests welcome, especially the design needs some love (hint, hint).

gist-it's Issues

Gist-it crashes when I try to view a Gist note

Specs:

• Gist-it 0.1.4
• Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean (FrostyJB)
• Samsung Galaxy SIII SGH-T999

Trying to authorize an account leads to a 404 page

Phone: SE Xperia X10, Android 2.1

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to the android accounts & synchronization settings
2. Tap 'add account'
3. Tap 'gist-it'
4. Log in to github in the browser view that pops up

Result:

After authorization, I'm redirected to a 404 page on 'Ze Goggles'.

Please add support for utf8

When I upload a gist containing non-ascii utf8 characters, they end up as question marks in the uploaded gist.
