##Google URL Shortener An Android/Java Library to create short URL's using Google's URL Shortener.

###Demo Application Screenshot You can download the demo application here

###Get the Library Using Gradle:

dependencies {
  //other dependencies here  compile 'com.pddstudio:urlshortener:1.0.2' 
}
 

###Using the Library

You can create short URL's either synchronous (in case you want to embedd it into an already existing asynchronous operation) or asynchroneous.

Create short URL's synchronously

@Override protected void doInBackground(Void... void) {
  //your other async stuff  String longUrl = "http://somelink.com/very/long/url";  String shortUrl = URLShortener.short(longUrl);
 
}

Create short URL's asynchronously

public void shortUrl() {
  String longUrl = "http://somelink.com/very/long/url";  TextView outputText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.someTextView);
  URLShortener.shortUrl(longUrl, new URLShortener.LoadingCallback() {

@Override

public void startedLoading() {

 outputLink.setText("Loading...");

}

 @Override

public void finishedLoading(@Nullable String shortUrl) {

 //make sure the string is not null

 if(shortUrl != null) outputLink.setText(shortUrl);

 else outputLink.setText("Unable to generate Link!");

}

  
}
);
 
}
