StravaZpot

A fluent API to integrate with Strava on Android apps.

Usage

This document explains how to use StravaZpot in your Android app. For additional questions, you may want to check Strava official documentation here.

Authentication

Login button

StravaZpot includes a custom view to include a login button according to Strava guidelines. To do that, you can add the following code to your XML layout:

<com.sweetzpot.stravazpot.authenticaton.ui.StravaLoginButton
  xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
  android:id="@+id/login_button"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_gravity="center"
  app:type="orange"/>

The custom attribute type accepts two different values: orange and light (default). StravaLoginButton makes use of vector drawables in the support library. Thus, if you are targeting version prior to Android API 21, you would need to add the following code to your Activity:

static {

  AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
 
}

Login Activity

Strava uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate users, and then request them to grant permission to your app. To get a Client ID and Secret from Strava for your app, follow this link.

Once you have your app credentials, you can get an Intent to launch the login activity for your app. You can easily do it with:

Intent intent = StravaLogin.withContext(this)

 .withClientID(<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>)

 .withRedirectURI(<YOUR_REDIRECT_URL>)

 .withApprovalPrompt(ApprovalPrompt.AUTO)

 .withAccessScope(AccessScope.VIEW_PRIVATE_WRITE)

 .makeIntent();
 startActivityForResult(intent, RQ_LOGIN);

You need to notice several things with this call:

<YOUR_CLIENT_ID> must be replaced with the Client ID provided by Strava when you registered your application.
<YOUR_REDIRECT_URL> must be in the domain you specified when you registered your app in Strava.
Refer to ApprovalPrompt enum to get more options for this parameter.
Refer to AccessScope enum to get more options for this parameter.
You need to launch the intent with startActivityForResult since the login activity will return a value that you will need later to obtain a token. If login to Strava was successful and the user granted permission to your app, you will receive a code that you can retrieve with:

@Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

if(requestCode == RQ_LOGIN && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null) {

String code = data.getStringExtra(StravaLoginActivity.RESULT_CODE);

// Use code to obtain token
  
}
 
}

Finally, you need to add the login activity to your manifest:

<activity
  android:name="com.sweetzpot.stravazpot.authenticaton.ui.StravaLoginActivity"
  android:label="@string/login_strava" />

Obtain a Token

Every Strava API call needs a token to prove the user is authenticated and the app has permission to access the API. After you have obtained the code from user login, you need to exchange it with Strava to get a token. You can do it with the following code:

AuthenticationConfig config = AuthenticationConfig.create()

.debug()

.build();
 AuthenticationAPI api = new AuthenticationAPI(config);
 LoginResult result = api.getTokenForApp(AppCredentials.with(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET))

 .withCode(CODE)

 .execute();

Notice that in this call you must provide the Client ID and Secret provided by Strava when you registered your application, and the code obtained during the login process. Also, the execution of the previous code involves a network request; you are responsible for calling this code in a suitable thread, outside the UI thread. Otherwise, you will get an exception.

If the previous request is successful, you will get a LoginResult, which has a Token that you can use in your subsequent API calls, and an Athlete instance, representing the authenticated user.

Athlete API

StravaConfig

Before introducing the Athlete API, we have to talk about StravaConfig. StravaConfig is a class required by all the APIs in StravaZpot to configure the way it is going to interact with Strava. You can create a single instance of StravaConfig as soon as you obtain a token, and reuse it during your app lifecycle. To create an instance of StravaConfig:

StravaConfig config = StravaConfig.withToken(TOKEN)

  .debug()

  .build();

You must provide the token obtained during the authentication process. The call to debug() method will show in the Android Monitor what is going on when you do the network requests.

Once you have the configuration object, you can proceed to use all the APIs.

Check upload status

UploadStatus uploadStatus = uploadAPI.checkUploadStatus(16486788)

  .execute();

Threading

All the APIs in StravaZpot perform network requests in a synchronous manner and without switching to a new thread. Therefore, it is up to the user of the library to invoke the API in a suitable thread, and outside the Android UI thread in order to avoid NetworkOnMainThreadException.

Exceptions

StravaZpot methods do not have any checked exceptions, but users of the library should be prepared for them to happen. In particular, the following scenarios can arise:

Strava may return a 401 Unauthorized response code. In that case, the network request will throw a StravaUnauthorizedException. It is up to the user of the library to reuthenticate with Strava to get a new token and retry the request.
If any other network error happen, or the request is not successful, it will throw a StravaAPIException.

Download

You can get StravaZpot from JCenter using Gradle. Just add this line to your build file:

compile 'com.sweetzpot.stravazpot:lib:1.2'
