I need to list a specific users uploaded videos (YouTube) in a UITableView. I've downloaded the GData source and example projects (not iphone specific) but I can't seem to get it to work. Does anybody know of any good (or any at all ;)) tutorials out there?
Best regards, Magnus
Assuming you have included the GData client libraries to your project, you need to make a call to fetch the user's uploads, and then display them. Here's the simplest way I can think of:
Create an instance variable in your table view controller class that will hold the feed data returned from the YouTube API.
#import "GDataYouTube.h"
#import "GDataServiceGoogleYouTube.h"
@interface RootViewController : UITableViewController {
GDataFeedYouTubeVideo *feed;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) GDataFeedYouTubeVideo *feed;
Inside the implementation file, make a call to the API to fetch all uploaded videos. Inside the callback selector request:finishedWithFeed:error
, store the results in whatever format suits, and reload the table view. In the table views cellForRowAtIndexPath
method, format the cell as desired:
// get the youtube service
GDataServiceGoogleYouTube *service = [self youTubeService];
// feed id for user uploads
NSString *uploadsID = kGDataYouTubeUserFeedIDUploads;
// construct the feed url
NSURL *feedURL = [GDataServiceGoogleYouTube youTubeURLForUserID:@"annoyingorange"
userFeedID:uploadsID];
// make API call
[service fetchFeedWithURL:feedURL
delegate:self
didFinishSelector:@selector(request:finishedWithFeed:error:)];
