Obtaining an API key Once you are within Flickr, point your browser to https://www.flickr.com/services/api/. Go to 'Create an APP' for creating an API key. Click on the link "Request an API Key". This will turn up two options, whether you want to go for a commercial app or a non-commercial one.

All it takes is just 3 steps and you will have it implemented.

Step 1: Find your user id.

The easiest way is to use this service http://idgettr.com/

Step 2: Acquire you flickr api key

Just log-in to you account and click this link http://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.api_keys.html

Step 3: Get the code from the example project from our blog

http://www.quintostdio.com/blog/archives/1117

Add you user id and api key on the FlickrActivity class (in the package com.quintostdio.test.flickr.ui) and run the example. You can copy paste the classes and add it to your project, with no more changes and it will work.
