Hi, I will like to know if it is possible to write a J2ME application to edit and post blogs towww.blogger.com. Can we use Blogger Data APIs or we need to implement our own version of protocol? Please help. Will be glad to work on such apps in J2ME, as have 4 years of experiece in J2ME. thanks,

Hi avi,

I don't think Google has provided a J2ME library for use with Blogger and other Google Data APIs. It sounds like you have quite a bit of experience working with J2ME, so it might be possible for you to whip up a simple client. Overall, the AtomPub/Google Data APIs are simpler than they may first appear, you probably need three main ingredients to support these web services: an HTTP client, XML parser, and code to handle Google's auth mechanisms. The Blogger protocol developer guide gives a good overview of everything you need to know to create a client:

I'm really excited about the prospect of an open source J2ME client library, so please let me know if you are interested in creating one. If not, some quick Google Searching gave some results of J2ME AtomPub clients that might be worth checking out.

Happy coding,

Jeff
