is there any plugin to read and write to Dropbox? I have seen an other post about dropbox but was posted 2 years ago. Is there any change so the plugin can write to Dropbox? Or an other solution like dropbox for example google drive or something else? I ask because I need a solution for an application to backup its data.
Thanks in advance!
The same library is still there although I haven't personally tested that it still works. I know some developers ported it to OAuth 2.x but they didn't contribute the code back so if it doesn't work that might be a problem.
I'm not aware of a similar integration at this time.

Two years ago, I read your article: https://www.codenameone.com/blog/on-device-web-server.html
I still remember being intrigued, but then I never went deeper. Today I was thinking about it again and I'd like to understand better.
What programming languages does this local server support? It seems strange to me that it is an equivalent of Apache, IIS, Tomcat or similar... Actually, what can I do with this server? I didn't get that from your blog article.
Thanks for the clarification.
The webserver is currently very simplistic and only serves files. The main use case we needed to attack was that of HTML5 features that won't work when running from a file but would work from a URL.
So it doesn't support a specific language like Java Servlets etc. as it's implemented natively.
Dropbox recently introduced Project Infinite, which displays a 0 byte file placeholder in Finder / Explorer that when double-clicked causes the Dropbox app to download the file and open it.
It doesn't appear to have been enabled on my account yet so I can't test it but their demo video shows it being completely seamless.
Does anyone know exactly how this is occurring behind the scenes? Are they using something like FUSE to create their own file system?
Also, how do they make it appear to be 6 MB when the file is actually 0 bytes?
So it seems like Dropbox has answered my question for me in a follow-up blog post.
They were going to use FUSE but decided against it for performance reasons. They're directly building native kernel extensions, which is probably overkill for my needs. I guess I'll stick with FUSE.
I am considering to add a Blog on my GAE/J application and wondered what is the best way to do so.
Are there any implementations I can use?
Should I write something on my own?
I read about Microblog but it is written in python, I am not sure it will co-exists with my Java app.
Appreciate your thoughts.
While I don't know any implementations that you can use, this question is very broad and there are a lot of different things that you could do, and writing your own is one of them.
Just to begin with you could use the Blogger API to read the posts and present them in your app. By doing that you're able to add/modify/delete posts using the Blogger's UI and in your own app you will only present the posts. The only problem with this solution is regarding the comments, where you could implement your own (just to start somewhere) or include maybe the Facebook's Comments Box.
I did exactly that for the kiebdoj.com/blog/ and it saved me a lot of time for not implementing my own WYSIWYG editor or a post manager. That was written in Python, so I can't provide any examples, but in either case it wasn't written to work on it's own.
I'm pretty much totally lost.. I've posted twice on the smartclient forums and gotten no help so maybe the people here are more friendly than their own staff. (it really bothers me but they appear to have the best software for what I'm trying to do)
I'm trying to wrap my head around how I would get one of their examples (the demo showcase ones which I have downloaded etc) on my web host, just to see how it works/play with it, but I couldn't find any forum guides or videos etc on this (documentation is really abysmal for people that don't speak code yet).
Is there some special back-end I need on my web host? Where can I go to figure out how to link the stuff together? Do I have to compile something using java.. etc.
I'm used to just editing stuff in notepad++, uploading it, and hitting refresh, but I'm guessing smartclient isn't that simple, or is it? (I'm just going to use it to make tables from excel spreadsheets that I can filter through, that's it, no fancy application).
Sincerely,
Mr. Totally Lost.
Everything is covered by the guide (page 6) : http://www.smartclient.com/docs/8.2/docs/SmartClient_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf
SmartClient embed everything needed, you will only need a valid JDK installation and the zip provided in their website.
I want to develop apps on GAE using Clojure with Compojure, using either Eclipse or Idea, emacs is not a bad idea :P
So which are the best ways to do this? I don't think that I want to use leiningen because I believe that maven can be very strong if you pass the learning curve - I read this blog http://compojureongae.posterous.com/tag/googleappengine which 'till now is one of the best source of information.
If you will have to do this, what will be your approach? Or what will you recommend me?
Is this plugin -> http://code.google.com/p/maven-gae-plugin/ ok? because if I use that plugin I can include in the pom.xml the clojure.jar and basically I'm ready to go, right? Is something similar for IntelliJ IDEA?
Any other suggestions?
And which is your way to do this?
There recently was an announcement on the Clojure mailing list of a library called appengine-magic which tries to abstract away the boilerplate related to GAE:
http://github.com/gcv/appengine-magic
http://osdir.com/ml/clojure/2010-09/msg00942.html
Just a some links. I think if you really want that combination you have to do some stoff your self but this should help.
