Authentication

To authenticate you need to :

1. Instantiate a FlickrConnect class

   FlickrConnect flickrConnect = new FlickrConnect( this );       

2. check if already logged in, if not, call the authorize method, and pass your Flickr app parameters.

   /* check the authentification */
   if ( mFlickrConnect.IsLoggedIn() )
   {
       /* auth OK */
       (...)
   }
   else
   {
       /* auth need to be done */
       flickrConnect.authorize( this, getString( R.string.app_name ), 
                                                 getString( R.string.api_key ),
                                                 getString( R.string.api_secret ), 
                                                 getString( R.string.auth_url ), 
                                                 AUTHENTICATE ); 
   }

3. Override the onActivityResult to retrieve the authentication result.

   @Override
   protected void onActivityResult( int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data )
   {
   super.onActivityResult( requestCode, resultCode, data );
   switch ( requestCode )
   {
       case AUTHENTICATE:
           if ( resultCode == FlickrConnect.AUTH_SUCCESS )
           {                    
               Toast.makeText( this, "Auth OK !", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
           }
           else
           {
               Toast.makeText( this, "Auth KO !", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
           }
           break;
    }
    }
