Chapter 27  Search

Now add methods to kick off the download by building a URL and calling
downloadGalleryItems(String).

Listing 27.4  Adding methods to get recents and search (FlickrFetchr.java)

public class FlickrFetchr {
...
public String getUrlString(String urlSpec) throws IOException {
return new String(getUrlBytes(urlSpec));
}

public List fetchRecentPhotos() {
String url = buildUrl(FETCH_RECENTS_METHOD, null);
return downloadGalleryItems(url);
}

public List searchPhotos(String query) {
String url = buildUrl(SEARCH_METHOD, query);
return downloadGalleryItems(url);
}

private List downloadGalleryItems(String url) {
List items = new ArrayList<>();
...
return items;
}
...
}

FlickrFetchr is now equipped to handle both searching and getting recent photos. The
fetchRecentPhotos() and searchPhotos(String) methods serve as the public interface for getting a
list of GalleryItems from the Flickr web service.
