Question

Okay, it seems to be a stupid question, since we have this

However, up to the moment, I can only succeed in displaying the thumbnails by using:

PhotoEntry photo = //somehow I get the instance
photo.getMediaThumbnails().get(0).getUrl()

The biggest photo I can display through this method is up to 300 pixel or so[which is photo.getMediaThumbnails().get(3)]. How can I display the a thumbnail up to 400 pixel or even 800 pixel? Or How can I even refer back to the google picasa page that can actually help me display this photo?

Thanks

The following was answered by a community member of google picasa api:

Take a look at

http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/docs/2.0/reference.html#Parameters

It explains how you can control the
size of the image that the
media:content link points to as well
as how you can request different
thumbsizes for the media:thumbnail
links. Also listed are the valid size
values available. Note though, that
you can only access images up to 800px
in size (width or height, whatever is
larger) from websites.

For instance:

GET
/feed/api/user//albumid/?
kind=photo&imgmax=800&thumbsize=512,400,160c

will give you a link to an 800px
version in the media:content link, a
link to the uncropped 512px and 400px
version in the first two
media:thumbnail elements and a
square-cropped 160×160 thumbnail in
the third thumbnail element.
