Google Sites API

1. get XHTML text
   ((XhtmlTextConstruct) entry.getTextContent().getContent()).getXhtml().getBlob()
2. get plain text (no xml tags)
   entry.getTextContent().getContent().getPlainText().
3. update xhtml
   XmlBlob newBlob = new XmlBlob();
newBlob.setBlob(updatedXml);
entry.setContent(new XhtmlTextConstruct(newBlob));
entry.update();
System.out.println("Updated " + getEntryId(entry.getId()));
4. get all entries (possible failure in getting all entries if there is a write action to the server during these code)
   

   List<ContentFeed> feeds = new LinkedList<ContentFeed>();
   
   int startIndex = 1;
   
   while (true) {
   
     q.setStringCustomParameter("start-index",
   
     String.valueOf(startIndex));
   
     ContentFeed contentFeed = client.query(q, ContentFeed.class);
   
     int entrySize = contentFeed.getEntries().size();
   
     if (entrySize > 0) {
   
       feeds.add(contentFeed);
   
       startIndex += entrySize;
   
       System.out.println(getEntryId(contentFeed.getEntries().get(0).getId()));
   
     } else {
   
       break;
   
     }
   
   }

5. Download a file using browser-accessible URL:
   

   private byte[] getData(String url) {
   
     MediaContent mc = new MediaContent();
   
     mc.setUri(url);
   
     MediaSource msrc;
   
     try {
   
       msrc = client.getMedia(mc);
   
       InputStream in = msrc.getInputStream();
   
       return org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toByteArray(in);
   
     } catch (Exception e) {
   
       return null;
   
     }
   
   }

6. Alternative to download a file using browser-accessible URL:
   

   private byte[] getData(String url) {
   
     try {
   
       ILink link = new com.google.gdata.model.atom.Link("alternate", null, url);
   
       GDataRequest req = client.createLinkQueryRequest(link);
   
       req.execute();
   
       InputStream in = req.getResponseStream();
   
       return org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toByteArray(in));
   
     } catch (Exception e) {
   
       return null;
   
     }
   
   }

7. Retrieve the entry corresponding to a browser-accessible URL(http://sites.google.com/site/siteName/path/to/the/page):
   

   ContentQuery query = new ContentQuery(new URL(buildContentFeedUrl()));
   
   query.setPath("/path/to/the/page");
   
   ContentFeed contentFeed = client.getFeed(query, ContentFeed.class);
   
   for (BaseContentEntry entry : contentFeed.getEntries()) {
   
     // do something with the entry
   
   }
