Hi I am new to flickrj library.
Have foundational java knowledge though.
The project that I am working on requires me to authenticate into flickr and then download geo-tagged images into a folder in local hard drive. The program will be Desktop application program.
I am approaching the program by breaking down into 3 steps.
1.Proper authentication to be completed.(which i have succeeded)
2.Try to download all the photos that user has when authenticated.
3.Try to alter the code a little so that it will only download geo-tagged images.
My problems is on step 2. I cant download logged-in user images let alone geo-tagged ones.
I am trying the code provided by Daniel Cukier here
But I am running into problem.
My netbeans simply strike off at the line 77 on .getOriginalAsStream() part, with the error "java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - Erroneous sym type: java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream.write"
From my understanding netbeans striking off a line means , it is depreciated but shouldnt it still work? What is holding this whole problem back?
I have tried researching and basically I have to admit , it is beyond my capability to trouble shoot. If anyone has any idea on what i am doing wrong , I would be so grateful.
Ps: I am not looking to be spoon fed but please answer me in idiot-friendly way as I am still a student and my java isn't the greatest.
This code is what I have so far.
