Using the Library

If no short URL is created, then the URL that was inserted when calling function is shown.

Ex) If you enter "http://www.google.com"
Success > http://www.goo.gl/fbsS
Fail > http://www.google.com

You can create short URL's either synchronous (in case you want to embedd it into an already existing asynchronous operation) or asynchroneous.

Create short URL's synchronously

@Override
protected void doInBackground(Void... void) {
    String longUrl = "http://www.google.com";
    String shortUrl = ShortURL.makeShort(longUrl);
}

Create short URL's asynchronously

String longUrl = "http://www.google.com";
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
ShortURL.makeShortUrl(longUrl, new ShortUrlListener() {
    @Override
    public void OnFinish(String url) {

        if (url != null && 0 < url.length()) {
            textView.setText(url);
        } else {
            textView.setText("Error");
        }

    }
});
