Usage

First login

        // A device definition is required to log in
        // See resources for a list of available devices
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        try {
            properties.load(getClass().getClassLoader().getSystemResourceAsStream("device-honami.properties"));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("device-honami.properties not found");
            return null;
        }
        PropertiesDeviceInfoProvider deviceInfoProvider = new PropertiesDeviceInfoProvider();
        deviceInfoProvider.setProperties(properties);
        deviceInfoProvider.setLocaleString(Locale.ENGLISH.toString());
        
        // Provide valid google account info
        PlayStoreApiBuilder builder = new PlayStoreApiBuilder()
            // Extend HttpClientAdapter using a http library of your choice
            .setHttpClient(new HttpClientAdapterImplementation())
            .setDeviceInfoProvider(deviceInfoProvider)
            .setEmail(email)
            .setPassword(password)
        ;
        GooglePlayAPI api = builder.build();
        
        // We are logged in now
        // Save and reuse the generated auth token and gsf id,
        // unless you want to get banned for frequent relogins
        api.getToken();
        api.getGsfId();
        
        // API wrapper instance is ready
        DetailsResponse response = api.details("com.cpuid.cpu_z");

Further logins

        // A device definition is required for routine requests too
        // See resources for a list of available devices
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        try {
            properties.load(getClass().getClassLoader().getSystemResourceAsStream("device-honami.properties"));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("device-honami.properties not found");
            return null;
        }
        PropertiesDeviceInfoProvider deviceInfoProvider = new PropertiesDeviceInfoProvider();
        deviceInfoProvider.setProperties(properties);
        deviceInfoProvider.setLocaleString(Locale.ENGLISH.toString());
        
        // Provide auth token and gsf id you previously saved
        PlayStoreApiBuilder builder = new PlayStoreApiBuilder()
            // Extend HttpClientAdapter using a http library of your choice
            .setHttpClient(new HttpClientAdapterImplementation())
            .setDeviceInfoProvider(deviceInfoProvider)
            .setToken(token)
            .setGsfId(gsfId)
        ;
        GooglePlayAPI api = builder.build();
        
        // API wrapper instance is ready
        DetailsResponse response = api.details("com.cpuid.cpu_z");
