An Android API wrapper for Dota 2.
###Requirements
- Google GSON (A library to convert JSON to Java and Java to JSON.)
- (Optional) Python
###Overview This project will deserialize DotA API responses into typed Java objects. Potentially saving you a lot of headache when dealing with JSON strings.
####Example
Creating a request URL:
HashMap<String, String> matchParams = new HashMap<String, String>();
matchParams.put(SteamRequest.Parameter.API_KEY,"your_steam_api_key");
matchParams.put(GetMatchDetails.Parameter.MATCH_ID, "1219429");
GetMatchDetails matchDetailsRequest = new GetMatchDetails();
String url = matchDetailsRequest.createRequestUrl(DotaRequest.ApplicationID.BETA, matchParams);Parsing the response:
// Resonse String from the API.
String apiResponse;
GsonUtil util = new GsonUtil();
Gson gson = new Gson();
GetMatchDetailsResponse matchDetailsResponse = gson.fromJson(util.getStrippedDotaResult(apiResponse),
GetMatchDetailsResponse.class);###Generating HeroBuildItemList.java
If you have Python installed you can generate the src/nl/ansuz/android/steam/dota/util/HeroBuildItemList.java file by running the BuildItemsParser Python script found in tools/itemparser.
First extract scripts/npc/items.txt from <path to steam>/Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/dota/pak01_dir.vpk using GCFScape or VPKReader if GCFScape doesn't work.
After this, tweak tools/itemparser/BuildItemsParser.cfg to meet your needs.
Last, run python tools/itemparser/BuildItemsParser.py
###Generating AbilityList.java
Pretty much the same as "Generating HeroBuildItemList.java" except for two small changes.
First, make sure to extract npc_abilities.txt instead of items.txt from the vpk file.
Second, use the Python script found under tools/abilityparser/.
###Player colours
The player colours (as found on the in-game HUD) are listed in res/values/colors_dota.xml.
