Verify Woocommerce in Android App
WooCommerce Settings

Android Setting
- Add scribe library to android project in app/libs folder.
Add the consumer key and consumer secret key in Strings.xml file - Create an oAuth service by providing consumer key and consumer secret key to request oAuth token for authorization.
- Create an oAuth request with request method:
? For GET method:
? For POST method:
final Object being the JSONOBJECT with all required parameter values to post to API.
- Send scribe signed requests based on the async http client method to construct a signed request for oAuth service. And send the request to server.
Get Products From Woocommerce Store:
- Call the products API and pass category IDs in the URL, it will list all products of a category. It might be possible that a category has subcategories in it, in that case, pass all subcategories with the URL and all products for all subcategories mentioned in the URL will be listed
- In product response each product will have a categories array, will list categories under which the product lies, get the category name or category ID and filter products on subcategory IDs. Suppose Category 1 has three subcategories then pass all three subcategory IDs in products API.
http://your_wordpress_site/wordpress/wp-json/wc/v2/products/?category=26,27,28
Product response will have categories array:
[php]
“categories”: [
{
“id”: 26,
“name”: “Subcategory”,
“slug”: “subcategory”
}
],
[/php]
While displaying subcategory with its products, filter this list based on current subcategory we are displaying.
