Just downloaded the Facebook Album hotfix where you get an extra Facebook tab within Albums to look into your FB friends album as if they where on your phone. Works nice and neat....!!!
Is this possible for Picasa..?? So you would get an extra Picasa tab (just like the FB one) so you can look into your own and your friends album..!! That'll be cool cause I can show everyone in an easy way my Picasa pictures..
Thanks in advance..!!

Highly unlikely seeing as how the Facebook Plugin is directly tied to the Facebook Engine package and Social Networks Engine. Neither of which are designed to support Picasa.

Today I was playing with Picasa albums on the Android gallery and was curious if there are Facebook APIs that would allow the gallery to display facebook albums similar to how they display Picasa albums. (run on sentence?)
I recall reading in the past that facebook opened up APIs for displaying photo albums outside of FB, but I was not sure if anyone has thought of adding this functionaliy.
If it is not possible to add to Gallery, is there another photo program besides the built in FB app that will pull FB photos?
The new MyTouch Slide does this.
I'm not a dev or anything, so I couldn't tell you how it's done though.

It's there already in Sense. Get an Android made by HTC all you'll be able to do it. It's cool!
I'm considering (if I can find a little time) to extend the gallery app to allow it to be extended to support additional sources of networked albums. Gallery uses android data sources to get the images to and has a class which concatenates two data sources, one for local files, the other for picasa. Extending this to concatenate any number of providers and querying the android system for them would allow this to be extensible.
My goal is to add support for gallery3 (gallery.menalto.com), but facebook, flikr or any other photo service with a suitable API could be added.

Great! I'll PM you if I ever get around to working on it and have something usable for you to test.
I did look into it a little bit more and it looks like things are not abstracted quite as well as I had originally thought, which means its a lot more work.
There was an app for the G1 (at least that was how it was labelled, worked fine on my Magic) that worked on Gallery2. Since Gallery3 is a re-write, I doubt it works anymore. I think I found it in the Market.

Thank you for pointing this out!! I had no idea! I freaking love this phone! If it could give bj's and make sandwiches I think I'd marry it. ;-)
I wanted to share a little trick I figured out today for creating a shared picasa photo album in your android gallery.
Many of you may already know that you can view your albums saved in Picasa Web Albums in the Android Gallery app. I believe this was added in 2.0 or 2.1.
My friend and I wanted to try having a spot where we both can upload wallpapers we find and have it show in the Gallery in Android. Picasa does have the ability to share your albums with friends and even gives them the ability to edit, add and remove. The problem is that this new feature in Picasa does not seem to have made its way into the Gallery App in Android.
I tried a couple apps in the market and they DO allow you to view your favorite albums in Picasa, but they have some drawbacks. Namely they auto resize the images (poorly) and they download the images to your phone. The downloading defeats the purpose of this as we wanted something "cloud" based.
I thought about using my secondary google account that I have registered in the phone. No go, as there is no option to sync Picasa as my primary does.
HOW TO MAKE IT WORK!
It turns out that Google account and Gmail based Google accounts ARE different.
1- create new Gmail account. (REMEMBER GOOGLE ACCOUNTS DO NOT WORK)
2- Sign into picasa with your new Gmail account
3- Add some photos to it.
4- on your android phone go to settings>accounts and sync> add account.
5- choose Google and add your new gmail account.
6- make sure that Picasa is the only radio box checked to sync.
Thats it your done. Go check your Gallery apps and you should see your new Picasa album. Go ahead and give this account to a friend that you want to share wallpaper with and enjoy.
hi was trying to achieve the above but cudn't. Does this still stand true as of now... I am on 2.2.2. Wanted to simply upload my camera photos to another picasa album which is shared with me with upload rights.
I figured out how to get high res contact photos.
First you need ICS
Have a google plus account and google plus on your phone
Create a folder on your computer called contact photos
Load all your contact pictures into this folder
Put this entire folder onto google+ picasa web albums
Have google+ picasa web albums synced to your phone with the google+ app
You should see in gallery an album called contact photos
Manually link all of your contacts to these photos
Now all of your contacts have high res photos! Its kind of time consuming but its finally a work around the stupid google blurry pictures. I have spent countless time googling a work around. I hope this helps everyone out!
They are working on it as we speak. Thanks for the feedback and suggestion, but personally I think I'll wait until I can manager higher resolution photos directly from GMail Contacts. Saves any future hassles
i hope they fix this!!! i hate low res contact pics.
It's not exactly a fix... but I've gotten many of my contact pictures in high res through Facebook and HaxSync. As long as you have them as a Facebook friend, you can at least see their face clearly with this
The only problem is, if you have to blast your contacts storage or switch phones for any reason, the pictures that get synced back down from Google are the low res versions, then you have to manually re-do the photos all over again. It's disappointing that Google has taken so long to fix what seems like a relatively simple issue.
The other suggestion from Google was to sync your G+ contacts to your phone, but most of the people I contact via text or phone aren't actually on G+, and most of the people I have as contacts in G+ I don't communicate with outside of professional social networks.

Manually choosing pictures for each contact is not a fix!
I have put together a tiny app that syncs the photos on the phone to picasa web thus preserving its quality. Of course you need to have choosen a high resolution photo on your phone.
This being probably my first post, I can't include a link so have a search of it on Google Play and if you found it useful, post the link yourself.
Search for "Contact Photo Sync" on Google Play (remember to include the double quote marks in your search).
I've also released the code under GPLv3. To get the code, search "contactphotosync" in github.
Hope this helps some of you
That is supercool!

^ THIS
THAT APP did a good job for ICS AOSP user,
which google failed to provide.. :good:
i personaly dont like another app solution,
which syncing it with FB photo.. even though it's HD.
FB photo profile sync just sucks big time..
i simply don't want my friends picture on my contact phone is just like:
Cat, Guitar, Car or natural scenery,
or maybe his / her picture but way too far from camera..
which s/he set as profile picture on FB.
that app really good, suits my need, which i can't found for months..

Hi all
I discovered this morning that when viewing album / photos through the stock gallery, under the "Share" menu, Picasa simply disappeared.
So, I can not send pictures to Picasa anymore.
Is this a known issue ?

I haven't done that for a long time, so I can't even tell if this function has been removed in 4.4 or 4.4.1 kitkat. The option to share to "photos" from the stock gallery is definitely not working, as nothing would happen when you select that option.
In the past I used an app called Picasa tools (an free app) to share photos to specific picasa folder.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=larry.zou.colorfullife
Thanks for your proposal
Anyway, I am nearly sure this option was there in 4.4 and vanished with 4.4.1... Too bad it was sooo convenient to be able to directly upload to the appropriate folder...
Hello, I'm looking for an app to upload photos (preferably automatically), but also allow others to upload to the same album. Ideally, the shared album would show up in their account as well so they don't have to go looking for it each time.
Facebook allows this, but I don't want to share on fb, I just want to share with a couple people. I really like Google photos, but the multiple contributor "feauture" is atrocious. It's not even a feature, it's more of a work around unless I'm missing something.
What do you guys think?
Thanks
