GiphyAPI

Welcome dbarth!

I see your code does successfully retrieve a random image, that is good. There are 3 steps needed to get the image:

1. Get the GIF URL.

That giphy_client client you are using, is made with Swagger, so, you can access the REST Response elements like any other object, or print them.

For example:

base64-stream doesn't have any function called encode(..).

There are two Classes Base64Encode, Base64Decode which are used to stream.

You can use pass your desired method which needs to be called as functional parameter, try below here fetchGifs accepts one method as parameter & in MainActivity we are passing adapter.setListData to it as parameter

Once the user input is extracted, you can put in into a variable...

Your API Link (copied here) is just searching for "funny cat". request.open('GET', 'http://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/search?q=funny+cat&api_key=dc6zaTOxFJmzC');

You can fix this by doing something like this...

var searchTerm = prompt('Add your search term here'); searchTerm = searchTerm.trim().replace(/ /g, "+"); // adds a + wherever a space is request.open('GET', 'http://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/search?q=' + searchTerm + '&api_key=dc6zaTOxFJmzC');

Since, I'm not sure if you pasted all of the all the code you are using, I only demoed how you can substitute a phrase like funny+cat into a variable called searchTerm.

In order to pull the user's input out of the field, you use jQuery and then pass it into your search term variable.

Oddly enough, I've done a project with the Giphy API.

So the problem is you are not using the correct object path through the return data:
