Answer 1

Android Mobile SDK

LinkedIn API Documentation

Use official LinkedIn android mobile sdk.following codes will do the job for you for fetching detalis by using android mobile sdk

Constants.java

        public static final String HOST = "api.linkedin.com";
        public static final String FETCH_BASIC_INFO = "https://" + HOST + "/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,headline,location,industry)";
        public static final String FETCH_CONTACT_INFO = "https://" + HOST + "/v1/people/~:(num-connections,email-address,phone-numbers,main-address)";
        public static final String FETCH_PROFILE_PICTURE = "https://" + HOST + "/v1/people/~:(picture-urls::(original))";
        public static final String SHARE_POST = "https://" + HOST + "/v1/people/~/shares";

You can call the API's as follows after successfull login

APIHelper apiHelper = APIHelper.getInstance(MainActivity.this);

        apiHelper.getRequest(MainActivity.this, Constants.FETCH_BASIC_INFO, new ApiListener() {
            @Override
            public void onApiSuccess(ApiResponse s) {

                    String response = apiResponse.toString()



            }

            @Override
            public void onApiError(LIApiError error) {

               String errorCode= error.toString()


            }
        });

Do not forget to set client side permissions

/*Set LinkedIn permission for fetch info */
    private static Scope buildScope() {
        return Scope.build(Scope.R_BASICPROFILE, Scope.W_SHARE, Scope.R_EMAILADDRESS, Scope.R_CONTACTINFO);
    }

You can post to LinkedIn using following snippet

public void postRequest(String shareUrl, String shareJsonText) {
        APIHelper apiHelper = APIHelper.getInstance(context);
        apiHelper.postRequest(activity, shareUrl, shareJsonText, new ApiListener() {
            @Override
            public void onApiSuccess(ApiResponse apiResponse) {
                String response = apiResponse.toString()

            }

            @Override
            public void onApiError(LIApiError error) {
                 String errorCode= error.toString()
            }
        });
    }

Call the method

String shareJsonText = "{ \n" +
                        "   \"comment\":\"" + shareComment.getText() + " About our company : Codelynks is a provider of software solutions provider for leading companies round the globe. Codelynks is exclusively into helping the clients manage the ..." + "\"," +
                        "   \"visibility\":{ " +
                        "      \"code\":\"anyone\"" +
                        "   }," +
                        "   \"content\":{ " +
                        "      \"title\":\"Test Share Title\"," +
                        "      \"description\":\"Codelynks - Inspired Innovations\"," +
                        "      \"submitted-url\":\"http://www.codelynks.com/\"," +
                        "      \"submitted-image-url\":\"http://m3.licdn.com/media/p/3/000/124/1a6/089a29a.png\"" +
                        "   }" +
                        "}";


      postRequest(Constants.SHARE_POST, shareJsonText);
