I'm busy writing an application to run on an android device. How can I get a list of friends that have shared their google latitude location information with me?

I have found an example using the public location badge, but this means that the friend has to make their location visible to everyone, and I don't want them to have to do this. Is there any other solution?

There's a REST API available at http://code.google.com/apis/latitude

Here's some sample code from Google, using with their Google APIs java wrapper: http://samples.google-api-java-client.googlecode.com/hg/latitude-json-oauth-sample/instructions.html?r=default

  • I've gone through the examples and the API documentation and it seems that you can only get your own information, not that of your friends. This is why I was wondering if it is possible to get your friends' information. – Rachel Jun 08 '11 at 12:24

I found this link which is the feature request for being able to see the location of friends without having to use their public badge. And this is the link for why it's a 'wont fix'.
