Usage

To create a new Instance of the LastfmWebServices simply do the following:

String apiKey = "yourapikey";
String apiSecret = "yourapisecret";
LastfmWebServices ws = new DefaultLastfmWebServices(apiKey, apiSecret);

To perform requests you can then use this instance:

List<User> getAllFriends(String userName, LastfmWebServices ws) throws LastfmWebServicesException {

  List<User> friends = new ArrayList<User>();
  PaginatedResult<List<User>> result = ws.fetch(User.getFriends(userName, null, null, 1));
  friends.addAll(result.getEntries());
  while (result.hasMorePages()) {
    result = ws.fetch(User.getFriends(userName, null, null, result.getNextPage()));
    friends.addAll(result.getEntries());
  }

  return friends;
}
