Java quickstart for resellers
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Follow the steps in this quickstart guide, and in about 10 minutes you'll have
a simple Java command-line app that makes requests to the zero-touch
enrollment reseller API.
Prerequisites
To run this quickstart, you'll need:
- A Google account, that's a member of your zero-touch enrollment reseller
account. If you haven't onboarded yet, follow the steps in Get started in
the Reseller portal guide.
- Java 1.7 or greater.
- Gradle 2.3 or greater.
- Access to the internet and a web browser.
Step 1: Turn on the zero-touch enrollment API
- Use this
wizard to create or select a project in the Google Developers Console and
automatically turn on the API. Click Continue, then Go to credentials
.
- Set What data will you be accessing? to Application data.
- Click Next. You should be prompted to create a service
account.
- Give a descriptive name for Service account name.
- Note the Service account ID (it looks like an email address) because you'll
use it later.
- Set Role to Service Accounts > Service Account User.
- Click Done to finish creating the service account.
- Click the email address for the service account that you created.
- Click **Keys**.
- Click **Add key**, then click **Create new key**.
- For **Key type**, select **JSON**.
- Click Create and the private key downloads to your computer.
- Click **Close**.
- Move the file to your working directory and rename it
service_account_key.json
.
Step 2: Link the service account
- Open the zero-touch enrollment portal. You might need to sign in.
- Click settings_ethernet Service
accounts.
- Click add Link service account.
- Set Email address to the address of the service account you created.
- Click Link service account to use the service account with your zero-touch
enrollment account.
Step 3: Prepare the project
Follow the steps below to set up your Gradle project:
Run the following command to create a new project in the working directory:
gradle init --type basic
mkdir -p src/main/java src/main/resources
Copy the service_account_key.json
file you downloaded in Step 1 into the
src/main/resources/
directory you created above.
Open the default build.gradle
file and replace its contents with the
following code:
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'application'
mainClassName = 'ResellerQuickstart'
sourceCompatibility = 1.7
targetCompatibility = 1.7
version = '1.0'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client:1.30.11'
compile 'com.google.apis:google-api-services-androiddeviceprovisioning:+'
compile 'com.google.oauth-client:google-oauth-client-jetty:+'
}
Step 4: Set up the sample
Create a file named src/main/java/ResellerQuickstart.java
and copy in the
following code and save the file. Insert your own reseller partner
ID as the value for PARTNER_ID
(the app's first line).
import com.google.api.client.auth.oauth2.Credential;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleCredential;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.javanet.GoogleNetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.json.JsonFactory;
import com.google.api.client.json.jackson2.JacksonFactory;
import com.google.api.services.androiddeviceprovisioning.v1.AndroidProvisioningPartner;
import com.google.api.services.androiddeviceprovisioning.v1.model.Company;
import com.google.api.services.androiddeviceprovisioning.v1.model.ListCustomersResponse;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

AndroidProvisioningPartner service = getService();
// Send an API request to list all our customers.
AndroidProvisioningPartner.Partners.Customers.List request =
service.partners().customers().list(PARTNER_ID);
ListCustomersResponse response = request.execute();
// Print out the details of each customer.
if (response.getCustomers() != null) {
java.util.List<Company> customers = response.getCustomers();
for (Company customer : customers) {
System.out.format("Name:%s ID:%d\n",
customer.getCompanyName(),
customer.getCompanyId());
}
} else {
System.out.println("No customers found");
}
}
}
Partner ID
API calls typically need your reseller partner ID as an argument. To find your
partner ID from the zero-touch enrollment portal, follow the steps below:
- Open the portal. You might need to sign in.
- Click settings_ethernet Service
accounts.
- Copy your partner ID number from the Your reseller ID line.
Step 5: Run the sample
Use your operating system's help to run the script in the file. On UNIX and Mac
computers, run the command below in your terminal:
gradle -q run
