All it takes is just 3 steps and you will have it implemented.

Step 1: Find your user id.

The easiest way is to use this service http://idgettr.com/

Step 2: Acquire you flickr api key

Just log-in to you account and click this link http://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.api_keys.html

Step 3: Get the code from the example project from our blog

http://www.quintostdio.com/blog/archives/1117

Add you user id and api key on the FlickrActivity class (in the package com.quintostdio.test.flickr.ui) and run the example. You can copy paste the classes and add it to your project, with no more changes and it will work.
