## Preperations
First you need to download the latest .jar from the Release site [here](https://github.com/rubenlagus/TelegramBots/releases). You can choose between Jar dependencies and wthout. If you don't know what to choose, we recommend to download the full jar with all dependencies ;)

Next, you need to integrate it into your project.
Create a new project for your bot, in the example below we are showing you how to do it in eclipse. But of course, you are free to code in whatever IDE you want ;)
If you don't know how to include a external .jar into your Eclipse project, maybe [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWnfHkBgO1I) video is helpfull for you

Due to the fact that the TelegramLongPollingBot is a little bit less complicated than the others, we are going to work with him in this example.

The first two methods are really easy to implement. Just create a new class that contains all the information for the bot (username, token and maybe in the future some database information)
At the end it could look like this:
```java
public class BotConfig {
public static final String BOT_USERNAME = "echoBot";
public static final String BOT_TOKEN = "{you secret bot token you got from the BotFather}";
public static final String BOT_TOKEN = "{you secret bot token that you got from BotFather}";
}
```
After it, return these static variables like this one:
```java
@Override
public String getBotToken() {
public String getBotToken() {
return BotConfig.BOT_TOKEN;
}
}
```
The last method could look like this:
```java
@Override
public void onUpdateReceived(Update update) {
public void onUpdateReceived(Update update) {
//check if the update has a message
if(update.hasMessage()){

sendMessageRequest.setChatId(message.getChatId().toString()); //who should get the message? the sender from which we got the message...

sendMessageRequest.setText("you said: " + message.getText());
try {
sendMessage(sendMessageRequest); //at the end, so some magic and send the message ;)

The princip is rather easy, we have an ```update```, we see that it contains a text -> we create a Send*** object, fill it up with all necessary infos (user/chatId, text) and fire it up

This method uploads the photo every time the user send the bot /wiki. Telegram stores the files we upload on their server. And if next time someone wants to retrieve THE SAME photo we uploaded some time ago, you should use instead of SendPhoto.setNewPhoto() the SendPhoto.setPhoto() method. This method has just one parameter, file_id.
