## <a id="how_to_get_picture"></a>How to download photo? ##
|
|
|
|
To download a picture (or any other file), you will need the `file_path` of the file. Let start by finding the photo we want to download, the following method will extract the `PhotoSize` from a photo sent to the bot (in our case, we are taken the bigger size of those provided):
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public PhotoSize getPhoto(Update update) {
|
|
// Check that the update contains a message and the message has a photo
|
|
if (update.hasMessage() && update.getMessage().hasPhoto()) {
|
|
// When receiving a photo, you usually get different sizes of it
|
|
List<PhotoSize> photos = update.getMessage().getPhoto();
|
|
|
|
// We fetch the bigger photo
|
|
return photos.stream()
|
|
.sorted(Comparator.comparing(PhotoSize::getFileSize).reversed())
|
|
.findFirst()
|
|
.orElse(null);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Return null if not found
|
|
return null;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once we have the *photo* we have to options: The `file_path` is already present or we need to get it, the following method will handle both of them and return the final `file_path`:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public String getFilePath(PhotoSize photo) {
|
|
Objects.requireNonNull(photo);
|
|
|
|
if (photo.hasFilePath()) { // If the file_path is already present, we are done!
|
|
return photo.getFilePath();
|
|
} else { // If not, let find it
|
|
// We create a GetFile method and set the file_id from the photo
|
|
GetFile getFileMethod = new GetFile();
|
|
getFileMethod.setFileId(photo.getFileId());
|
|
try {
|
|
// We execute the method using AbsSender::execute method.
|
|
File file = execute(getFileMethod);
|
|
// We now have the file_path
|
|
return file.getFilePath();
|
|
} catch (TelegramApiException e) {
|
|
e.printStackTrace();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return null; // Just in case
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now that we have the `file_path` we can download it:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public java.io.File downloadPhotoByFilePath(String filePath) {
|
|
try {
|
|
// Download the file calling AbsSender::downloadFile method
|
|
return downloadFile(filePath);
|
|
} catch (TelegramApiException e) {
|
|
e.printStackTrace();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return null;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The returned `java.io.File` object will be your photo
|
|
|
|
## <a id="how_to_send_photos"></a>How to send photos? ##
|
|
|
|
There are several method to send a photo to an user using `sendPhoto` method: With a `file_id`, with an `url` or uploading the file. In this example, we assume that we already have the *chat_id* where we want to send the photo:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public void sendImageFromUrl(String url, String chatId) {
|
|
// Create send method
|
|
SendPhoto sendPhotoRequest = new SendPhoto();
|
|
// Set destination chat id
|
|
sendPhotoRequest.setChatId(chatId);
|
|
// Set the photo url as a simple photo
|
|
sendPhotoRequest.setPhoto(url);
|
|
try {
|
|
// Execute the method
|
|
execute(sendPhotoRequest);
|
|
} catch (TelegramApiException e) {
|
|
e.printStackTrace();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public void sendImageFromFileId(String fileId, String chatId) {
|
|
// Create send method
|
|
SendPhoto sendPhotoRequest = new SendPhoto();
|
|
// Set destination chat id
|
|
sendPhotoRequest.setChatId(chatId);
|
|
// Set the photo url as a simple photo
|
|
sendPhotoRequest.setPhoto(fileId);
|
|
try {
|
|
// Execute the method
|
|
execute(sendPhotoRequest);
|
|
} catch (TelegramApiException e) {
|
|
e.printStackTrace();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public void sendImageUploadingAFile(String filePath, String chatId) {
|
|
// Create send method
|
|
SendPhoto sendPhotoRequest = new SendPhoto();
|
|
// Set destination chat id
|
|
sendPhotoRequest.setChatId(chatId);
|
|
// Set the photo file as a new photo (You can also use InputStream with a method overload)
|
|
sendPhotoRequest.setNewPhoto(new File(filePath));
|
|
try {
|
|
// Execute the method
|
|
execute(sendPhotoRequest);
|
|
} catch (TelegramApiException e) {
|
|
e.printStackTrace();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```

## <a id="how_to_send_photos_file_id"></a>How to send photo by its file_id? ##
|
|
|
|
In this example we will check if user sends to bot a photo, if it is, get Photo's file_id and send this photo by file_id to user.
|
|
```java
|
|
// If it is a photo
|
|
if (update.hasMessage() && update.getMessage().hasPhoto()) {
|
|
// Array with photos
|
|
List<PhotoSize> photos = update.getMessage().getPhoto();
|
|
// Get largest photo's file_id
|
|
String f_id = photos.stream()
|
|
.sorted(Comparator.comparing(PhotoSize::getFileSize).reversed())
|
|
.findFirst()
|
|
.orElse(null).getFileId();
|
|
// Send photo by file_id we got before
|
|
SendPhoto msg = new SendPhoto()
|
|
.setChatId(update.getMessage().getChatId())
|
|
.setPhoto(f_id)
|
|
.setCaption("Photo");
|
|
try {
|
|
execute(msg); // Call method to send the photo
|
|
} catch (TelegramApiException e) {
|
|
e.printStackTrace();
|
|
}
|
|
}

## <a id="how_to_use_custom_keyboards"></a>How to use custom keyboards? ##
|
|
|
|
Custom keyboards can be appended to messages using the `setReplyMarkup`. In this example, we will build a simple [ReplyKeyboardMarkup](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#replykeyboardmarkup) with two rows and three buttons per row, but you can also use other types like [ReplyKeyboardHide](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#replykeyboardhide), [ForceReply](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#forcereply) or [InlineKeyboardMarkup](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#inlinekeyboardmarkup):
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public void sendCustomKeyboard(String chatId) {
|
|
SendMessage message = new SendMessage();
|
|
message.setChatId(chatId);
|
|
message.setText("Custom message text");
|
|
|
|
// Create ReplyKeyboardMarkup object
|
|
ReplyKeyboardMarkup keyboardMarkup = new ReplyKeyboardMarkup();
|
|
// Create the keyboard (list of keyboard rows)
|
|
List<KeyboardRow> keyboard = new ArrayList<>();
|
|
// Create a keyboard row
|
|
KeyboardRow row = new KeyboardRow();
|
|
// Set each button, you can also use KeyboardButton objects if you need something else than text
|
|
row.add("Row 1 Button 1");
|
|
row.add("Row 1 Button 2");
|
|
row.add("Row 1 Button 3");
|
|
// Add the first row to the keyboard
|
|
keyboard.add(row);
|
|
// Create another keyboard row
|
|
row = new KeyboardRow();
|
|
// Set each button for the second line
|
|
row.add("Row 2 Button 1");
|
|
row.add("Row 2 Button 2");
|
|
row.add("Row 2 Button 3");
|
|
// Add the second row to the keyboard
|
|
keyboard.add(row);
|
|
// Set the keyboard to the markup
|
|
keyboardMarkup.setKeyboard(keyboard);
|
|
// Add it to the message
|
|
message.setReplyMarkup(keyboardMarkup);
|
|
|
|
try {
|
|
// Send the message
|
|
execute(message);
|
|
} catch (TelegramApiException e) {
|
|
e.printStackTrace();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|

## <a id="how_to_host"></a>How can I run my bot? ##
|
|
|
|
You don't need to spend a lot of money into hosting your own telegram bot. Basically, there are two options around how to host:
|
|
|
|
1. Hosting on your own hardware. It can be a Mini-PC like a Raspberry Pi. The costs for the hardware (~35€) and annual costs for power (~7-8€) are low. Keep in mind that your internet connection might be limited and a Mini-Pc is not ideal for a large users base.
|
|
2. Run your bot in a Virtual Server/dedicated root server. There are many hosters out there that are providing cheap servers that fit your needs. The cheapest one should be openVZ-Containers or a KVM vServer. Example providers are [Hetzner](https://www.hetzner.de/ot/), [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/), (are providing systems that have a high availability but cost's a bit more) and [OVH](https://ovh.com)
|
|
For a deeper explanation for deploying your bot on DigitalOcean please see the [Lesson 5. Deploy your bot](https://monsterdeveloper.gitbooks.io/writing-telegram-bots-on-java/content/lesson-5.-deploy-your-bot.html) chapter in [MonsterDeveloper](https://github.com/MonsterDeveloper)'s book

## <a id="how_to_compile"></a>How can I compile my project? ##
|
|
|
|
This is just one way, how you can compile it (here with maven). The example below below is compiling the TelegramBotsExample repo.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## <a id="sendmessage_deprecated"></a>Method ```sendMessage()``` (or other) is deprecated, what should I do? ##
|
|
Please use ```execute()``` instead.
|
|
Example:
|
|
```java
|
|
SendMessage sn = new SendMessage();
|
|
//add chat id and text
|
|
execute(sn);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you extend ```TelegramLongPollingCommandBot```, then use ```AbsSender.execute()``` instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## <a id="example_webhook"></a>Is there any example for WebHook? ##
|
|
Please see the example Bot for https://telegram.me/SnowcrashBot in the [TelegramBotsExample]() repo and also an [example bot for Sping Boot](https://github.com/UnAfraid/SpringTelegramBot) from [UnAfraid](https://github.com/UnAfraid) [here](https://github.com/UnAfraid/SpringTelegramBot/blob/master/src/main/java/com/github/unafraid/spring/bot/TelegramWebhookBot.java)

## <a id="spring_boot_starter"></a>How to use spring boot starter ##
|
|
----------
|
|
Your main spring boot class should look like this:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
@SpringBootApplication
|
|
public class YourApplicationMainClass {
|
|
|
|
public static void main(String[] args) {
|
|
//Add this line to initialize bots context
|
|
ApiContextInitializer.init();
|
|
|
|
SpringApplication.run(MusicUploaderApplication.class, args);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After that your bot will look like:
|
|
```java
|
|
//Standard Spring component annotation
|
|
@Component
|
|
public class YourBotClassName extends TelegramLongPollingBot {
|
|
//Bot body.
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
Also you could just implement LongPollingBot or WebHookBot interfaces. All this bots will be registered in context and connected to Telegram api. |
