I assume that means that parsing the full blockchain is the way to go.

So I assume that means that parsing the full blockchain is the way to go. I cannot rely on a third party.
Check out blockparser. The command would be something like blockparser tally <address>. Requires synced blockchain from original client, Ubuntu x86-64. There may be a way to query arbitrary addresses through the original client's RPC commands, too.
Would I be able to do this with a call from bitcoinj or would I need to add up transactions through the blockchain or what?
There is a service that might help, if you weren't aware of it:
- http://btcbalance.net
Also, via API:
- https://blockexplorer.com/q/addressbalance/
- http://blockchain.info/q/addressbalance/

I am looking to check an address to see if it is empty and if not empty, check to see how many bitcoins the address contains.
