Is it possible that I place a like button on my android app clicking which likes a post which is publicly available on facebook? I do not want any additional windows to open for the task except may be for first time authentication.
All questions asked so far are related to opening a new window.
It is possible. You can perform a Like Action using Facebook's Open Graph API. In order to do so, you need to meet certain conditions:
The viewer of the in-app content is a Facebook user who has Facebook-authed and granted the app publish_actions permission
The in-app content has an Open Graph object page that is properly marked-up using Open Graph metatags
The viewer has intentionally clicked on a custom in-app “like button” associated with the in-app content
Steps at a high-level:
You need to first get the user's active Session (com.facebook.Session).
Session session = Session.getActiveSession();
Then you need to ensure that the user has the publish_actions permission. If not, request them.
List<String> requestedPermissions = Arrays.asList("publish_actions");
List<String> currentPermissions = session.getPermissions();
if (!currentPermissions.containsAll(requestedPermissions)) {
Session.NewPermissionsRequest newPermissionsRequest = new Session.NewPermissionsRequest(this, requestedPermissions);
session.requestNewPublishPermissions(newPermissionsRequest);
}
Finally, send your request to "me/og.likes". Your request should include your Session, a Bundle including the Graph object you want to like, the HTTP method, and a callback that will execute once you receive a response.
Bundle postParams = new Bundle();
postParams.putString("object", myGraphObject);
Request request = new Request(session, "me/og.likes", postParams, HttpMethod.POST, myCallback);
RequestAsyncTask task = new RequestAsyncTask(request);
task.execute();
You want to perform these steps in your button's OnClickListener.
Hope this helps!

Accessing Facebook Graph API without login
(2 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I copied the code below from Facebook Graph Api console. However, Android Studio doesn't recognize accessToken.
I have alread created a Facebook App and I got its acesstoken. But I don't know where to add it in the code. If I just copy and paste. It shows this error
If I use AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken() method, it will show this error:
errorMessage: An access token is required to request this resource
Here is my code:
GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newGraphPathRequest(
accessToken,
"/ibm/events",
new GraphRequest.Callback() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
Log.d(TAG, "onCompleted: " + response.toString());
}});
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("fields", "name,cover,start_time,end_time,place,description");
parameters.putString("limit", "3");
request.setParameters(parameters);
request.executeAsync();
}
Firstly :
Make a Facebook app with these simple steps I have written below:
Go to Developer tab and click on it.
Then go to Website Option.
Enter the app name which you have want.
Click on Create Facebook App.
After this you have to choose category, you can choose App for Pages.
Your AppId and Appkey is created automatically. The AppSecretKey is obfuscated. You can click on the show button to see your AppId and AppSecurityKey.
Then Check this link to generate access token
1.Copy and Paste Your App ID & Your App Secret into the generator below. You can get your App ID & your App Secret by clicking on the Apps main menu option and then choosing your newely created App.
Next click the Tools Menu and then choose Graph API Exploer.
page1
On this page you will click the Graph API Explorer select option.
Then choose your Application from the list. In this example we'll use Custom Feed.
Now you click on the Get Access Token. This will show a Select Permissions popup as you will see next.
Next Click on the Extended Permissions menu option and click the checkbox read_stream and click Get Access Token. DO NOT CHECK read_stream if you are using our plugin to display a Page on facebook.
6.Then click the Okay button to continue.
Fetch Event IN Android : You have to download Android facebook sdk and put you access token there getCurrentAccessToken() in this method.
/* make the API call */
new GraphRequest(
AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(),
"/{event-id}",
null,
HttpMethod.GET,
new GraphRequest.Callback() {
public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
/* handle the result */
}
}
).executeAsync();

I want to be able to seamlessly publish to a users Facebook feed from the background in my Android application. The user is fully aware of the content they are publishing, but the post will be made after a relatively long upload process, so the user should not be made to wait. I am using the Android Facebook SDK v4.1.2.
I see that I need to request the "publish_actions" permission from the user beforehand:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.3#reference-publish_actions
I can use the LoginManager to get the access token:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/android/v2.3#access_profile
I am then not sure how to share a link to the users feed without using the ShareDialog:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/android
This SO question suggests using the Request object for v3.x, which is equivalent to the GraphRequest object for v4.x:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/android/current/class/GraphRequest/
but I am not sure how to build the correct GraphRequest. I assume I need to publish a message to "/me/feed":
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.3/user/feed
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
In writing the question I found my own solution from trawling the docs and examples. I need to publish a message to "/me/feed":
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.3/user/feed
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("link", link);
GraphRequest request = new GraphRequest(AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(),
"/me/feed", params, HttpMethod.POST,
new GraphRequest.Callback() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(GraphResponse graphResponse) {
}
});
request.executeAndWait();
After obtaining the "publish_actions" permission.
You should use the ShareApi class if you don't want to build the params bundle yourself.
Build a ShareLinkContent as you normally would:
ShareLinkContent content = new ShareLinkContent.Builder()
.setContentUrl(Uri.parse("https://your.url.com"))
.build();
Then call ShareApi:
ShareApi.share(content, new FacebookCallback<Sharer.Result>() {...});
I know this question has been asked so many times.
In my app I also want to integrate Facebook like button,after doing lots of R&D I came across the below link
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/action-type/og.likes
and I am using the below code in my app,
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("object", "http://samples.ogp.me/226075010839791");
Request request = new Request(
Session.getActiveSession(),
"me/og.likes",
params,
HttpMethod.POST
);
Response response = request.executeAndWait();
// handle the response
but when I click the like button nothing is happening.
Could you all please guide me how to use the above code.
One more thing an extra permission is needed for implementing the above code "Permission: publish_actions".How to get this permission?
First open session with publish permission using this
I am posting a photo to FB using the new FB Android SDK 3.0. I am now looking for a way to set some more parameters than just the image itself and a simple text. I tried tons of different parameters, but non of them seem to do something.
What i would like to do is to add a link, an icon and, if somehow possible, a custom link item next to the Like and Comment links.
Here is an example of the icon and the custom link item from twitter:
And this is the code that I am currently using:
byte[] data = get binary image data;
Bundle postParams = new Bundle();
postParams.putString("name", "Image text");
postParams.putByteArray("picture", data);
// All these parameters do nothing...
postParams.putString("icon", "http://www.myimage.com/image.png");
postParams.putString("message", "XXX");
postParams.putString("caption", "Build great social apps and get more installs.");
postParams.putString("description", "The Facebook SDK for Android makes it easier and faster to develop Facebook integrated Android apps.");
postParams.putString("link", "https://developers.facebook.com/android");
Request request = new Request(Session.getActiveSession(), "me/photos", postParams, HttpMethod.POST);
Response r = request.executeAndWait();
The post looks like this:
1. Adding the icon
You can manage icons from your app's dashboard: https://developers.facebook.com/apps/APP_ID/appdetails
2. Adding an action link
What you can a "custom link" is in fact an "action".
The "action" you've seen on the Twitter's post has been done using the actions array from the Post table:
A list of available actions on the post (including commenting, liking,
and an optional app-specified action)
So, your only choice if you really want to add this action near Like · Comment is to create a Post into the Feed and not a Photo.
Here is an a priori working code:
postParams.putString("message", "XXX");
postParams.putString("caption", "developers.facebook.com");
postParams.putString("description", "A tool to help you learn and browse the Facebook Graph API.");
postParams.putString("actions", "[{
'name':'Test a simple Graph API call!',
'link':'https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&path=me'
/* ^ This link must direct to the application's connect or canvas URL.
You'll get an error otherwise. */
}]"
);
postParams.putString("type", "photo");
postParams.putString("link", "https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/");
postParams.putString("picture", "http://blog.programmableweb.com/wp-content/ishot-44.png");
Request request = new Request(Session.getActiveSession(), "me/feed", postParams, HttpMethod.POST);
3. Test in the Graph API Explorer
4. Timeline preview
I would like to post a message on the wall
this line works:
mFacebook.dialog(FacebookActivity.this, "post", new SampleDialogListener());
But i would like to post a message without open a dialog i tried this but get error which says mFacebook.request parameter mismatch
response = mFacebook.request("me/feed", parameters, "POST");
To post to a wall without a dialog you have to use the graph-api. Perform a feed post onto/with the userId of the target. To perform the Post you will have to need the publish_stream permission of the user. The returned accessToken of the permission-request has to be one of the post-parameters.
String response = mFacebook.request(Id+"/feed",bundle,HTTP_METHOD_POST);
But you have to check login before calling this method.Because it cannot check for login.
the code to login and it is single sign on.
mFacebook.authorize(this, PERMISSIONS, Facebook.FORCE_DIALOG_AUTH, new ABCDialogListener());
and code to check session valid or not by
mFacebook.isSessionValid() method
