Good afternoon everybody. I'm following this tutorial:
http://www.androidwarriors.com/2015/11/twitter-login-android-studio-example.html
which has this associated GitHub project:
https://github.com/androidwarriors/TwitterLoginUsingFabric
Everything seems to be working, when I get to the lines:
String msg = "#" + session.getUserName() + " logged in! (#" + session.getUserId() + ")";
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), msg, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
TweetComposer.Builder builder = new TweetComposer.Builder(MainActivity.this).text("test tweet 789");
builder.show();
getUserData();
I am able to see the Toast confirming successful login and then apparently an implicit intent is started, the phone asks which browser I would prefer to use, then opens that browser with "test tweet 789" already entered and a button to send the tweet.
The concern is, I would like to directly send the tweet from my app, rather than bringing up a browser as a separate app to do so. Is there a way to do this? Seems like an easy question and it's probably only another line of code or two but I could not find a directly applicable example, please advise. Sorry if I'm missing something easy here.
For the record here is my entire onCreate method, mostly directly from the tutorial linked above.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TwitterAuthConfig authConfig = new TwitterAuthConfig(TWITTER_KEY, TWITTER_SECRET);
Fabric.with(this, new Twitter(authConfig));
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_username);
loginButton = (TwitterLoginButton) findViewById(R.id.twitter_login_button);
loginButton.setCallback(new Callback<TwitterSession>() {
#Override
public void success(Result<TwitterSession> result) {
// The TwitterSession is also available through:
// Twitter.getInstance().core.getSessionManager().getActiveSession()
Log.d("Twitter ", "Login sucessfull");
session = result.data;
String username = session.getUserName();
userid = session.getUserId();
textView.setText("Hi " + username);
TwitterAuthToken authToken = session.getAuthToken();
String token = authToken.token;
String secret = authToken.secret;
// TODO: Remove toast and use the TwitterSession's userID
// with your app's user model
String msg = "#" + session.getUserName() + " logged in! (#" + session.getUserId() + ")";
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), msg, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
TweetComposer.Builder builder = new TweetComposer.Builder(MainActivity.this).text("test tweet 789");
builder.show();
getUserData();
}
#Override
public void failure(TwitterException exception) {
Log.d("TwitterKit", "Login with Twitter failure", exception);
}
});
}
Silently posting tweets doesn't seem to be part of Fabric's SDK. You may want to look at their REST API.
In an Android App I have the following code:
private void requestDataFromFb() {
Callback callback = new Callback() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(Response response) {
AppLog.Log(TAG, "Facebook Response ::" + response + "");
Utility.closeprocess(Login.this);
loadImage(response);
}
};
String graphPath = "me";
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("fields",
"id,picture.height(250),gender,first_name,last_name,age_range");
Request mRequest = new Request(Session.getActiveSession(), graphPath,
bundle, HttpMethod.GET, callback);
RequestAsyncTask task = Request.executeBatchAsync(mRequest);
if (task == null) {
AppLog.Log(TAG, "task is null");
} else {
AppLog.Log(TAG, task.getStatus() + "");
}
}
It's been working fine and I am getting the paths to the user's profile picture. However, after some time the paths don't work anymore. One cannot see the picture of the first users. When I enter the URL in my browser I get:
An error occurred while processing your request.
Reference #50.3d1431b5.1424197137.a584ec67
And when using the Graph API Explorer of Facebook I get a different URL for the picture.
I do not know if that has something to do with the fact that the user has changed their profile picture or something else, and how I could solve this issue.
Any advise or guidance would be greatly appreciated
GOAL
In my camera app i want to let user share a picture with pre-formatted text and a description on the user's facebook wall.
INTRO
I Googled a lot and followed "the terrific" facebook-getting-started, trying many things, for !!days!!... no completely working solutions found yet.
At least i think i got some points:
The great Android Intent action_send works great but not choosing facebook, that works for text OR for pictures, not for both (!!), see here
applicationID, hashxxx, and everything else needed to link android app to facebook login, all things that i really don't understand and don't want to, done and at last working (thanx facebook for all this sh*t!!)
share with facebook can be done (see here):
3a. using the facebook app (installed in the device)
3b. using a login session (if facebook app is not installed)
Facebook wants us to use its SDK, it's very [b|s]ad, but i can stand it.
case 3a - facebook suggests us to use the shareDialog, and -fighting a lot with code snippets and samples suggested!- i have been able to do it, but i need it to work also if facebook app is not installed (case 3b.)
case 3b - facebook suggests to use the "ugly" feedDialog as a fallback (see here).
6a. feedDialog needs login and it's ok...
6b. it seems feedDialog cannot share local images, i really don't understand why... here facebook guide talks only about "URL" for the "picture" keyword...
5c. then i think i must use Request, i tried implementing it but nothing happened, i think i'm missing something... No useful references (=working examples) found.
CODE SNIPPETS copy/paste/edit from SO and developers.facebook
ShareDialog and session management in case facebook app is not installed IT'S WORKING
/**
* share image with facebook, using facebook sdk
* #param pathToImage
*/
private void shareWithFacebook(String pathToImage) {
Log.i("SHARE", "share with facebook");
if (FacebookDialog.canPresentShareDialog(getApplicationContext(), FacebookDialog.ShareDialogFeature.SHARE_DIALOG)) {
// Publish the post using the Share Dialog
Log.i("SHARE", "share with ShareDialog");
FacebookDialog shareDialog = new FacebookDialog.ShareDialogBuilder(this)
.setCaption("Sharing photo taken with MyApp.")
.setName("Snail Camera Photo")
.setPicture("file://"+pathToImage)
.setLink("http://myapplink")
.setDescription("Image taken with MyApp for Android")
.build();
uiHelper.trackPendingDialogCall(shareDialog.present());
} else {
// maybe no facebook app installed, trying an alternative
// here i think i need a session
if (Session.getActiveSession() != null && Session.getActiveSession().isOpened()) {
publishFeedDialog(pathToImage);
} else {
Session session = Session.getActiveSession();
if (!session.isOpened() && !session.isClosed()) {
List<String> permissions = new ArrayList<String>();
permissions.add("publish_actions");
session.openForRead(new Session.OpenRequest(this)
.setPermissions(permissions)
.setCallback(mFacebookCallback));
} else {
Session.openActiveSession(this, true, mFacebookCallback);
}
}
}
}
private Session.StatusCallback mFacebookCallback = new Session.StatusCallback() {
public void call(final Session session, final SessionState state, final Exception exception) {
if (state.isOpened()) {
String facebookToken = session.getAccessToken();
Log.i("SHARE", facebookToken);
Request.newMeRequest(session, new Request.GraphUserCallback() {
public void onCompleted(GraphUser user, com.facebook.Response response) {
publishFeedDialog(MP.LAST_TAKEN_FOR_GALLERY);
}
}).executeAsync();
}
}
};
feedDialog snippet, works for text fields, links, and remote url, but DOESN'T WORK FOR LOCAL PICTURES using "file://..." nor "file:///...". Error message: picture URL is not properly formatted.
private void publishFeedDialog(String pathToImage) {
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("name", "myapp Photo");
params.putString("caption", "Sharing photo taken with myapp.");
params.putString("description", "Image taken with myapp for Android");
params.putString("link", "http://myapp.at.playstore");
params.putString("picture", "file://"+pathToImage);
WebDialog feedDialog = (
new WebDialog.FeedDialogBuilder(EnhancedCameraPreviewActivity.this,//getApplicationContext(),
Session.getActiveSession(),
params))
.setOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener() {
public void onComplete(Bundle values,
FacebookException error) {
Log.i("SHARE", "feedDialog.onComplete");
if (error == null) {
// story is posted
final String postId = values.getString("post_id");
if (postId != null) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Posted story, id: "+postId,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
// User clicked the Cancel button
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Publish cancelled",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
} else if (error instanceof FacebookOperationCanceledException) {
// User clicked the "x" button
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Publish cancelled",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
// Generic, ex: network error
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Error posting story",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
})
.build();
feedDialog.show();
}
Another try, using Request, it says:
photo upload problem. Error={HttpStatus: 403, errorCode: 200,
errorType: OAuthException, errorMessage: (#200) Requires extended
permission: publish_actions}
I tried adding publish_actions permission in the session management above, maybe i miss something...
private void publishFeedDialog(String pathToImage) {
Request request=Request.newPostOpenGraphObjectRequest(
Session.getActiveSession(),
"PhotoUpload",
"myApp Photo Upload",
"file://"+pathToImage,
"http://myapp.at.playstore",
"Image taken with myApp for Android",
null,
uploadPhotoRequestCallback);
request.executeAsync();
}
Last try with Request, absolutely nothing happens, both with or without "picture" keyword.
private void publishFeedDialog(String pathToImage) {
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("message", "Image taken with myApp for Android");
parameters.putString("picture", "file://"+pathToImage);
parameters.putString("caption", "myApp Photo");
Request request = new Request(Session.getActiveSession(), "/me/feed", parameters, null);
// also tried: Request request = new Request(Session.getActiveSession(), "/me/feed", parameters, com.facebook.HttpMethod.POST);
request.executeAsync();
}
QUESTIONS
-1- Are there some faults in my 1..6 points?
-2- Can i share a local picture using FeedDialog?
-3- if not, how to when facebook app is not installed?
Thanks a lot!
I have the same problem, but I have a workaround.
I can't find any wrong reasoning in your point 1-6, look like the same issues I've come acrossed.
You can't share pictures locally, but...
Code snippet below:
This will upload the picture to the users profile and post it on his\hers wall, afterwhich you can get the URL if needed:
private void uploadPicture(final String message, Session session) {
Request.Callback uploadPhotoRequestCallback = new Request.Callback() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(com.facebook.Response response) {
if (response.getError() != null) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Failed posting on the Wall", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return;
}
Object graphResponse = response.getGraphObject().getProperty("id");
if (graphResponse == null || !(graphResponse instanceof String) ||
TextUtils.isEmpty((String) graphResponse)) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Failed uploading the photo\no respons", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Succsefully posted on the facebook Wall", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
};
// Execute the request with the image and appropriate message
Request request = Request.newUploadPhotoRequest(session, profileBitmap, uploadPhotoRequestCallback);
Bundle params = request.getParameters();
params.putString("message", message);
request.executeAsync();
}
And to start facebook login when you don't have the APP, it's simpler, I use the following code snippet for calling the facebook SDK on facebook button:
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.faceBookButton:
if (((imagePath != null && !imagePath.equals("")) || (message != null && !message.equals("")))) {
Session session = Session.getActiveSession();
if (!session.isOpened() && !session.isClosed()) {
session.openForPublish(new Session.OpenRequest(this)
.setPermissions(Arrays.asList("public_profile", "publish_actions"))
.setCallback(statusCallback));
} else {
if (profileBitmap != null) {
uploadPicture(message, session);
} else {
publishFeedDialog(message);
}
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), getString(R.string.checkin_fail), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
break;
}
}
In my case publishFeedDialog accepts the message you want to pass on, and not the image, but it doesn't matter. It opens up Facebook's message dialog anyway to which I haven't yet found a way to pass a predefined message from my EditText widget.
I am trying to integrate Facebook API for login functionality in android. I need email Id for respective user. I am getting JSON in response but It has no email Id.How can I achieve to get the email Id.
public void getProfileInformation() {
mAsyncRunner.request("me", new RequestListener() {
#Override
public void onComplete(String response, Object state) {
Log.d("Profile", response);
String json = response;
try {
// Facebook Profile JSON data
JSONObject profile = new JSONObject(json);
// getting name of the user
final String name = profile.getString("name");
// getting email of the user
final String email = profile.getString("email");
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
// Dayanand plzz check this log n let me know.
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Name: " + name + "\nEmail: " + email, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Here is code, Where I am getting null in Toast. It goes to catch method.Please help
You have to ask for the permission : email from the user.
You need to ask for the email permission to the user, otherwise you can't get it.
Once the user grants you the permission, you'll see it when requesting for me.
See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/login/email-permissions/
When you first time login at that time you are passing one permission array. so, you have to pass this array for email permission..
private String[] permissions = {"publish_stream","email","user_about_me","user_status"};
I'm new to Facebook API on Android, and basically, what I'm trying to do is creating custom wall post for an application I'm developing.
Like when you listen a Shazam a song and you can share the result with your friends.
I believe I've got to create a custom attachment. Here's my code for setting the attachment:
mPostButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Bundle myParams = new Bundle();
String attachment="{\"name\":\"Gran Turismo 5\"," +
"\"href\":\"http://www.unknown.com/?lang=fr\"," +
"\"caption\":\"Sony Computer Entertainment\",\"description\":" +
"\"Une vidéo proposée par Cedemo.\",\"media\":" +
"[{\"type\":\"image\",\"src\":" +
"\"http://www.unknown.com/prepicture//thumb_title/15/15061_1.jpg\"," +
"\"href\":\"http://www.unknown.com/?lang=fr\"}],\"properties\":" +
"{\"Autre lien\":{\"text\":\"Cedemo\",\"href\":\"http://www.unknown.com\"}}}";
myParams.putString("attachment", URLEncoder.encode(attachment);
mFacebook.dialog(Option.this, "stream.publish",myParams,
new SampleDialogListener());
And then, later on:
public class SampleDialogListener extends BaseDialogListener {
public void onComplete(Bundle values) {
final String postId = values.getString("post_id");
if (postId != null) {
Log.d("Facebook-Example", "Dialog Success! post_id=" + postId);
mAsyncRunner.request(postId,values, new WallPostRequestListener());
} else {
Log.d("Facebook-Example", "No wall post made");
}
}
}
I didn't wrote the attachment String, It's just a test taken from another question made in this forum. Anyway, when I call myAsync.request, my app shows an error message, how am I supposed to pass the attachment to my dialog?
Hope I've been clear enough.
Are you sure you need to set custom parameters? It sounds like you can just want to post a Facebook message directly to the wall: you can do this by simply handing in the message parameter as a string -- you only need all that JSON if you want to attach an image etc. And note on facebook's page it says using this api call won't post a status update that others can see on their feed, it will just appear on their own wall. If you just want to post a message with a link you should just be able to use your mAsyncRunner (once you have your valid Facebook session) using this:
String message = "Post this to my wall";
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("message", message);
mAsyncRunner.request("me/feed", parameters, "POST", new WallPostRequestListener());
Also may help if you posted the error/response code you're getting from Facebook.
