I'm developing (actually it's done, only the Facebook and Hyves shares are missing) Android mobile app that should share image to Face and Hyves.
There are couple of problems that I do not understand, so I need (urgent) help.
My idea was to save user/pass on device, and to check during the input if these details are correct. Then I wanted to somehow use API's to share image on the wall, preferably without any additional apps created, just share photo like you would share it from gallery.
Now I'm reading Facebook Developers guide, and it advises to create facebook app with domanin / e-mail, but this is not my app and I do not have authority to create anything in the name of third party.
So, what is the proper way to share photo to Social Networks, without creating "apps" and getting apps ID and stuff.
It seems that I can't find that kind of info on FB Developers page, and I'm afraid how will I get proper information for hyves (Dutch social network, and I do not speek dutch).

We are developing a photo-booth style app in Unity.
The app will be deployed on an Android device and placed into a public space like a shopping mall.
We would like to allow users to share their images on social media. Facebook / Instagram.
Having checked how the native share functionality works - it uses the account logged into the device to share. However, we would like the users to be able to share to their own social media accounts.
Is this possible? It seems like the built in share functionality on Android would not allow for this.
Would we have to use API to achieve this kind of function?
We had the idea to present them with a form to log into their Facebook / Instagram account to share content.
Once its shared - it would need to logout and not keep the login details.
Does anyone know if there is perhaps an Asset for Unity to do such a thing?
Thanks!
I am using TikTok SDK login from TikTok for developers portal. https://developers.tiktok.com in my mobile app. (We have registered and got the client_id and client_secret)
I am able to authenticate user from the SDK, but no user information is coming back from TikTok like username,firstname,unique_id,followers_count etc.
We can share the video directly to tiktok using SDK, but there is no user information available.
There is no much information available from TikTok on there Developer portal, Can anyone help me?
Thank you
I don't know if it's intentional, but it doesn't seem like Tik Tok has a very high priority on creating a robust API. Their IOS sdk seems to only have the ability to share videos to their platform, but not much else.
This repo may offer something for you (github.com/szdc/tiktok-api) but the documentation isn't very clear.
Tik Tok also doesn't have a very good web version, which is a smart move if they're trying to protect their data from devs like us who are trying to build on top of their platform.
I am currently sharing a link in my Android app by creating a chooser with an ACTION_SEND-Intent. I now want to add deep linking to the posts which already works with links from our iOS app into the Android app but not from links shared with the Android app. I think the reason is that by using an Intent, the app that actually posts the share is the Facebook app and not my own app.
So I probably have to use FacebookDialog to get this working, right?
If this is so, can I somehow still get the chooser? I still want the user to be able to select the service to share with.
I also know about App Links, does anyone know if using this would also solve the issue? Can links via App Links be referenced to the right app although they were shared with the Standard Facebook app?
The Facebook App Links documentation does not say much about sharing content from the app, only how to link from a website.
Since there's no app attribution available from a standard ACTION_SEND intent, Facebook will not know how to deep link into your app.
Using FacebookDialogs will give you app attribution, but will not address the chooser issue.
Using App Links is your best bet. It will tell Facebook how to deep link into your app (Facebook will scrape any link that is shared, so it will know about your App Links), and is a completely server side change, so you don't need to change any of your client code at all (assuming your client code already supports deep linking).
I am new to instagram concept. Is there any sdk available for to integrating instagram to our application. I want to share images to instagram through my application as like what i share to facebook from my application.
you cannot post images to instagram from other applications.
Here’s some text from the very bottom of:
http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/media/
At this time, uploading via the API is not possible. We made a conscious choice not to add this for the following reasons:
Instagram is about your life on the go – we hope to encourage photos from within the app. However, in the future we may give whitelist access to individual apps on a case by case basis.
We want to fight spam & low quality photos. Once we allow uploading from other sources, it's harder to control what comes into the Instagram ecosystem. All this being said, we're working on ways to ensure users have a consistent and high-quality experience on our platform.
There is no specific api to integrate instagram to Android application. But we can pass the intent in order to share the images if the device installed instagram.
I wish to drop pins or view the photo's which are of my interest in my Android Application, do we have any SDK by pinterest , as I would want to integrate the same inside my Android Application.
Any suggestions would be like a boon

This is for others who might want to get started with pinterest and land in this page.
It seems like the answer is "not yet"... But go and sign up with them, I'm sure it's on their radar and will come soon enough if it's in their basic FAQ.

Another option (or just for the meantime before they release an official API) may be if the official pinterest app offers an intent for sharing? Plenty of other social web entities like twitter, facebook, etc give intent based access in their official apps, that let you dump media, links, etc into them from other apps in the system, and have the information posted to your accounts.
