i´m trying to achieve a solution where the app ask if facebook.katana aka facebook app is installed in your android phone, if it is installed, check if the user is logged, and if it's logged send a picture with a text (better if it is to a folder), if the user is not logged go to the facebook.katana.LoginActivity and log him, after that make the procedure.
I have this working with a Web View, but i'm interested on how to do it using the app if possible, what i got so far is the uncompiled facebook.katana in this URL where i'm testing the activities:
http://xt720.ru/miui-trans/apk-decompiled/Facebook/smali/com/facebook/katana/
I also know that an image can be attached to that app, since can start the facebook app using this:
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,imageUri);
emailIntent.setType("image/png");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Whatever");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email using"));
This method would be great for an email, but as it says it creates a chooser, but i don't want to let that option open. So i tried something like:
Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");
intent.setClassName("com.facebook.katana", "com.facebook.katana.LoginActivity");
startActivity(intent);
Also you can use the ShareLinkActivity to add an extra to your intent like this:
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "http://www.google.com/");
The problem is that i don't see how to attach the image to the katana, neither, how to add it to a folder, or how to add it through an application, of course this is much easier via facebook API for android, but like i said that's already done, i want to make it with the facebook App, i have tried, attaching the Bundle to the app as a parcelable, with the usual way it is done in the API, but not luck, this is the snippet:
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putByteArray("picture", bitmapdata);
params.putString("title", url);
params.putString("message","Wathever message");
and try to send the params, also tried sending only the image, but not luck, maybe i'm not using the right class (see the uncopiled facebook.katana URL) or i´m attaching in a bad way the info, it should work somehow, cause it works for ACTION_SEND, so, anybody knows how to solve any of this problems:
Attach an image to the facebook.katana
Attach an image to the facebook.katana in a folder
Attach an image to the facebook.katana as an external app
Request the log status of the user to the facebook.katana (i think this would be automatically)
Attach the picture, title, message params to the facebook.katana.
Publish as the app that opens the facebook.katana (i.e. publishin with the WebView will show "published from X app"

Guys i need help i aam facing a very strange problem and I would like to hear your opinion i added a share button to share images.
I used
Intent intent = new Intent ();
intent.setType("image/png");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
startActivity (Intent.createChooser (intent,"Share Using...."));
and it is working perfectly except for one thing if i choose the picture to share then pressed the share button and choose to share via whatsapp or G+ the application loads and the post is created with the chosen image if i backpressed i go back to my app then if i try to share another image and choose whatsapp or g+ both keep showing the old image in the new post and here comes the strange part if i post or send the image the new image is sent to the receipent and not the old image shown in the post. .... any help would be appreciated by the way i have tried using all flags with the intent but the problem persists
You need to pass a new Intent every time you want to post a new value, or clear the current object for that matter.
Can you also elaborate on this one, i didn't quite get what you meant:
if i try to share any other image whatsapp and g+ keep showing the old image in the new post and here comes the strange part if i post or send the image the new image is sent to the receipent
In my android app i want to share a Link to my website using intent but i dont want it to be visible to other user
example i want to share "smoe website link"
But to user it should look like "Click me to see it".
I tried this but wasnt successfull it just shows the simple text and was not clickable
<string name="app_link">Click me!</string>
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra("PostID", postID);
intent.putExtra("UserID", userID);
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,activity.getString(R.string.app_link);
activity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share"));
Any help will be really appreciated.
What you want is not realistically possible right now.
EXTRA_TEXT must always be interpreted as plain text by the receiving app. You could try using EXTRA_HTML_TEXT which was added with API 16. But many apps don't support HTML and will simply use EXTRA_TEXT instead (or not show any text at all if you omit EXTRA_TEXT).
The problem is I have an article that want to share to other apps, and I want to let the user to choose which app to share to. What I want to share is basically:
the title of the article
the URL of the article
the article content as HTML
the URL with some extra text (such as 'http://foo.com/article share from #FooApp')
All of these fields are optional, but I want to share at least one of them.
Such as when share via SMS or twitter, I want to set the content to part 4. when share via Facebook, I want to set 1, 2, 3 together. And when share via email, I want to set subject as 1 and message as 4.
I know (correct me if I'm wrong) every target intent receiver has it's own logic to pick up the fields it needed. So I want to provide as much information as possible and I wrote the following code:
String message = article.getURL() + " #FooApp";
Intent intent = new Intent().setData(Uri.parse(article.getURL())
.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, article.getTitle())
.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message)
.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_HTML_TEXT, article.getHTML())
.putExtra("sms_body", message)
...
.setType(HTTP.PLAIN_TEXT_TYPE);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share to"));
But the problem is, it seems like a trick between setData, putExtra, setType.
For some apps appear in the chooser dialog, when I choose, the confirm share window (of that app) display nothing that I set to the intent. (for some other apps they just say failed to fetch resource)
For the putExtra part, when I add or remove some putExtra code, the target intent receivers diff a lot than I expected.
So the question is: am I doing it the wrong way? Are there some guideline for this problem?
What is the correct way to share an image and text to Facebook in android?
e.g. picture with pre-populated text.
I realise that this is not possible from the native Android share intent as described here. As it can only take an image or a link not both.
Also I have tried using the facebook-sdk-3.14 with:
FacebookDialog.ShareDialogBuilder
but I now realise this is for sharing links only.
I have also tried with:
createShareDialogBuilderForPhoto()
but this is for sharing images only.
Is there something I am missing in the sdk? I am guessing it is not possible from FacebookDialog?
Will I need to go the route of creating my own app in facebook and my own open graph action? Ideally I am looking to not have a login button.
I have also seen similar questions but most are about the share intent or if it is the sdk it at least a year out of date and the solution is some thing similar to this:
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("message", category_item_name_desc.getText().toString());
parameters.putString("picture", categoryItemsModel.getImageUrl());
parameters.putString("caption", txtDescription_desc.getText().toString());
facebook.request("/me/feed", parameters, "POST");
Tried it through the Feed Dialog (WebDialog) but im getting a "error (#324) requires upload file", Any help would be great.
You can share your image on facebook, Twitter, and Gmail:
Bitmap b =BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.ic_launcher);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType(“image/jpeg”);
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), b, “Title”, null);
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(path);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, “Select”));
Was able to do this my self with the current Facebook SDK (3.14.1 at the time) with no login and I made it into a share intent for adding to the chooser list.
I have a demo project at https://github.com/b099l3/FacebookImageShareIntent only dependency is the facebook sdk and it is contained in one activity.
Please take a look a look on my library: https://github.com/antonkrasov/AndroidSocialNetworks
With help of it, posting is really easy:
mSocialNetworkManager.getFacebookSocialNetwork().postMessage(String message)
mSocialNetworkManager.getFacebookSocialNetwork().postPhoto(File path...)
hi everybody i've a little problem..i'm trying to share a text using google plus app, but the lastest version give me a problem.
when i call with an intent "com.google.android.apps.plus", android display me this dialog
so if i choose the first one, text will be shared correctly, but the second one do nothing.
if the app is not intalled i redirect the user to the market, at g+ download page (this work fine)
if (v == plus) {
social(2);
targetedShareIntent.putExtra(
android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, user);
targetedShareIntent
.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.plus");
startActivity(targetedShareIntent);
}
"v" is a button and social check if app is installed
any sugestion?
both options open google+ application?
I suppose show two options because google+ app have two activities with category.LAUNCHER.... the app and the chat app
PSDT: sorry for my bad english!
I was able to get the G+ dialog to launch with the following code (after querying the package manager to make sure the app was actually installed and passing in the currentContext as a parameter):
Intent appIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
String shareText = "Share text goes here";
appIntent.setType("text/plain");
appIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareText);
//Filters so only the G+ app will launch
appIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.plus");
try {
currentContext.startActivity(appIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Log.d(e.getMessage());
}
Drove me bananas figuring this out, so I figured I'd try to save someone else the hassle.
