Facebook Share in ios.Xamarin - facebook

Question

I'm trying to implement the Facebook share functionality in my little xamarin iOS app. I've already downloaded the latest version of Facebook iOS SDK from nuget, but I don't know how to use it. Is there anyone who has done that already , so he can send me some normal info on that ?
Much appreciated before hands :)

I have implemented share for twitter and fb .
iOS version
you can share using native social services from ios and if not available use
OAuth2Authenticator to get access token then post using FB graph
public void ShareViaSocial(string serviceType, string urlToShare)
{
socialKind = serviceType == "Twitter" ? SLServiceKind.Twitter : SLServiceKind.Facebook;
if (SLComposeViewController.IsAvailable(socialKind))
{
_socialComposer = serviceType == "Twitter" ? SLComposeViewController.FromService(SLServiceType.Twitter) : SLComposeViewController.FromService(SLServiceType.Facebook);
_socialComposer.AddUrl(new Uri(urlToShare));
viewController.PresentViewController(_socialComposer, true, () =>
{
_socialComposer.CompletionHandler += (result) =>
{
Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
{
viewController.DismissViewController(true, null);
if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResult.Done)
{ OnShare(this, ShareStatus.Successful); }
else
{ OnShare(this, ShareStatus.NotSuccessful); }
});
};
});
}
//If user doest have fb app and no credential for social services we use fb graph
else if (socialKind == SLServiceKind.Facebook)
{
var auth = new OAuth2Authenticator(
clientId: SharedConstants.FacebookLiveClientId,
scope: SharedConstants.FacebookScopes,
authorizeUrl: new Uri(SharedConstants.FacebookAuthorizeUrl),
redirectUrl: new Uri(SharedConstants.FacebookRedirectUrl));
viewController.PresentViewController((UIViewController)auth.GetUI(), true, null);
auth.AllowCancel = true;
auth.Completed += (s, e) =>
{
//hide the webpage after completed login
viewController.DismissViewController(true, null);
// We presented the UI, so it's up to us to dimiss it on iOS.
if (e.IsAuthenticated)
{
Account fbAccount = e.Account;
Dictionary<string, string> dictionaryParameters = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "link", urlToShare } };
var requestUrl = new Uri("https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed");
var request = new OAuth2Request(SharedConstants.requestMethodPOST, requestUrl, dictionaryParameters, fbAccount);
request.GetResponseAsync().ContinueWith(this.requestResult);
}
else { OnShare(this, ShareStatus.NotSuccessful); }
};
auth.Error += Auth_Error;
}
//If user doest have twitter app and no credential for social services we use xanarub auth for token and call twitter api for sending tweets
else
{
var auth = new OAuth1Authenticator(
SharedConstants.TwitterConsumerKey,
SharedConstants.TwitterConsumerSecret,
new Uri(SharedConstants.TwitterRequestUrl),
new Uri(SharedConstants.TwitterAuth),
new Uri(SharedConstants.TwitterAccessToken),
new Uri(SharedConstants.TwitterCallBackUrl));
auth.AllowCancel = true;
// auth.ShowUIErrors = false;
// If authorization succeeds or is canceled, .Completed will be fired.
auth.Completed += (s, e) =>
{
// We presented the UI, so it's up to us to dismiss it.
viewController.DismissViewController(true, null);
if (e.IsAuthenticated)
{
Account twitterAccount = e.Account;
Dictionary<string, string> dictionaryParameters = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "status", urlToShare } };
var request = new OAuth1Request(SharedConstants.requestMethodPOST, new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json"), dictionaryParameters, twitterAccount);
//for testing var request = new OAuth1Request("GET",new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account/verify_credentials.json "),null, twitterAccount);
request.GetResponseAsync().ContinueWith(this.requestResult);
}
else { OnShare(this, ShareStatus.NotSuccessful); }
};
auth.Error += Auth_Error;
//auth.IsUsingNativeUI = true;
viewController.PresentViewController((UIViewController)auth.GetUI(), true, null);
}
