I have an android app that already have a Facebook login using the Facebook SDK.
Now, I would like to take the already logged-in user and create a ParseUser for it.
I tried a few approaches and failed with each and every one of them (like become and linkace).
Can you please help out? I couldn't find anything in the docs too. it was always referring to the case when I'll use Parse's Facebook login avtivity...
Thanks,
Nimrod
OK, After a while digging in... I'm pretty sure it's not possible.
I suggest the Parse team to add this feature as it will make existing apps migration to Parse easier.

I have done much searching but not able to find a solution.
Trying to get my Twitter to Facebook feed setup but getting this error:
"Facebook reported an error. The error has been reported to our engineering team. Please try again as it might be a temporary problem"
From what I can gather it may have something to do with an old account that has been deleted, but I have no idea how to resolve this and nor do a lot of other people.
First up: this is not a programming question since it's not related to the Twitter API but to the Twitter interface. Therefore, it's actually to be regarded as "Off-Topic".
To give you a helping hand nevertheless:
What you are describing is a known bug Twitter bug. Check https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=110412992466716 and https://dev.twitter.com/issues/998
The problem comes up when your Twitter account was previously connected to another Facebook account that you deleted/deactivated without removing the Twitter app first. Now that you try to connect to a new Facebook account, Twitter still tries to authorize using the old credentials of that other account.
Currently, your only hope is to ask Twitter to manually remove the old account credentials from your Twitter profile's backend. From what I've been reading, Twitter frequently fails being cooperative in that point... you can only ask and hope someone at Twitter is able and willing to manually correct their bug.
Im new to facebook app development. But i manage to get facebook login on my site.
No i wish to show feedback of my site (new entrys) and pass it to app counter.
(span .count uiSideNavCount) on facebook. Im searching for any info about it but can't find anything about that topic. Any help, info, documents maybe a tutorial will be very appriciated.

This is what i was searching for.
That link is bad: [#10171] You do not have permission to view this attachment.
Do you absolutely need to use a third-party API, or can you use one of the free Facebook APIs? If so, you can do a simple login here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/login/
I've been trying to get this to work for a while, but I've apparently missed something.
All I want is to have the latest 3 or so posts from my clients Facebook page to populate and animate in a screensaver that I am building using Flash (AS3).
So far, every time I try to bring anything in, it requires a complete oAuth login and account link, but it's only a one way exchange (read-only, absolutely no writing, posting or even linking, since it's a screensaver) I'm not even sure the client wants pictures or anything.
I am currently trying to use the facebook-actionscript-api, but there isn't an option for the "App Login" type of Authentication that would solve most of my problems.
I'm at wits end and about to have to tell my client it can't be done. At least they'll always have twitter...
I don't think it is possible to get facebook feeds without an accesstoken (even if they are public). So I guess you need to define an app within Facebook and add login stuff to your app so users can give permission to your app for basic access.

I'm trying to programmatically create an application in Facebook. I can do that with this:
https://www.facebook.com/connect/create_app.php?api_key=[key]&name=app_name
However, there's always a popup that says "Allow [Root App] to integrate Facebook functionality for you?" ... OK.
Is it possible for the "Root App" to create the application on the user's behalf without the popup via some previous permission which they have allowed, like stream_publish ...etc or maybe a session_token or ??
Someone said I can create child apps via "admin.setAppProperties" but couldn't get it working. I've also tried "FB.Connect.createApplication" and "Facebook.createApplication" but also failed.
Can anyone help? Maybe with some sample code.
There used to be an API for this but I think it has been discontinued. You can see if you can hack it together from the information available here:
http://blog.programmableweb.com/2009/10/15/facebook-lets-you-easily-integrate-into-sites-and-widgets-with-new-create-application-api/
Child applications (I believe they called them 'fourth party applications') intentionally need user interactions to create.
The documentation for https://www.facebook.com/connect/create_app.php?api_key=[key]&name=app_name is scarce to none. Are you able to access the API key of the newly created application somehow? Or set further app settings such as site-url?
I'm thinking you would need the user's permission to view /accounts then monitor before/after state to detect which one was created.
Is it possible for the "Root App" to create the application on the
user's behalf without the popup via some previous permission which
they have allowed, like stream_publish ...etc or maybe a session_token

If you create a Facebook application that only pulls someone's profile information, and then you add new functionality that allows it to automatically post on people's walls; you would have to require the user to re-authenticate themselves to give you those extra permissions.
It's hard to understand what you meant by that question.
I am working on simple facebook integration that allows users to post high scores to their wall. The way doodlejump handles this is my inspiration. I have it functioning, but it's not very clean and I'm not sure what to do.
I followed the instructions at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/mobile to get up and running. One of the first things it has you do it call [facebook authorize:nil delegate:self]. After that you can call [facebook dialog:#"feed" andParams:params andDelegate:self] to make a post to the users wall. I have two issues with this.
First, when you call authorize it exits your app as that is facebook's new desired methodology as part of "One Single Sign-On" (OSS). That ok, what isn't ok is that my app is doing this even if the user is already signed on. I do not see a way to check if the user is already signed on.
The second issue is that it exits my app to authorize my app to post something to facebook. It seems acceptable to exit the app to sign on to facebook. Most users will have already done this, so no big deal. But my app should not have to exit just to get user authorization to post something. DoodleJump doesn't do that but I'm not sure how.
I tried digging through old posts but the SDK has changed so a lot of them are no longer valid. Thanks.
Based on the latest Facebook SDK (located at Github) and it's example I have determined that this is the expected behavior.
It is built around the new fangled "fast app switching" so it looks like that is just what happens.
A little lame imo but if that's what Facebook engineers have determined to be the optimal process then so be it.
I was having the same problem. Turned out it was because I hadn't set the URL Schemas in info.plist Where it says to fut fbYOUR_APP_ID make sure that you do this how they say. Your plist file should say something like fb12345 and then it will identify that the user has logged in correctly. offline_access will then work as a result
Might not be the answer you are looking for, but the app 'Hipstamatic' connects with facebook for photo upload (which I assume/hope is a similar process as wall posting) from within itself.
It could be worth seeing if they would be able to guide you if you sent the devs an e-mail?
I think they solve this issue by calling an iframe of sorts within the app, connecting the app to facebook and performing facebook activities, then closing once complete.
Hope this helps!
What permissions are you requesting? If you don't ask for offline_access the framework will make the user log in each time.
You can also try ShareKit
It's an open source library for iOS to share links, images and more. It's very simple and also works with Twitter and other social networks.
The site also contains some video tutorial and some code examples to integrate the Facebook API, Check this
