FacebookConnect plugin with phonegap adobe build not working - facebook

Question

I have a Phonegap projct which is being built with adobe build.
I want to integrate FacebookConnect as per this git / tutorial page : https://github.com/phonegap-build/FacebookConnect
This is my adobe build config.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<widget xmlns= "http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
xmlns:gap= "http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0"
id= "com.TomBers.foodidapp"
version = "0.0.1">
<cordova>
<preference name="KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction" value="true" />
<preference name="SuppressesIncrementalRendering" value="false" />
<preference name="UIWebViewBounce" value="true" />
<preference name="TopActivityIndicator" value="gray" />
<preference name="EnableLocation" value="false" />
<preference name="EnableViewportScale" value="false" />
<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="true" />
<preference name="ShowSplashScreenSpinner" value="true" />
<preference name="MediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction" value="false" />
<preference name="AllowInlineMediaPlayback" value="false" />
<preference name="BackupWebStorage" value="cloud" />
<preference name="orientation" value="portrait" />
<preference name="phonegap-version" value="2.5.0" />
<content src="index.html" />
<plugins>
<plugin name="Device" value="CDVDevice" />
<plugin name="Logger" value="CDVLogger" />
<plugin name="Compass" value="CDVLocation" />
<plugin name="Accelerometer" value="CDVAccelerometer" />
<plugin name="Camera" value="CDVCamera" />
<plugin name="NetworkStatus" value="CDVConnection" />
<plugin name="Contacts" value="CDVContacts" />
<plugin name="Debug Console" value="CDVDebugConsole" />
<plugin name="Echo" value="CDVEcho" />
<plugin name="File" value="CDVFile" />
<plugin name="FileTransfer" value="CDVFileTransfer" />
<plugin name="Geolocation" value="CDVLocation" />
<plugin name="Notification" value="CDVNotification" />
<plugin name="Media" value="CDVSound" />
<plugin name="Capture" value="CDVCapture" />
<plugin name="SplashScreen" value="CDVSplashScreen" />
<plugin name="Battery" value="CDVBattery" />
<plugin name="Globalization" value="CDVGlobalization" />
<plugin name="InAppBrowser" value="CDVInAppBrowser" />
<plugin name="com.phonegap.facebook.Connect" value="com.phonegap.facebook.ConnectPlugin" />
<gap:plugin name="FacebookConnect">
<param name="APP_ID" value="133914256793487" />
</gap:plugin>
</plugins>
<access origin="*" />
</cordova>
</widget>
I then added the various javascript scraps and buttons shown in the Simple example : https://github.com/phonegap-build/FacebookConnect/tree/master/example/Simple including :
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function() {
try {
alert('Device is ready! Make sure you set your app_id below this alert.');
FB.init({ appId: "133914256793487", nativeInterface: CDV.FB, useCachedDialogs: false });
document.getElementById('data').innerHTML = "";
} catch (e) {
alert(e);
}
}, false);
With my updated appid. When my app loads - i get the alert saying device is ready!
Then I get 2 more alerts, one saying : plugin fail on init.
Then one saying : plugin fail on auth.status.
I have added my android debug keystore hash to the app on facebook + my developer settings.
I am not sure how to debug from here.
Cheers,
Andy

I would suggest you use the inappbrowser plugin to do this instead... example shown below.
Fill in the xxx below with your relevant info
var my_client_id = "xxxxxx", // YOUR APP ID
my_secret = "xxxxxxxxx", // YOUR APP SECRET
my_redirect_uri = "https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html", // LEAVE THIS
my_type ="user_agent", my_display = "touch"; // LEAVE THIS
var facebook_token = "fbToken"; // OUR TOKEN KEEPER
var ref; //IN APP BROWSER REFERENCE
// FACEBOOK
var Facebook = {
init:function(){
// Begin Authorization
var authorize_url = "https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?";
authorize_url += "client_id=" + my_client_id;
authorize_url += "&redirect_uri=" + my_redirect_uri;
authorize_url += "&display=" + my_display;
authorize_url += "&scope=publish_stream";
//CALL IN APP BROWSER WITH THE LINK
ref = window.open(authorize_url, '_blank', 'location=no');
ref.addEventListener('loadstart', function(event){
Facebook.facebookLocChanged(event.url);
});
},
facebookLocChanged:function(loc){
if (loc.indexOf("code=") >= 1 ) {
//CLOSE INAPPBROWSER AND NAVIGATE TO INDEX
ref.close();
//THIS IS MEANT TO BE DONE ON SERVER SIDE TO PROTECT CLIENT SECRET
var codeUrl = 'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id='+my_client_id+'&client_secret='+my_secret+'&redirect_uri='+my_redirect_uri+'&code='+loc.split("=")[1];
console.log('CODE_URL::' + codeUrl);
$.ajax({
url: codeUrl,
data: {},
type: 'POST',
async: false,
cache: false,
success: function(data, status){
//WE STORE THE TOKEN HERE
localStorage.setItem(facebook_token, data.split('=')[1].split('&')[0]);
},
error: function(){
alert("Unknown error Occured");
}
});
}
}
I would add more functions for logout and posting to a wall etc.
You can find documenatation on the inappbrowser here

Answer 2

After hours and hours of trying I got this to work.
Here's what's wrong with the proposed xml:
Tag cordova is wrong, remove it.
Tag gap:plugin does NOT go inside the plugins tag.
Tag plugin name="com.phonegap.facebook.Connect" is unnecessary and probably wrong.
Then I suggest inspecting the .apk file produced by phonegap build. If things are working as they should the files cdv-plugin-fb-connect.js and facebook-js-sdk.js should be present in assets/www.
By the way those files must not be present in the supplied src.
