titanium app integration with facebook - android-emulator

Its been a couple of days i started working with titanium and got familiar with the framework. Its really cool framework. Now i am building an app trying to connect with facebook.... I also registered an app on facebook developers and got the id.But it couldnt connect for some reason...
I am getting errors like:
Message: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'appid' of undefined
My code is as follows:(http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Facebook-property-loggedIn)
// Don't forget to set your appid and requested permissions, else the login button
// won't be effective.
Titanium.Facebook.appid = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
Titanium.Facebook.permissions = ['publish_stream', 'read_stream'];
Titanium.Facebook.addEventListener('login', function(e) {
if (e.success) {
alert('Logged in');
}
});
Titanium.Facebook.addEventListener('logout', function(e) {
alert('Logged out');
});
// add the button. Note that it doesn't need a click event or anything.
Titanium.UI.currentWindow.add(Titanium.Facebook.createLoginButton({ top: 50, style: 'wide' }));
and in my tiapp.xml i added below code :
<property name="ti.facebook.appid">XXXXXXXXXXX</property>
<modules>
<module platform="android">facebook</module>
</modules>
one last thing i am using android 2.2 similator... I know i should ask this question in titanium appcelerator forums ... i didn't it, but did get any response ... Thought some geeks here might help me.. Thanks

I am using titanium studio with 3.1 SDK. So i guess Titanium.Facebook has been deprecated in newer versions.http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Facebook.LoginButton)
Below code snippet works for me..
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({backgroundColor: 'white'});
var fb = require('facebook');
fb.appid = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
fb.permissions = ['publish_stream'];
fb.addEventListener('login', function(e) {
if (e.success) {
alert('Logged in');
}
});
fb.addEventListener('logout', function(e) {
alert('Logged out');
});
win.add(fb.createLoginButton({
top : 50,
style : fb.BUTTON_STYLE_WIDE
}));
win.open()
Cheers...

cant login with ionic (cannot authenticate via a web browser)

I am trying to test my code with
.controller('AppCtrl', function ($scope, $ionicModal, $cordovaOauth, $localStorage, $location) {
$scope.login = function() {
$cordovaOauth.facebook("APPID", ["email", "read_stream", "user_website", "user_location", "user_relationships"]).then(function(result) {
$localStorage.accessToken = result.access_token;
alert("facebook login correctly");
$location.path("/profile");
}, function(error) {
alert(error);
console.log(error);
});
};
But all the time getting error:
cannot authenticate via a web browser
I am using ionic and cordovaOauth, when I am trying to test the app with android I don't get any response.The question is how can I debug it really with simulator or something easily like PhoneGap app, I tried to work with phone gap but can't know how can I debug it.
I've met the same problem and I have found this : https://github.com/nraboy/ng-cordova-oauth/issues/46
Basically, you should test your code in an emulator not in a browser.

Trying to retrieve facebook user email using facebook connect for cordova 3.2

I'm developing an android app wherein it requires to be logged into the app via facebook. I'm using facebook connect for cordova 3.2 and its working fine.But the problem is I'm not able to get the user's email address. I tried scope : email , permissions : 'email', but it simply does not work.I have installed facebook sdk for android the cordova 3.2 version and configured that with my project. I call the facebook login uri with a button click event.
var facebookConnect;
$("#facebookfbtn").unbind("click").click(function () {
facebookConnect.login(loginCallback, true);
});
document.addEventListener("deviceready", deviceready, false);
function deviceready(){
facebookConnect = window.plugins.facebookConnect;
}
loginCallback = function(result){
alert(result);
if(result == "OPENED")
{
facebookConnect.me(meCallback);
}
}
logoutCallback = function(result){
alert(result);
}
meCallback = function(result){
alert(JSON.stringify(result));
//var test = JSON.stringify(result);
alert('Good to see you, ' + result.name + '!' + '\n'+ 'Your Details :'+ '\n'+'Location:'+result.location+'\n'+'Email: '+result.email);
}
statusCallback = function(result){
alert(result);
}

Cakephp Facebook Plugin - Sharing through an action

I am using Nick Baker's (webtechnick) CakePHP / Facebook plugin which is awesome and works great, however I have a question that I can't seem to even come close to answer for.
How would I bypass the use of a share button and share directly through an action?
For instance, I make a post through my site and the post adds to the DB as it should, it also shoots a post to the logged in users Twitter account through the action. How can I also have this action handle sharing it to my FB account (connection has already been made).? I tried the first thing I think anyone would obviously try $this->Facebook->share() directly in the action, too no avail...
Any thoughts or solutions would be of great help...
UPDATE AFTER ANSWER
Thx for the help spooney. I voted your answer up because you are 100% spot on from what I can tell. I am loading the JS SDK.
function init($options = null, $reload = true) {
if (empty($options)) {
$options = array();
}
if ($appId = FacebookInfo::getConfig('appId')) {
$session = json_encode($this->Session->read('FB.Session'));
if ($reload) {
$callback = "FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login',function(){window.location.reload()});";
} else {
$callback = "if(typeof(facebookReady)=='function'){facebookReady()}";
}
$callback .= "FB.Event.subscribe('auth.logout',function() {window.location = '/bastards/users/logout'});";
$init = '<div id="fb-root"></div>';
$init .= $this->Html->scriptBlock(
<<<JS
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '{$appId}',
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true, // parse XFBML
oauth : true // use Oauth
});
{$callback}
};
(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script');
e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/{$this->locale}/all.js';
e.async = true;
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
JS
, $options);
return $init;
} else {
return "<span class='error'>No Facebook configuration detected. Please add the facebook configuration file to your config folder.</span>";
}
}
I have no problem pulling in the user information and working with all that. I have accomplished posting to FB from my site, but it was only through a link, using FB.ui...
<br><font style="color:#FFF; text-decoration:none;padding-left:27px;">post to wall</font><br>
<script>
function publishStory() {
FB.ui({
method: 'feed',
name: 'message name',
caption: 'message caption ',
description: 'description goes here',
link: 'the url current page',
picture: 'if you want to add an image'
},
function(response) {
console.log('publishStory response: ', response);
});
return false;
}
</script>
I have tried replacing the code above with...
<br><font style="color:#FFF; text-decoration:none;padding-left:27px;">post to wall</font><br>
<script>
function publishStory() {
var body = 'Reading JS SDK documentation';
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', { message: body }, function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
alert('Error occured');
} else {
alert('Post ID: ' + response.id);
}
});
}
</script>
But it errors everytime.
I should also throw in there that the post on the users FB wall isn't really coming from the site persay, it's a post from the user on their own wall basically stating, "I made a post on ladala.com, you should go check it out at ."
So now I'm at the point that I need to figure out how to run FB.ui through the action that submits the post.
Based on our conversation, I figured I would just put a more complete description in an answer.
You can fire a share call using the JavaScript SDK.
First, you would need to load the JavaScript SDK as described in the Loading section of https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/.
Once loaded into your page, the two calls you want to look at are FB.getLoginStatus, and FB.api. FB.getLoginStatus will give you back a response telling you if the user is logged in to facebook, and if they have approved your application. This link will describe the functionality of getLoginStatus, but in short, you need to check for response.connected(and then possibly do another call to confirm a user's permissions, if required).
If the user is logged in and has approved your app, you can then attempt to make an API call using FB.api. Keep in mind to do this, you will likely need the user to have allowed the publish_stream permission.
Your code would look something like this:
//Do FB initialization
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.status === 'connected') {
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', { message: body }, function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
//Post was successful
}
});
}
});
This can be triggered any way you want. On page load, on click, on completion of some other event, etc.
Keep in mind this is just one way to implement this. Also, if you are trying to share something with your FB application, and it is not working, you should confirm that you have all the permissions required to do so.

FB.getLoginStatus does not fires callback function

I have a difficult problem. Difficult means I searched through the net and StackOverflow as well the whole FBJS SDK documentation and haven't find answer.
I am building a Page Tab application where I'd like to let fans to rsvp events. So I have to check if the user is logged in and if it doesn't I have to login. That sounds pretty easy, but FB.getLoginStatus doesn't fires callback function. This is the code excerpt:
FB.init({
appId: window.appID,
status: true,
xfbml: true,
cookie: true,
oauth: true,
channelUrl: 'http://example.com/fb/channel.html'
});
and then I simply - of course after the user clicks on a button - call FB.getLoginStatus, but it seems it doesn't do anything.
I've already checked sandbox mode, FB.init success, URLs in application settings and developing environment. I can call FB.ui, although FB.ui with method: 'oauth' I get an error message saying " The "redirect_uri" parameter cannot be used in conjunction with the "next" parameter, which is deprecated.". Which is very weird because I didn't used "next" parameter. But when I set next to undefined, it works fine, I get the window, but it says "Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.". Expect from that, I can login, then I've got the access_token. But in the new window, getLoginStatus still doesn't do anything.
So any advices are welcome.
Thanks,
Tamas
UPDATE:
function onBodyLoad() { //on body onload
FB.init({
appId: window.appID,
status: true,
xfbml: true,
cookie: true,
oauth: true,
channelUrl: 'http://example.com/fb/channel.html'
});
}
...
function getName() { // on button onclick
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response){
if (response.authResponse)
{
window.loggedIn = true;
debugString('Logged in');
} else
{
window.loggedIn=false;
debugString('Not logged in');
}
}, true);
if (window.loggedIn === undefined) {
debugString('getLoginStatus did not exec'); // I always get this message
}
}
UPDATE 2: I created a new App on a different URL, which is configured as a standalone website. There these codes work perfectly, I can getLoginStatus, I can login, etc. Is there any difference working in the context of FB, and in a standalone website, using FB JavaScript SDK?
FB.getLoginStatus does not fire the callback when you are running the website on a different domain than the one that you registered the app with. I usually find myself in this situation when I am developing locally or on a staging server.
For example, if you registered the site with example.com and your staging server is example.mystagingserver.com, the callback wont fire. In this case, you need to create a second application in Facebook and use the Application ID and Secret for the new app.
I just had the same problem, though it only happened to some users.
I finally found out that if your app is sandbox mode, none-developer users can still see your app as a pagetab. But calling getLoginStatus will fail silently (even logging turned on).
Took a while to figure that one out, I hope this can save someone else some time.
I'm using this code, successfully. I'm not quite sure where the differences are.. but I'm using the ASYNC FB Loader.
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({ appId: 'XXXXXX', //change the appId to your appId
status: true,
cookie: true,
xfbml: true,
oauth: true});
function authEvent(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
//user is already logged in and connected
FB.api('/me', function(info) {
login(response, info);
});
} else {
//user is not connected to your app or logged out
button.onclick = function() {
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
FB.api('/me', function(info) {
login(response, info);
});
} else {
//user cancelled login or did not grant authorization
}
}, {scope:'email,rsvp_event,status_update,publish_stream,user_about_me'});
}
}
}
// run once with current status and whenever the status changes
FB.getLoginStatus(updateButton);
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.statusChange', updateButton);
};
(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
e.src = document.location.protocol
+ '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
function login(response, info){
if (response.authResponse) {
accessToken = response.authResponse.accessToken;
userid = info.id;
userInfo.innerHTML = '<img src="https://graph.facebook.com/' + info.id + '/picture">' + info.name+"<br /> Your Access Token: " + accessToken;
}
}
You can use the following code to check if the user is logged in:
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
// logged in and connected user, someone you know
} else {
// no user session available, someone you dont know
}
});
From FB JS SDK Documentation.
You can wrap the whole code in jQuery ready :
$('document').ready(function(){
... above code
})
Also you may want to check this question StackOverflow.
I had the same problem. I was working on the facebook login process of our website. During development the "FB.getLoginStatus" did not return a response. I fixed it in the settings of the app on facebook:
-In facebook go to "manage apps"
-Go to the "facebook login" settings of your app
-Add your development url (for example "https://localhost") to the "Valid OAuth Redirect URIs"
(Don't forget to remove the "https://localhost" from the OAuth Redirect URIs when you are finished with developping.)
Something common that causes this is that a browser is blocking cookies, this will cause the event not to fire. Also, make sure that if you or your user have and ad blocker that it is not blocking third party cookies.
Example of warning:
For me after extensive testing can confirm the dialog to log the user will not show unless you use a valid Application ID
These can be found in
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/{{Application__Id}}/settings/
Just make sure you call the api with the correct ID.

appcelerator titanium : close facebook view

I am new to appcelerator titanium, i created a mobile project, tried the following code to connect to facebook:
Titanium.Facebook.appid = '[my appid]';
Titanium.Facebook.permissions = ['publish_stream'];
Titanium.Facebook.addEventListener('login', function(e) {
if (e.success) {
alert('Logged in');
}
});
Titanium.Facebook.addEventListener('logout', function(e) {
alert('Logged out');
});
// add the button. Note that it doesn't need a click event or anything.
Titanium.UI.currentWindow.add(Titanium.Facebook.createLoginButton({ top: 50, style: 'wide' }));
what I failed to do is closing the facebook webview and going back to my application,
can anyone help me on that?
thanks in advance
Good walkthru here facebook-module-changes-in-titanium-mobile-1-6-0.html.
I suspect you are not setting your APPID correctly in tiapp.xml
See Titanium.Facebook-module
