How to access FB share in BB10? - blackberry-webworks

Question

I have tried to share on facebook But was not able to share anything.
The code that i have used is:-
In Javascript
FB.init({
appId: 'some id',
cookie: true,
status:true,
xfbml:true,
oauth:true
});
function postToFeed() {
// calling the API ...
var obj = {
method: 'feed',
link: 'http://www.example.com',
picture: imageToShare,
name: 'name',
caption: 'This Link is Shared through the some application.',
description: ''
};
function callback(response) {
//document.getElementById('msg').innerHTML = "Post ID: " + response['post_id'];
}
FB.ui(obj, callback);
}
In config file
<access uri="http://connect.facebook.net" />
Thanks in advance.

If all you want to do is share something from your app to Facebook you can do this quite easily using Cards.
I wrote a blog post on this here: http://devblog.blackberry.com/2013/02/twitter-and-facebook-cards/
Basically, you're using the BlackBerry invocation framework to invoke the Card, and passing some data to that card.
function invokeFacebook() {
blackberry.invoke.invoke({
target: "Facebook",
action: "bb.action.SHARE",
type: "text/plain",
data: "I’m eating tacos with Alex."
}, onSuccess, onError);
}
If you want to share an image you would just swap out the 'data' attribute with:
uri: 'file://' + pathToFile,
There's also a sample app on our GitHub repo: https://github.com/ctetreault/BB10-WebWorks-Samples/tree/master/invoke/invoker
