I can't get ShareKit to work. I dragged ShareKit into my app with checked copy option. I also updated the shkconfig file with my Facebook key, secure key, and used the following code:
SHKItem *item = [SHKItem text:#"Praveen Kumar Tripathi"];
SHKFacebook *faceBook=[SHKFacebook shareItem:item];
[faceBook share];
in viewDidLoad.
But I'm not able to see Facebook screen. I'm seeing a blank screen.
You weren't completely clear, so I'm not sure what your asking, but it sounds like you want to show a facebook login at launch. The way you do that is like this:
First, #import "SHKFacebook.h"
then in your button, put then in the viewDidLoad:
SHKItem *item;
this creates the sharekit item
then:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/...?mt=8"];
put the link to your app here. This link is so if someone clicks on the Facebook post, they will be directed to the iTunes store to download your app.
Then set the basic text for your post. This text is set by you. The user Cannot change this text. (Obviously this is what I do, you can make this text anything you want)
item = [SHKItem URL:url title:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"I'm playing someGame on my iPhone! My Highscore is %i, think you can beat it?", highScoreInt]];
Then set up the post like this:
item = [SHKItem URL:url title:#"Share Me!"];
finally show the item:
[SHKFacebook shareItem:item];
I hope this helps.

I'm displaying a PDF in my app and I want to have to same "openIn" functionality as the default iOS mail client.
The code I have is as follows:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:#"/var/mobile/Applications/21D850EA-409A-4231-BDFE-6B79FC721DA3/Library/Caches/1373665423163257247920130712/84cd7f88cf1b400cb1f4a4d6ac439649.pdf"];
UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:#[url] applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
I've hard coded the path for testing.
The first image below is how it looks in the mail client.
The second image is how it looks in my app.
Any help would be great.
You misunderstand what is happening. In the Mail app you have opened the PDF in the preview window. The actions icon then brings up a UIDocumentInteractionController with the standard "options" menu.
The UIActivityController does not provide any "open in" functionality. If your want the same options in your app as from the Mail attachment preview window, use a UIDocumentInteractionController and use one of the presentOptionsMenu... methods.
Its already too long i am struggling with this issue. After searching a lot I decided to post a question here.
What my app does
Captures photo
Uploads the photo on the wall of the page
Displays the facebook page wall in a UIWebview after upload is complete
Everything was working as expected 4 days back :) Suddenly something went wrong :(
Code
NSString *facebookPageURL =#"https://m.facebook.com/pages/<myPageName>/<myPageID>?v=wall"
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:kAppFrame];
[webView setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];
[webView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
webView.delegate = self;
[webView setHidden: YES];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[facebookPageURL stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] relativeToURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://login.facebook.com"]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = nil;
if(url)
request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
[webView reload];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:webView];
webView = nil;
Scenario
If I open the url facebookPageURL in Safari in iOS Simulator it works well
If I open the url in any browser on Mac it works well
In webView I see a white screen
If I change the facebookPageURL to remove ?v=wall to ?v=info I am stil able to see the page.(not blank screen atleast).
Note
1. My facebook Page is NOT unpublished and is visible.
2. I have cross checked the facebook page permissions.
I suspect there is something changed on facebook side overnight.
Please guide.
It seems the ever capricious Facebookhas removed the permission to view the wall. I came to this conclusion as when I tried the same thing in separate project I was getting both info and photos but for wall it turned grey
So Here the solution for al those suffering or might suffer form this issue.
I am getting a dictionary in response to the post
{"id":"<imge_id>","post_id":"<post_id>"}
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=<imge_id>
and it works like a charm.
Edit:1
Just now I figured out an issue
For the pages with an age restriction, we need to authenticate which SSO doesn't supports for UIWebView inside my app.
I had to downgrade to NOT using SSO anymore. And now it works no matter what.
Just to add here you can find how to neatly downgrading to non-sso mechanism.
I think it's will help you
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
if ([(NSMutableURLRequest *)request respondsToSelector:#selector(setValue:forHTTPHeaderField:)]) {
[(NSMutableURLRequest *)request setValue:#" Safari/537.1" forHTTPHeaderField:#"User_Agent"];
}
}
I hit my head against the wall on this one for a while. The same request and webview on an iPhone will pull up a facebook page, but results in a blank white page on an iPad. Changing user agent doesn't solve the problem.
I was able to hack around it by pulling down the HTML for the page I was looking for using stringWithContentsOfURL and then loading the HTML manually into the webview
You don't want to call [NSString stringWithContentsofURL from your main thread if you can help it, since it will hold up your thread until the results come back. Here is my solution for running it in the background and updating a UIWebView that I had already created and added to my subview called "facebookWebView":
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
NSString *rawHTML = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.facebook.com/link.to.your.page.on.facebook"] encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:nil];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void) {
[facebookWebView loadHTMLString:rawHTML baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.facebook.com"]];
});
});
Hope this helps some people.
This is very strange to me...
I have a simple WebView that loads and interacts with the user exactly like safari mobile (iPhone). Now when you visit m.youtube.com in safari, the url changes when you click on a link to something like this...
http://m.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&hl=en&client=mv-google&v=HX6SyoZ5kw8
The problem with this is I don't think that url is being used in my webview... What do I mean? The following code is used to load a url every time the user try's to click on a link, and it works, but I have a problem with Youtube...
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView*)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
NSURL *url = request.URL;
NSString *urlString = url.absoluteString;
NSLog(#"%#",urlString);
VideoURLTextBox.text = urlString;
return YES;
}
When I first start up the webview it loads m.youtube.com and NSLogs() it into my console, but when I decide to click on a video it fails to NSLog() therefore I don't think a new url is being loaded, but when you load m.youtube.com in safari and click on a video you load a url like above, so why does this not NSLog() in my iPhone application?
What your probably seeing is that the youtube video is running javascript to play the video, you'd have to intercept the javascript callbacks to see that. Here's a link to the youtube video player api, detailing the callbacks, https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference#SubscribingEvents
If you just want to embed a youtube video in an iOS application then use this.
Using the mobile YouTube site isn't great, I had lots of problems with it in the past and ended up making a UIWebView category. I came across your question and decided to throw it on github :-)
https://github.com/enigmaticflare/UIWebView-YouTube--iOS-Category--ARC-compliant-code
UIWebView+YouTube iOS category to simplify loading youtube videos.
Instructions
1) Add these files to your project
UIWebView+YouTube.h
UIWebView+YouTube.m
2) Initiate UIWebView for example
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIWebView *webView;
#synthesize webView = _webView
_webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,212,172];
//set the X,Y origin of CGRect to where you want the webView to appear.
_webView.delegate = self;
[_webView loadYouTubeVideoID:#"gR8dO7Cln6M"];
[self.view addSubView:_webView];
Good luck, hope this is what your looking for :)

m.youtube.com is one giant java web app, delegate methods won't get called, presumably because any loading is written directly to the DOM in the UIWebView. Ran into this problem at work, not sure of the fix but there may be a way to inject the source with a JS click handler.
So, I'm using sharekit to share some text. I need to be able to send the email to a pre-defined recipient. How can I set the mail recipient to the sharekit item?
Sharekit has now implemented this. You can use the example below.
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"Your URL"];
SHKItem *item = [SHKItem URL:url title:#"Your title" contentType:SHKURLContentTypeUndefined];
NSArray *recipientArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"mail#example.com",nil];
[item setMailToRecipients:recipientArray];
[SHKMail shareItem:item];
I found the answer here:
ShareKit
UPDATE: Sharekit has an update that takes care of this now. See the newly accepted answer.
I am trying to use ShareKit to implement sharing via Twitter, mail & Tumbler but I am unable to make them work correctly.
I implemented the following code on view load,
SHKItem *item;
item=[SHKItem image:[UIImage imageNamed:#"icon2.png"] title:#"Praveen"];
[SHKFacebook shareItem:item];
Please help me..
Try these following lines ;) it works for me :)
NSString *imageName=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"marriage0.jpg"];
NSString *message=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",self.myMessage.text];
UIImage *image =[UIImage imageNamed:imageName];
SHKItem *fbItem = [SHKItem image:image title:message];
[SHKFacebook shareItem:fbItem];
