FB iOs SDK -- post on wall issue - iphone

I was able to update status using FBStreamDialog object. The case is i want to update it with a programmatically added message.. Any way of doing that???
Thanks in Advance

You need "publish_stream" for posting stream or any message you want to post without user interaction.
NSString *message = #"test message here";
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[params setObject:message forKey:#"message"];
[_facebook requestWithMethodName:#"facebook.Stream.publish" andParams:params
andHttpMethod:#"POST" andDelegate:self];
Then you can handle the response in "Delegate" methods of facebook i.e.
- (void)request:(FBRequest *)request didLoad:(id)result
Hope that helps, Please mark as answer if it does.
Thanks

Facebook like button in iPhone native app

I want to implement facebook like button in my native iphone app. So that user can like my facebook page . I am already sharing facebook status updates, but am unable to implement like button.
I was unable to find any helpful resource on web.Please help.
Aaaand here's one I prepared earlier (using FBConnect, the FB api):
If you have the id of the post as postId
NSString *graphPath = [[NSString alloc]
initWithFormat:#"%#/likes",
postId];
NSMutableDictionary *params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[[delegate facebook] requestWithGraphPath:graphPath andParams:params andHttpMethod:#"POST" andDelegate:self];
of course you'd need to change how you got the Facebook singleton (I used [delegate Facebook]).

How to post on user's wall indicating an app was installed?

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/ doesn't seem to give a clue about it. Would "Install(ed)" be an action? If the feed is something like " installed on iPhone", how to make the to be a link such that the user can tap on it so to lead the user to App Store?
I know the API to use, something like the following. But I just don't know what are the params that should be there for the above feed.
NSMutableDictionary* params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithCapacity:1]
[params setObject:username forKey:#"name"];
[params setObject:#"Description" forKey:#"description"];
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
andParams:params
andHttpMethod:#"POST"
andDelegate:self];
You can get all info of setting the facebook ios sdk with a screenshot of a post..

i want to share friend's post via graph api

I want to share some posts in facebook via graph api.
But there's no api like this. only "feed" exists.
I tried to use "me/feed" graph api action to share my friend's post(and post in page). but it's not same as i shared in facebook website. i want to know how.
source is..
NSMutableDictionary *fbArguments = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
NSString *linkURL = #"http://media.daum.net/society/others/view.html?cateid=1067&newsid=20120106140112792&p=munhwa&RIGHT_COMM=R4";
[fbArguments setObject:linkURL forKey:#"link"];
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
andParams:fbArguments
andHttpMethod:#"POST"
andDelegate:self];
[fbArguments release];
And I noticed there's no action for sharing friend's post(or photo), page's post via facebook iphone app. (so weird. don't you need this action?)
what can i do? can you help me?
Thanks.
i'v succeeded sharing photo. that is 'Link'.
source is
NSMutableDictionary *fbArguments = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
NSString *linkURL = #"https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=324225380935287&set=a.265279620163197.68309.194442110580282&type=1";
[fbArguments setObject:linkURL forKey:#"link"];
[fbArguments setObject:#"good!" forKey:#"message"];
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
andParams:fbArguments
andHttpMethod:#"POST"
andDelegate:self];
[fbArguments release];
i added message. and this is perfectly same as i shared via facebook web.
but there is one problem. this never makes back reference(trackback?).
if I share a photo via facebook web, I can see "5 shares" upper comment list, and my username is is there.
But this way, There is no my username. No trackback.
what can i do?
thanks.

Facebook Connect on iOS - Picture doesn't display with wall post

I've set up Facebook connect with my app using the demo project provided by Facebook. Everything works great, except for the last little step...
First of all, I login and get permissions.
Next, I upload a picture. This works great, I can see the picture in my Facebook album like I should be able to.
When this picture is uploaded, I get it's URL (returned by the FBRequest delegate). Copy pasting this URL into a web browser takes me directly to the image, so I know that this URL is correct.
Here's where the problem is:
I now want to present this picture alongside a wall post. The wall post is fine, but the picture just doesn't seem to attach and the status is left as a plain text message.
Here's the code I'm using for the last part:
- (void)request:(FBRequest *)request didLoad:(id)result {
NSString* picUrl = [result objectForKey:#"src_big"]; //this definitely returns the right URL
if (picUrl)
{
NSString *message = #"Test status";
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
message, #"message", picUrl, #"picture", #"Look at my photo", #"name", nil];
[facebook requestWithMethodName:#"facebook.Stream.publish" andParams:params
andHttpMethod:#"POST" andDelegate:self];
}
}
Any ideas what I'm missing or doing wrong?
Fixed with the following code (after a lot of failed attempts). Facebook doesn't like the way I was trying it, you've got to do it all in just one step:
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"Test message", #"message", imageData, #"source", nil];
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"/me/photos" andParams:params andHttpMethod:#"POST" andDelegate:self];
Can't comment yet but to get this working I had to change #"/me/photos" to #"me/photos" in Jordan's answer above. Very helpful though, not sure why it was down voted.

Upload an image on Facebook via FBConnect

I know many question has been post and answer for this question. I still stuck by a little thing.
I did success upload an UIImage on Facebook via my iPhone app but I realize that photos goes to a pending album. And user had to accept it to get it post on their wall.
Here is my code
- (void)start
{
NSArray *permissions = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
#"read_stream", #"offline_access", nil];
[_fbEngine authorize:kFbAppId
permissions:permissions
delegate:self];
}
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark FBSession delegate
- (void)fbDidLogin
{
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
self.image, #"picture",
nil];
[_fbEngine requestWithMethodName:#"photos.upload"
andParams:params
andHttpMethod:#"POST"
andDelegate:self];
}
Is there a way to post a photo directly on the wall without passing by the pending album.

Add #"publish_stream" to your list of requested permissions.
That'll let you push straight to their wall without an intermediate step. #"offline_access" would allow you to do that via the graph api instead of with a FBDialog, too, so you could make the post happen entirely in the background.
