    Problem with the new Android Facebook plugin

    somezombiegmsomezombiegm Member
    edited May 2015 in General questions
    Hello, I'm trying to set up the latest Facebook plugin (for Android) which I was told was this one: https://github.com/gideros/giderosplugins/tree/master/Facebook

    I downloaded the FacebookSDK from dependencies (facebook-android-sdk-3.14) and tested the example but I can't run it. I pasted the source/Android/libs and everything from src/com/giderosmobile/android/plugins/facebook to that example.

    And I also modified:
    - My main activity:
    Added the lib System.loadLibrary("facebook").
    Added the external class as "com.giderosmobile.android.plugins.facebook.GFacebook".
    - res/values/strings.xml:
    Added a string with name: facebook_app_id, value: Facebook
    - AndroidManifest.xml:
    Added a metadata with name: com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId, value: @string/facebook_app_id

    And the problem is that when I run it on Eclipse with an Android device, I get a message saying my app has stopped, that's it. Please help.

      Hello @somezombiegm
      use the binaries available with Gideros release in All Plugins folder as they are built specifically for the release you have installed :)

      Hello,
      I also have a problem here.
      I set up my plugins from "All Plugins" without problem, and I tested it fine. I use 3.14 Facebook SDK.
      login/logout work, along with all getters.
      I can retrieve from gideros all data about friends, pictures, profiles, scores perfectly.

      I can't do any post though.
      Here is the error for a postScore({lvl = 2000}):
      http://pastebin.com/7TnJA8Em

      From this page:
      https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/android

      It appears that sharing operations on facebook require a specific "provider" in the manifest, but I can't start my player if I add it, because com.facebook.FacebookContentProvider is not found.
      Has this change in Facebook SDK?

      Any idea?

      Thanks in advance

      I think postScore key was supposed to be score
      postScore({score= 2000})
      Also to post score your app on facebook should have genre: game

      Also you need to include publish permissions when loging in

      That looks correct to me, but I used:
      facebook:post("/"..facebookID.."/scores",{score=playerScore})

      @ar2rsawseen
      My app is a game on facebook dev website. And I login with publish_actions successfully (I see two facebook permission screen for read and write permissions at login).

      @sinistersoft
      I tried with:
      facebook:post("/me/scores",{score=playerScore})
      but it failed the same way...

      Have you tried to install Facebook plugin from scratch on a new project recently?

      Can you precise how you configured your Android project?
      Thanks!

      huh? What do you mean?

      I include the facebook plugin + I also include the official facebook lib in the eclipse android properties (like you would for other things, eg google play).

      I also have a facebook app page and id, that I use in gideros.

      btw, my:
      facebook:post("/"..facebookID.."/scores",{score=playerScore})
      looks different than your:
      facebook:post("/me/scores",{score=playerScore})
      I just use the id that I found out earlier.

      Well, for example I had to configure things according to facebook website recommandation (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/getting-started/). One of those required to add the login activity in the manifest, but I had to change from "FacebookActivity" to "LoginActivity".
      As for sharing, it is also required to add a FacebookContentProvider with my app id, but the package "com.facebook.FacebookContentProvider" does not exist in my facebook SDK...

      @SinisterSoft
      Did you configure anything related to facebook in you Manifest?
