Facebook Android Plugin

ar2rsawseen

Here is a Facebook Android Plugin.

https://github.com/ar2rsawseen/GiderosFacebookAndroidPlugin

It will probably be included in next versions of Gideros, but for those of you who can't wait and want to try it out now (maybe even find any bugs ) here it is.

I've attached two files, one (FacebookPlugin.zip) for Android exported project other (FacebookGideros.zip) a Gideros sample project.

Installation instructions:

• Download Facebook SDK here: http://developers.facebook.com/android/
• Facebook SDK installation instructions here: http://developers.facebook.com/android/
  • Download and unzip
  • Import SDK into eclipse (Note you need to import it in workspace and check copy all files)
• Export Gideros project to Android project
• Import Android project to eclipse (Note you need to import it in workspace and check copy all files or Facebook SDK won't work)
• Link Facebook SDK to your project:
  • Right click on your project
  • Select properties
  • Choose Android
  • In library section click Add and choose FacebookSDK
  • If it's not there or not linking properly, it means that you haven't imported FacebookSDK into eclipse or it's not in your workspace or your project is not in your workspace
• Copy contents of FacebookPlugin.zip into your project:
  • Copy .so files to each separate armeabi folder
  • Copy facebook folder to src/giderosmobile/android/plugins folder
• Inside your main activity:
  • Add lib as System.loadLibrary("facebook");
  • Add external class as "com.giderosmobile.android.plugins.facebook.GFacebook"
  • Add this line inside onActivityResult method: GFacebook.fb.authorizeCallback(requestCode, resultCode, data); (This step will not be needed, when plugin will be included in Gideros SDK)
• Clean and launch the app, if it does not work, come and complain here, because I may have also screwed something up

EDIT
Attaching Facebook SDK I used while developing plugin

Added it also to the Github repo if anyone's interested:

What exactly does it do with facebook?
Like an app which posts to someone's page, or use their profile as a means of identification for a score table? Stuff like that?

ar2rsawseen

Basically it can do all Graph API provides:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/

Additionally it uses Facebook app for authentication or provides Web Dialogs.

And there are also other web dialogs as one that allows user to post something to his wall, etc.

Dear @ar2rsawseen
I think I have found one bug:

local score = 10
local paramaters = {
score = score,
fields = "firstname"
}
facebook:graphRequest("me/scores", paramaters,"POST")

This code closes player.

ar2rsawseen

@achimeno thanks, I love when users provide test cases, I'll check it right now

ar2rsawseen

Fixed and pushed to github
https://github.com/ar2rsawseen/GiderosFacebookAndroidPlugin

achimeno

Thank you @ar2rsawseen

Another one:
facebook:authorize({"publish_actions"})

In the Java part you have a null in the String [] --> {"publish_actions", null}

ar2rsawseen

@achimeno you are awesome!
Fixed and pushed

Any way to make it works in Gideros Player? I'm just curious how to make something harder than authorizing and sharing without it.

ar2rsawseen

@unlying that's easy
Export Gideros project as Android project, install plugin into exported project, delete assets folder, which is inside assets folder in exported project, and you have yourself Gideros player for Android with FB plugin.

I assume there are same steps for IOS player

unlying

I'm using your sample app and i'm having these errors:
"GFacebook cannot be resolved FacebookActivity.java"
and
"Jar mismatch! Fix your dependencies"
Something goes wrong for me.

And any way to use it on PC?

ar2rsawseen

@unlying unfortunately it can't be used on PC player. It's an Android plugin.
So only if you can launch android apk on PC, like using BlueStacks or something, but that is usually not so handy.

And about your problem, it looks like something similar to this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14515626/jar-mismatch-fix-your-dependencies-for-the-facebooksdk

usually a problem in Android support library.

Hello

I did everything as described, but when I run the app it closes test alone ... what can be the problem?

Hmm, thats strange the line NullPointer exception is pointing to is a quite harmless line:

SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(sActivity.get());

So unless there is a reason I'm not aware of, where shared preferences are not available, I can't really think of a reason.
What device are you trying it on? Model, OS version, etc

Emanuel

I tested on two ... galaxy s3 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 emulator

Emanuel

the same problem in both

ar2rsawseen

Hmm, can't really reproduce.

If you comment out the line 57:

String token = getFBToken();

in src/com/giderosmobile/android/plugins/facebook/GFacebook.java

and replace it with this line:

String token = "";

Do you have any other problems then?

Emanuel

now opens and close after....

ar2rsawseen

@Emanuel, can you send me your Android project? Like attach here on the forum or send by email to ar2rsawseen at gmail dot com
Just so I could check that everything is set up normally?

Emanuel

Please tell me what you changed ... ok thank you

pedroluis5

@Emanuel is my friend...tks for help @ar2rsawseen you awesome

ar2rsawseen

Hello @Emanuel

I've tried your project, but it does not have facebook plugin installed at all.

You need to copy .so files, copy .java files and modify main activity like it's told here:
https://github.com/ar2rsawseen/GiderosFacebookAndroidPlugin

Emanuel

Sorry, I sent the wrong file ....

Emanuel

This is all done and the problem that I reported ...

ar2rsawseen

@Emanuel it seems that you forgot to add GFacebook class to external classes in main Activity like this:

static private String[] externalClasses = { "com.giderosmobile.android.plugins.googlebilling.GGoogleBilling", "com.giderosmobile.android.plugins.facebook.GFacebook", };

You should of course also modify the GFacebook class back as it was

Emanuel

Thank you. worked!!
