Hey Guys,

Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to add facebook functionality to my app. I want to be able to share and post stuff to facebook wall.

Thanks,

Hi

http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/10/facebook-single-sign-on-for-air-ios.html might also be of use, if you are looking to have Facebook Single Sign On with the flash AS API craig mentioned above.

Hey Saumitra,

I saw this blog post of yours last month, and was planning on using your single sign-on ANE with my app within the next month. Just curious, though...since it appears you work for Adobe...does Adobe have any plans incorporating your work into the actionscript/Facebook code, or is it to remain an ANE? I'm only asking because I haven't yet compiled my Adobe Air app with an ANE, and am hesitant to do so (or at least want to spend my development cycles on stuff I know how to do), especially if it won't be necessary. However, lately it seems I'm needing more and more iOS native functionality that I can't find in the Flex mobile framework, so maybe it's time to take the plunge...

Thanks,

Craig

Hi Craig:

The only native functionality required for SSO is canOpenURL. There seems to be no easy way of knowing in advance if a particular URL (or custom URL) can be opened(Without actually opening it) on certain iDevice. I use this to open Facebook app or Safari if Facebook app is not found. adding canNavigateToURL (just to accompany navigateToURL) in AS can be a good feature request, you can make one at http://ideas.adobe.com/air/

I doubt whether my code will go in facebook as api, as the api is cross-platform and my blogpost is specific to iOS.
