Instagram ANE?

[burgerjohnson96]

Are there any ANEs out there that deal with Instagram? I've been searching but can't seem to find one.

I am also looking for a native extension that will open an image created in my app in instagram.  There's a code snipit on the instagram site:

http://instagram.com/developer/iphone-hooks/

that makes is seem like doing it natively isn't that hard but i have no idea how to create ane's.

Hi.  I got side tracked on this project but am back at it and am wondering if anyone out there knows if there is now an ane that will open up image data in instagram?

I am also looking for an ANE for Instagram that would use the above mentioned code...

Anyone in ANE business...?

[User_Unknow]

that link you are provide http://instagram.com/developer/iphone-hooks/ simply open instagramm app if it installed.

I dont have instagram but this

NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://location?id=1"];if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL]) {    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:instagramURL];}

this is simplest URI accessing to installed app and this can be done without any ANEs directcly from as3

[Colin Holgate]

Would doing that line of AS3 also manage to get an image from your AIR app to your Instagram account?

[User_Unknow]

no, it will not send any data to instagram. Code above just calling instagram and I telling that is can be done using as3.

but transfering imagedata to instagramm defenitely must use ane

[paulsakebomb]

How do you make this call from as3?

Me and my partner just built this ANE, it works both on android and iOS, the way it works, it sends the bitmap to the Instagram application, although on iOS it opens the "share screen" where you only see instagram as an option, after you click that, it opens the image on instagram. We are considering selling this ANE for about $30-$40 if we see enough interest, so please feel free to contact me if you are interested in this ANE, my email djnr (at) djnr (dot) net

[marcanw]

djnr,  are you still selling your ANE?

I've been using this one in the past few months and it works perfectly on both iOS and Android:

DaVikingCode/Instagram-ANE · GitHub

Cheers.

[marcanw]

Thank you rbalieiro 🙂

I'll try it.

Cheers

This a more general ANE-Share from distriqt, which I'm using in my apps, but it doesn't yet support Instagram.

[marcanw]

I tried DaVikingCode/Instagram-ANE · GitHub

It works but with few weakness in the user flow.

I have to say that I have only tested it on IOS.

First, there is a screen that let you choose between different possibilities including instagram. In my case I had also messenger as an option but it didn't work.

So if I choose Instagram it opens Instagram and let me post the image with all the Instagram filters.

When the post is done, I don't receive the InstagramEvent.OK as expected and the user doesn't go back to the app.

So the user has to switch back manually to the app (with the risk that the user stays in Insragram)

So it works but the user flow is not great.

[rbalieiro]

I don't like how it's handled on iOS either, but I think there's no workaround. Instagram doesn't have a public API for posting photos (it lets you access their data but not write your own), so you have to use the iOS sharing menu in order to redirect the request to their app to handle it.

@rbalieiro

How is it working on Android?

In case you are interested, the distriqt ANE has been updated to include Instagram support:

Sharing to Instagram using the Share ANE · GitHub

Hi All,

Recently, Adobe has launched DataShare native extension to share data through installed applications on Android and iOS mobile device. For Android, it supports the Instagram sharing too.

Here is the Download link: Datashare Native Extension | Adobe Developer Connection

Thanks,

That's great work, Adobe

Just wondering, it says required Adobe products is Flash Builder - would this also be possible with Flash CC?

[abhijain19]

Absolutely, it also works with Flash CC.

Thanks,
