Android Question Facebook Pixel

[Hamied Abou Hulaikah]

Hi
Any idea how to implement facebook pixel in b4a app?
any code, library, tricks etc...

facebook pixel uses https protocol, which b4a handles
quite easily.

in practice, facebook pixel is javascript meant to run in
a web browser. technically, that javascript could run in
a webview, which b4a handles quite easily.

facebook provides a javascript code snippet for you to
insert in your javascript-enabled webview. that snippet
downloads yet more javascript from facebook. that code
may or may not run in a webview.

you obtain the initial javascript code snippet from facebook
by filling out a form.

the only way the code would run is in a javascript engine,
ie, a browser or webview. it's some unclear what you would
do with facebook pixel in a b4a app, but, technically, it
could work. because of webview's limitations, you won't
know for sure until you try. get the initial code snippet from
facebook, do up a little webpage and load it into a webview.

It shouldn't work from webview which load files from dir assets!
Facebook Pixel needs explicit domain/url.
Pixel has SDK for android, but How to use?

Facebook Pixel is very important tool for ads improvement & ads retargeting...

I think it is easy to be added to b4a, any Java expert to do it as a library wrapper or class.

you should research a little more as to how webview works; loading files from dir assets is only one way.
having a look as sdk

pixel is web-based. the sdk is similar in what it does, but it is not pixel.
