B4A Library Facebook

This library will allow your apps to interact with Facebook.


Requirements:

1- B4A 3.x

2- Facebook account.

3- Copy the Facebook.xml and Facebook.jar to your additional libraries directory.


Usage:
B4X: 
'Initialize the library
Dim FB As Facebook

'Get the following 3 fields from Facebook after creating a Facebook app.
Dim AppID As String = "<APP_ID_FROM_FACEBOOK>"
Dim AppSecret As String = "<APP_SECRET_FROM_FACEBOOK>"
Dim myWebsite As String = "<LINK_TO_THE_WEBSITE_IN_REDIRECT_URI>"

FB.Initialize(Activity, Me, "myFB", AppID, AppSecret, myWebsite)

'Login to Facebook
FB.Login

'Get your profile
FB.GetMyProfile

...

'Display profile fields
Sub myFB_MyProfile_Response(Profile As Map)

    Dim Temp As String

    For I = 0 To Profile.Size - 1

        Temp = Temp & Profile.GetKeyAt(I) & ": " & Profile.GetValueAt(I) & CRLF

    Next

    Msgbox(Temp, "My Profile")


End Sub

The attached files contain:

a- The Facebook library.

b- "How to create a Facebook app" quick guide.

c- A sample project.


NOTES: You have to have some basic knowledge of the Facebook API to use it, especially about permissions, the library allows you to interact with Facebook but you are responsible to add/remove the necessary permissions for the actions you want to perform.

You have to create a Facebook app before you can use the library, the instructions are in the quick guide mentioned on item "b" above.


A DEMO app (apk) is also attached for you to take a look at the library's functionality.

Library recompiled on May 28, 2017 (B4A 6.8+)

I regenerated new app of facebook, leaving all settings as default, put the link redirectory, but the problem persite.

I point if the file does not have a problem with the message json, but then I can not prune, if you do not point the full link redirectory me by mistake but I can post json.

I do not know how to move in this situation
