I have downloaded and setup the android simple facebook sdk from github. I have made a simple page to test publishing a feed, and I was able to get to the point where I can add a message and click "share". However, once I click share, a progress dialog comes up that says "sending..." and then it goes away but nothing is sent. I printed the error message and it just says "Cancelled by user".
Here is the code I have, its just a button that logs in, and on success tries to post a feed.
Button postStuff;
private UiLifecycleHelper uiHelper;
Permission[] permissions = new Permission[] {
Permission.USER_PHOTOS,
Permission.EMAIL,
Permission.PUBLISH_ACTION
};
SimpleFacebookConfiguration configuration = new SimpleFacebookConfiguration.Builder()
.setAppId("My-App-ID")
.setNamespace("my_namespace")
.setPermissions(permissions)
.build();
SimpleFacebook mSimpleFacebook;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.fbtest);
SimpleFacebook.setConfiguration(configuration);
postStuff = (Button) findViewById(R.id.postStuff);
postStuff.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
OnLoginListener onLoginListener = new OnLoginListener() {
@Override
public void onLogin() {
// change the state of the button or do whatever you want
Log.i("fb login", "Logged in");
OnPublishListener onPublishListener = new OnPublishListener() {
@Override
public void onComplete(String postId) {
Log.i("fb post", "Published successfully. The new post id = " + postId);
}
@Override
public void onFail(String reason) {
Log.i("fb post","failed: " + reason);
}
/*
* You can override other methods here:
* onThinking(), onFail(String reason), onException(Throwable throwable)
*/
};
Feed feed = new Feed.Builder()
.setMessage("Check this out.")
.setName("Home Shop Guide App for Android")
.setCaption("Win prizes and deals daily")
.setDescription("User just won $500 from a daily scratchoff prize. You could be the next winner!")
.setPicture("https://homeshopguide.com/images/logo.png")
.setLink("https://homeshopguide.com/")
.build();
mSimpleFacebook.publish(feed, true, onPublishListener);
}
@Override
public void onNotAcceptingPermissions(Permission.Type type) {
// user didn't accept READ or WRITE permission
Log.w("fb login", String.format("You didn't accept %s permissions", type.name()));
}
@Override
public void onThinking() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i("fb login", "thinking");
}
@Override
public void onException(Throwable throwable) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i("fb login", "exception" + throwable.getLocalizedMessage());
}
@Override
public void onFail(String reason) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i("fb login", "failed: " + reason);
}
};
mSimpleFacebook.login(onLoginListener);
}
});
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mSimpleFacebook = SimpleFacebook.getInstance(this);
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
mSimpleFacebook.onActivityResult(this, requestCode, resultCode, data);
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
And this is what shows up in the error log when i press the button:
03-19 17:01:53.537: I/fb login(31226): Logged in
03-19 17:01:53.647: D/OpenGLRenderer(31226): Flushing caches (mode 1)
03-19 17:01:53.957: D/OpenGLRenderer(31226): Flushing caches (mode 0)
03-19 17:02:05.527: I/fb post(31226): failed: Canceled by user
EDIT: I tried again the next day (before making any changes) and the log showed that the post was successful. However, the facebook account I am using to develop with is a business account and I do not know where the feed got posted to.
As sromku suggested I put the app in live mode to test with a normal facebook account. I am still receiving the "Canceled by user" error. however, when I checked my wall the post was there as expected. My question now is am I doing something wrong to receive this error or is it just an error showing up when it is not supposed to.
