Kivy + Facebook SDK

Features:

• post to timeline
• image post with description
• uses toasts and netcheck to make UX better

Install

Pre-built application in /bin adb install -r /bin/FacebookExample-0.1-debug-unaligned.apk

Build

The documentation for creating a Facebook application and several other can be found here:

http://kivy.org/planet/2013/08/using-facebook-sdk-with-python-for-android-kivy/

This example works only on Android. There is a mock module to aid with development.

Create debug hash key (default debug key password is android)::

# with shell script
./base64sig.sh
# will get debug key.  password is android
# to get production sig:
./base64sig.sh mykestore.keystore

# manually
keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore \ 
    ~/.android/debug.keystore  | openssl sha1 -binary | openssl base64

• Make Facebook SDK project data cd ~/my/facebook/dir/../facebook android update project -p .

Copy the browser.sh to a P4A dist then run: facebook.sh my/path/to/src/ If it doesn't work, edit facebook.sh to configure P4A to build this. Need PyJNIus in your dist.

Issues:

• W/fb4a:fb:OrcaServiceQueue(28514): com.facebook.orca.protocol.base.ApiException: The proxied app is not already installed.

  -> ?, doesn't seem dangerous.

• In FB SDK 3.5: You need to modify the java or else crash every time you make a session change 821-2 in AuthorizationClient.java to:

  ""+intent.getIntExtra(NativeProtocol.EXTRA_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 0)); //intent.getStringExtra(NativeProtocol.EXTRA_PROTOCOL_VERSION));

• In FB SDK 3.5.2 this is already fixed
