How to share post in facebook by using Xamarin Forms - facebook-graph-api

Question

I'm currently working on Xamarin and I'm confused with the facebook sharing option in xamarin forms particularly in Xamarin Android the IOS code is
public void ShareOnFacebook(IFacebookDelegate pDele)
{
string[] perm = {"publish_actions"};
if (AccessToken.CurrentAccessToken == null || !AccessToken.CurrentAccessToken.HasGranted("publish_actions"))
{
UIViewController mainController = UIApplication.SharedApplication.KeyWindow.RootViewController;
_manager.LogInWithPublishPermissions(perm, mainController, (result, error) =>
{
if (error != null || result.IsCancelled)
{
}
else {
ShareNow();
}
});
} else {
ShareNow();
}
}
The only thing which stops me is Xamarin Android facebook post sharing.
Can anyone modify this code according to Xamarin Android Or share his/her own code .

Answer 1

I have implemented share for twitter and fb .
iOS version
you can share using native social services from ios and if not available use
OAuth2Authenticator to get access token then post using FB graph
public void ShareViaSocial(string serviceType, string urlToShare)
{
socialKind = serviceType == "Twitter" ? SLServiceKind.Twitter : SLServiceKind.Facebook;
if (SLComposeViewController.IsAvailable(socialKind))
{
_socialComposer = serviceType == "Twitter" ? SLComposeViewController.FromService(SLServiceType.Twitter) : SLComposeViewController.FromService(SLServiceType.Facebook);
_socialComposer.AddUrl(new Uri(urlToShare));
viewController.PresentViewController(_socialComposer, true, () =>
{
_socialComposer.CompletionHandler += (result) =>
{
Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
{
viewController.DismissViewController(true, null);
if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResult.Done)
{ OnShare(this, ShareStatus.Successful); }
else
{ OnShare(this, ShareStatus.NotSuccessful); }
});
};
});
}
//If user doest have fb app and no credential for social services we use fb graph
else if (socialKind == SLServiceKind.Facebook)
{
var auth = new OAuth2Authenticator(
clientId: SharedConstants.FacebookLiveClientId,
scope: SharedConstants.FacebookScopes,
authorizeUrl: new Uri(SharedConstants.FacebookAuthorizeUrl),
redirectUrl: new Uri(SharedConstants.FacebookRedirectUrl));
viewController.PresentViewController((UIViewController)auth.GetUI(), true, null);
auth.AllowCancel = true;
auth.Completed += (s, e) =>
{
//hide the webpage after completed login
viewController.DismissViewController(true, null);
// We presented the UI, so it's up to us to dimiss it on iOS.
if (e.IsAuthenticated)
{
Account fbAccount = e.Account;
Dictionary<string, string> dictionaryParameters = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "link", urlToShare } };
var requestUrl = new Uri("https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed");
var request = new OAuth2Request(SharedConstants.requestMethodPOST, requestUrl, dictionaryParameters, fbAccount);
request.GetResponseAsync().ContinueWith(this.requestResult);
}
else { OnShare(this, ShareStatus.NotSuccessful); }
};
auth.Error += Auth_Error;
}
//If user doest have twitter app and no credential for social services we use xanarub auth for token and call twitter api for sending tweets
else
{
var auth = new OAuth1Authenticator(
SharedConstants.TwitterConsumerKey,
SharedConstants.TwitterConsumerSecret,
new Uri(SharedConstants.TwitterRequestUrl),
new Uri(SharedConstants.TwitterAuth),
new Uri(SharedConstants.TwitterAccessToken),
new Uri(SharedConstants.TwitterCallBackUrl));
auth.AllowCancel = true;
// auth.ShowUIErrors = false;
// If authorization succeeds or is canceled, .Completed will be fired.
auth.Completed += (s, e) =>
{
// We presented the UI, so it's up to us to dismiss it.
viewController.DismissViewController(true, null);
if (e.IsAuthenticated)
{
Account twitterAccount = e.Account;
Dictionary<string, string> dictionaryParameters = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "status", urlToShare } };
var request = new OAuth1Request(SharedConstants.requestMethodPOST, new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json"), dictionaryParameters, twitterAccount);
//for testing var request = new OAuth1Request("GET",new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account/verify_credentials.json "),null, twitterAccount);
request.GetResponseAsync().ContinueWith(this.requestResult);
}
else { OnShare(this, ShareStatus.NotSuccessful); }
};
auth.Error += Auth_Error;
//auth.IsUsingNativeUI = true;
viewController.PresentViewController((UIViewController)auth.GetUI(), true, null);
}
}
Android version
You can use native facebook ShareDialog and if isn't available use OAuth2Authenticator to get access token then post using FB graph
and using OAuth1Authenticator for posing on twitter
public void ShareViaSocial(string serviceType, string urlToShare)
{
ShareDialog di = new ShareDialog(MainActivity.Instance);
var facebookShareContent = new ShareLinkContent.Builder();
facebookShareContent.SetContentUrl(Android.Net.Uri.Parse(urlToShare));
if (serviceType == "Facebook")
{
if (di.CanShow(facebookShareContent.Build(), ShareDialog.Mode.Automatic))
{
di.Show(facebookShareContent.Build());
}
else
{
var auth = new OAuth2Authenticator(
clientId: 'ClientId',
scope: "public_profile,publish_actions",
authorizeUrl: new Uri("https://m.facebook.com/dialog/oauth/"),
redirectUrl: new Uri( "http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html"));
MainActivity.Instance.StartActivity(auth.GetUI(MainActivity.Instance.ApplicationContext));
auth.AllowCancel = true;
auth.Completed += (s, e) =>
{
if (e.IsAuthenticated)
{
Account fbAccount = e.Account;
Dictionary<string, string> dictionaryParameters = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "link", urlToShare } };
var requestUrl = new Uri("https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed");
var request = new OAuth2Request(SharedConstants.requestMethodPOST, requestUrl, dictionaryParameters, fbAccount);
request.GetResponseAsync().ContinueWith(this.requestResult);
}
else { OnShare(this, ShareStatus.NotSuccessful); }
};
auth.Error += Auth_Error;
}
}
else
{
var auth = new OAuth1Authenticator(
'TwitterConsumerKey',
'TwitterConsumerSecret',
new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token"),
new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize"),
new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token"),
new Uri('TwitterCallBackUrl'));
auth.AllowCancel = true;
// auth.ShowUIErrors = false;
// If authorization succeeds or is canceled, .Completed will be fired.
auth.Completed += (s, e) =>
{
// We presented the UI, so it's up to us to dismiss it.
if (e.IsAuthenticated)
{
Account twitterAccount = e.Account;
Dictionary<string, string> dictionaryParameters = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "status", urlToShare } };
var request = new OAuth1Request(SharedConstants.requestMethodPOST, new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json"), dictionaryParameters, twitterAccount);
//for testing var request = new OAuth1Request("GET",new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account/verify_credentials.json "),null, twitterAccount);
request.GetResponseAsync().ContinueWith(this.requestResult);
}
else { OnShare(this, ShareStatus.NotSuccessful); }
};
auth.Error += Auth_Error;
//auth.IsUsingNativeUI = true;
MainActivity.Instance.StartActivity(auth.GetUI(MainActivity.Instance.ApplicationContext));
}
}
