Facebook login on android

[julienw]

Haha, error reporting is "great" when it comes from android ^^

I'm using the QML interface (I know you don't). So, I need to keep the activity from Qt, it's why I need to extends the QtActivity (and I will not have only facebook in native side)
In addition, examples from digia about hangman (for paiment) and their notifications example extends the QtActivity too.
So I don't think that it's bad ;)

For the finish(), it was just the " xmlns:android" in the layout that is an error. I detected it by implementing a new application from Eclispe : it could give me error on UI where Qt don't.
So, I could have something working too ;). I can login and use the Graph API to get what I need.

The main issue for now is to keep the session open (access token is only for one hour). Do you know what we need to do? (like storing cookies in the app maybe)

Seams like we need to request a long live access token witch leasts for 60 days:

I finally got it working !!!
I was able to merge the Facebook SDK into my Android app, to get 60 day longterm accesstoken.
If someone is interested please answer me, or write me a mail. Then I'll try to prepare the code so everyone can have it :)

but despite its working, its not very nice.

Nice work schabi, you can add a link to your code here in the forums if you like?

Since a couple of days, we now also have a Facebook Qt 5 plugin ready for Android & iOS. You can have a look at the sample on github and the tutorials here:

• "How to integrate Facebook into Qt 5 Apps":http://plugins.v-play.net/blog/2014/05/integrate-facebook-in-your-qt-5-apps/
• "Tutorial & Sample Code for Facebook Login in Qt 5":http://plugins.v-play.net/blog/2014/06/how-to-benefit-from-facebook-login-in-your-qt-5-app/
• "Facebook Plugin Overview":http://plugins.v-play.net/plugins/facebook/

the_scrabi, I would really appreciate a working example to study. My desired result is to add Google Login to Qt Android app and the problem (missing webview) is fairly similar. Also could help me to resolve the Google maps integration issues.

Another good exmaple to study is probably "Qt hangman ":http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/12/12/implementing-in-app-purchase-on-android/ since it implements android in-app purchasing an that can't be too different compared to what we need to achieve.

All right I'll try to get it ready the next days. But I need to apologise, it still has some problems, and I do this in my spare time. So it will take me a few days to get it working correctly.

Also this is NOT using a Web login any more !!! Since you could only get short term access token from Web login I went over to the regular facebook sdk for android.

But if you want to do Web Login here is something that might help you:

Android Activity Doc:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html

Intent Doc (you need intent to start new activitys):
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html

QtAndroidExtras (you need it to call/run java code):
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtandroidextras-index.html

Here a link to an older example of my facebook login thing. It still uses Web login:

If something is not clear, or you still have questions feel free to mail me :)

All right i said i would need a few days. I guess I overestimated my self a bit. It now took me about two full months to get it working that prober to give it to other people. But now I also did a small documentation.
I hope it will help somebody. And if you still have questions or any wishes feel free to mail me.
