Facebook sdk post on wall on iPhone app

Question

I have a problem with implementing Facebook posting on wall in my iPhone application. I installed SDK and linked framework login is working fine. here's the code:

-(IBAction)loginButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
    NSLog(@"loginButtonPressed: called");

    AppDelegate *appdel=[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
    appdel.facebookSession=[[FBSession alloc] init];
    [appdel.facebookSession openWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSession *session, 
                                                     FBSessionState status, 
                                                     NSError *error)
    {
        //
    }];
}

But I have a problem with posting message on user's wall. Here's the code:

-(IBAction)likeButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
    NSLog(@"likeButtonPressed: called");
    // Post a status update to the user's feedm via the Graph API, and display an alert view 
    // with the results or an error.

    NSString *message = @"test message";
    NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:message forKey:@"message"];

    // use the "startWith" helper static on FBRequest to both create and start a request, with
    // a specified completion handler.
    [FBRequest startWithGraphPath:@"me/feed"
                       parameters:params
                       HTTPMethod:@"POST"
                completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {

                    [self showAlert:message result:result error:error];
                }];

}

Help me please. What's wrong with my code? Or should I add some permissions to login request?

Answer 1

this code worked for me. First we must

#import <FBiOSSDK/FacebookSDK.h>

then

@property (strong, nonatomic) FBRequestConnection *requestConnection;

and of course do not forget to synthesize:

@synthesize requestConnection;

the code itself:

-(IBAction)likeButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
    NSLog(@"likeButtonPressed: called");
    // FBSample logic
    // Check to see whether we have already opened a session.
    if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen)
    {
        // login is integrated with the send button -- so if open, we send
        [self postOnWall];
    }
    else
    {
        [FBSession sessionOpenWithPermissions:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"publish_stream", nil]
                                completionHandler:
             ^(FBSession *session, 
               FBSessionState status, 
               NSError *error)
            {
                 // if login fails for any reason, we alert
                 if (error)
                 {
                     NSLog(@"    login failed");
                     UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error"
                                                                     message:error.localizedDescription
                                                                    delegate:nil
                                                           cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                                           otherButtonTitles:nil];
                     [alert show];
                     // if otherwise we check to see if the session is open, an alternative to
                     // to the FB_ISSESSIONOPENWITHSTATE helper-macro would be to check the isOpen
                     // property of the session object; the macros are useful, however, for more
                     // detailed state checking for FBSession objects
                 }
                 else if (FB_ISSESSIONOPENWITHSTATE(status))
                 {
                     NSLog(@"    sending post on wall request...");
                     // send our requests if we successfully logged in
