I like to integrate Facebook, twitter and Google plus to my app, so that using the app, user can update their status. Therefore I like to know how this can be done.
Thanks
I would highly recommend not to use those SDK since they contain a lot of bugs, and are not very reliable as far as I've seen.
If you just want to share simple text from your app to Facebook or Twitter and so on... I would recommend to create a chooser to let the user pick which app from his phone he wants to user for sharing. It is simpler, more reliable and more the 'android way' of doing it.
Here is the code that you have to write :
Intent shareIntent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"I want to share this with you!");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Great Post");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share..."));
As for facebook and twitter, you can do this through their API. For facebook, fortunately they have provide android developer with facebook sdk for android, example included on the SDK.
And for Twitter you can use external libraries as written on twitter developer docs, and there is a library called Twitter4J that is android ready.
Unfortunately Google Plus API are not available yet.
Now you can try this library: https://github.com/antonkrasov/AndroidSocialNetworks
It's very easy to use:
mSocialNetworkManager = (SocialNetworkManager) getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(SOCIAL_NETWORK_TAG);
if (mSocialNetworkManager == null) {
mSocialNetworkManager = SocialNetworkManager.Builder.from(getActivity())
.twitter(<< TWITTER API TOKEN >>, << TWITTER API SECRET >>)
.linkedIn(<< LINKED_IN API TOKEN >>, << LINKED_IN API TOKEN >>, "r_basicprofile+rw_nus+r_network+w_messages")
.facebook()
.googlePlus()
.build();
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(mSocialNetworkManager, SOCIAL_NETWORK_TAG).commit();
}
...
mSocialNetworkManager.getTwitterSocialNetwork().requestLogin(new OnLoginCompleteListener() {
@Override
public void onLoginSuccess(int socialNetworkID) {
}
@Override
public void onError(int socialNetworkID, String requestID, String errorMessage, Object data) {
}
});
