Access Facebook

Social Media

I have create a Facbook account for my game.

I want that there will be a simple link from my corona game just to go to the FB account.

What is the simple way to do it ?

Thanks

Hi Yuval,

Do you simply want to open the FB page in the device’s web browser?

Hi Brent,

Looking for 2 ways:

  1. Simply want to open the FB page in the device’s web browser

  2. Also what does it mean to open the FB app (if install one on the device)

Hi @yuval_forish,

For #1, it’s relatively simple: just use the system.openURL() API:

https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/system/openURL.html

Alternatively, you could open the page using the Safari View, available for iOS 9.x+

https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/CoronaProvider_native_popup_safariView/index.html

As for #2, reading the guide would be your first step, but it sounds like full implementation of Facebook is more than you need, so it might not even be necessary for you to proceed down this path:

Hope this helps,

Brent
