Facebook issue?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I am trying to integrate facebook, i’m simply running the facebook sample app and it doesn’t work. Basically it just starts up with the facebook connect graphic then it goes black. (this is after i plug in my credentials, before I do that it starts up and links me to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web).

I created a new account with an app_id and secret, i dont see any reference to api_key on that link. Is it going black because my credentials are wrong? or some other issue with the app in beta 4? Is the app_id the new way of saying api_key? if not where would i get that key? thanks! [import]uid: 6317 topic_id: 1102 reply_id: 301102[/import]

I did get an api_key, but the app is still doing same thing. going black immediately after the first image loads up. [import]uid: 6317 topic_id: 1102 reply_id: 2804[/import]

As you can see in another post: http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2010/05/22/facebook-sample-strange-behaviors, the code has some strange behaviors associated with. What I found was that the black screen happens while app is connecting with Facebook. If some error occurs during connection, your app pretty much freezes as this is a synchronous http request.

but it does this everytime i referesh it and it stays black forever. I’ve yet to see it do anything different. Is there a fix in the works? or something I can do about it? [import]uid: 6317 topic_id: 1102 reply_id: 2807[/import]

now it looks like the buttons load, but clicking does nothing. no errors, just nothing [import]uid: 6317 topic_id: 1102 reply_id: 2814[/import]

Can you send your app folder to beta@anscamobile.com and reference this thread? [import]uid: 3007 topic_id: 1102 reply_id: 2816[/import]

this happen to me in every even tentative I do (for example, it works first time I shared info, but not the second time I want to share - i click and i get the black screen for a few seconds and no updates on Facebook - although the black screen returns to my app screen after a few seconds. my third tentative works, my forth follows the second tentative model, and so on.

it seems some variables or the connection stays opened after the first sending. the second one in someway closes it (instead of re-open and send again).

sorry i can provide you a solution.

Any updates on this? I’m experiencing the same problem posted by jwwtaker.

UPDATE: My problem was I was trying to run the sample app on the simulator. I ran it using XCode simulator, and it worked. [import]uid: 7026 topic_id: 1102 reply_id: 5296[/import]

The facebook sample code doesn’t work in the Corona simulator, do you experience issues with it in the xcode simulator or on a device? [import]uid: 3 topic_id: 1102 reply_id: 5347[/import]
