Facebook sample strange behaviors

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hello all,

I am checking the Facebook sample code (as part of my app) and, although it works most time, I have noticed the following issues:

  • sometimes it sends the information (web overlay blinks twice), sometimes not (web overlay blinks quickly)
  • most times, when it sends, it sends the posting twice
  • in the login page (which comes in full screen), when I enter data into the fields username and password, the page information/fields “retracts”. Also, the keyboard does not “zoom in” the keys, when I am entering the data.
  • sometimes, I got a Facebook error (not connected) but there is no way to return to my app, as the web ovelay is in full screen mode - I replace it for a window size one but, there is still no way to remove it;
  • lastly, even clicking the Remind me checkbox, it keeps asking my password anytime I return (I observed in other apps that they save also the password) - any ways to save the password too?

Have you noticed that too? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Related questions:

  • the code has a printTable function. how to use this, considering there is no console to receive the “prints” coming from the function?
  • in a real life app, how should I inform the user the posting is being sent? Should I use another html page? I tried an alert but it didn’t worked.

Thanks in advance!

Things are even worse now. don’t know why but neither my app or the Facebook sample can connect to Facebook anymore (I even tried to change the API_key). After the login, a Facebook error html appears…

[update] it seems the Facebook error pages happened due server issues at Facebook. the connection returned yesterday afternoon. [import]uid: 4883 topic_id: 1041 reply_id: 2561[/import]

I’m having this same issue in iPhone 4:

  • in the login page (which comes in full screen), when I enter data into the fields username and password, the page information/fields “retracts”. Also, the keyboard does not “zoom in” the keys, when I am entering the data.

Anyone have a solution?? [import]uid: 9482 topic_id: 1041 reply_id: 8404[/import]

I am having the same issue.

Furthermore, I am using webpopup pages to display help information stored in a local html file.

If you display a webpopup page then calls the facebook connection, for a second or two, the contents of your webpopup page is displayed and then the facebook login page is displayed.

Is there a cache?
