Sorry but most users just post their score or a simple message to twitter or FB when they have set a new highscore etc and for that there’s a buch of fully functional samples you could almost copy/paste here on the site.
I know Peach Pellen had some tutorials on how to do that on her site, she’s out forum guru and help out a lot of people.
The easiest is probably facebook since that is integrated to corona, however if you want to get your wall feed you should look at the fb developer site and check out the graph section. Facebook uses json so you can decode/encode that however you want and since both json and facebook is already built in to corona this should not be too much of a hassle.
Youtube, yuck…
I had a look at the developer site some time ago and it’s not as user friendly as this site. The problem with youtube is that you can’t get the true iOS feel when open videos because you have to exit your app every time you play a video. But there’s two ways I would suggest you could try;
1, If you don’t have too many videos on your channel, you could simply get all your URLs and link them to a tableview. I haven’t tried this and it’s not that professional and I think it’s rather ugly.
2, Since you’re an Ace with json after learning about facebook you could take option 1 but create a remote json file you can edit and update yourself, then when the user loads your app they download the json and the data gets parsed into a tableview. This is pretty much what you would do with facebook.
3, Like I said in my prev post, mobile youtube. This method is the easiest way and doesn’t exit the app. However, since you are basically just putting a web browser in the window the user can browse other youtube vids within your app.
There you have three options, I even threw one extra in…
Now, I used option 3 for an app I did a little while ago and they didn’t notice it and they probably don’t even know what it’s supposed to be like.
When you use youtube mobile, you’ll see they have a navigation bar. My first thought was that if I could position the webview at x,y = 0 then overlay my navBar they wouldn’t see the one inside youtube and therefore they would not be able to browse on youtube.
Unfortunately you can’t overlay display objects on a webview so that didn’t work. Sooner or later Ansca will probably add image overlay to webviews or some other workaround, perhaps they even integrate youtube and easy twitter?
So until then, use webview because that will give the best user experience.
