Social Plugin Answers for the blog post

Hi Rob,

Just a suggestion. Since I was searching for a quick way to login into google+ and found this excellent working sample here :

https://developer.coronalabs.com/code/google-connect#comment-form

Maybe you guys can incorporate something like this into the API, so people like me will benefit from it.

Thanks

Thanks for the submission @yosu.  I would suggest that you use our feature request system at:  http://feedback.coronalabs.com and put in the request there and point to your project.  G+ is becoming a more important service and I’m sure more developers would like to support it.  Google Play Game Services needs it for match making I think, so make the request and lets see what comes from it. 

Using native.canShowPopup() to determine if the feature should be enabled is not a very good idea, because from my testing, if the user doesn’t have a Facebook or Twitter account setup in his/her iOS device,

 

native.canShowPopup() returns FALSE

 

however, the user still can use the feature (the popup will prompt the user that the account has not been configured and offer a setting button for configuration)

I cant get this to work Brent url=[http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/41651-post-image-to-facebook-from-systemtemporarydirectory/]go to the link[/url]

Does this work with adHoc builds.  When I run it in the simulator my twitter button  will say “The social popup is currently not supported on this platform, please build for an iOS device”.  When I build on my device I hit the twitter button and nothing happens.  I also tried it with Facebook and nothing happens when I press button.  What could I be doing wrong?

Are you logged into to Twitter and Facebook from the Settings screen in iOS7? 

Are you seeing any errors in your console log?  Have you put in any print statements to make sure your buttons are firing correctly?  And have you tried the sample app?  https://github.com/coronalabs/plugins-sample-native-popup-social

Hello, I’ve tried to build sample app on Android ver 4.4.2 (Nexus 5) on Corona ver 2014.2185 and when i tap I tap on "Show Share

Popup" button, Error Popup with following text appears:

Cannot send share mesage

Please setup your share account or check your network connection (on android this means that the package/app (ie Twitter) is not installed on the device)

However, I can share from other apps via android “share” functionality, and yes twitter app is installed and configured on my phone and yes i’ve network connection.

Any ideas?

Can I get you to file a bug report.  You will need to provide a project and you can just zip up the sample and upload it.  Please post the bug number back here when you get the email.
