Social Popups not working

Daniel_W · October 7, 2013, 11:17pm

Hello!

I didn’t where to post this, so I posted in the newbie section. I’m using the native.showPopup(“social”, options) for my latest game on Amazon and when I touch the button on my Kindle that calls onFacebookTouch, a popup comes up and says ‘Share via: No applications can perform this action.’

I do have android.permission.INTERNET in my build.settings file and below is the code I’m using (its from the sample code). I also do have the Facebook app installed on my kindle.

Has anyone else ran into this problem?

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;local function onFacebookTouch(event) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;if(event.phase == "began") then&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;local options = { &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; service = "facebook", &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; message = "I need help! Do you know what "..user.currentAnswerLength.." letter word brings together "..user.currentWords.."? #JustFourWords", &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; listener = eventListener, &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; url = "http://thatssopanda.com" &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;} &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;native.showPopup( "social", options ) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;end &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;end

I wanted to add, the popup works fine from my iPhone, just not my Kindle.

As stated in the docs, the social plugin is only available for iOS

Is there a way to post to Twitter on android devices?

As Jon said, this is currently an iOS only feature, but engineering is working on a similar plugin for Android, but in the mean time, you can look in the SampleCode in the Networking/Twitter sample app and use techniques from it to post your own posts to twitter.

Thank you for the assistance! I didn’t realize that Corona provided Twitter sample code. Once I looked at the code, I was able to get Twitter working in my app.
