the Social Plugin to share score ( Numbers )

sobh · July 19, 2015, 10:15pm

Hi i am using the the Social Plugin to share my app on android, and it works with most of installed program sharing message , URL and also the image of my app,

but i cant make it work to share the score of the player

the scores is stored in the doc directory using json .

and when i try to add the score to the MSG , it game me err like you are trying to add number to str , i tried also to convert the numbers to str using toString() but still not working

here is the func

 local ScoreToShareNO = myData.settings.HighScore local StarsToShareNO = myData.settings.levels.stars local ScoreToShareStr= tostring(ScoreToShareNO) local StarsToShareStr= tostring(StarsToShareNO) local function onShareButtonReleased( event ) local serviceName = event.target.id local isAvailable = native.canShowPopup( popupName, serviceName ) -- For demonstration purposes, we set isAvailable to true here for Android. if "Android" == system.getInfo( "platformName" ) then isAvailable = true end -- If it is possible to show the popup if isAvailable then local listener = {} function listener:popup( event ) print( "name(" .. event.name .. ") type(" .. event.type .. ") action(" .. tostring(event.action) .. ") limitReached(" .. tostring(event.limitReached) .. ")" ) end local options = {} options.service = serviceName options.listener = listener if sendMessage then options.message = {("Share this game your friends!, and check my Score"),StarsToShareStr,ScoreToShareStr} end if sendURL then options.url = { "http://www.coronalabs.com" } end if sendImage then options.image = { { filename = "Icon-xhdpi.png", baseDir = system.ResourceDirectory }, } end --sceneGroup:insert(options) -- Show the popup native.showPopup( popupName, options ) else if isSimulator then native.showAlert( "Build for device", "This plugin is not supported on the Corona Simulator, please build for an iOS/Android device or the Xcode simulator", { "OK" } ) else -- Popup isn't available.. Show error message native.showAlert( "Cannot send " .. serviceName .. " message.", "Please setup your " .. serviceName .. " account or check your network connection (on android this means that the package/app (ie Twitter) is not installed on the device)", { "OK" } ) end end end

i tried so many combinations but i couldn’t get it work

if sendMessage then &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; options.message = {("Share this game your friends!, and check my Score"),StarsToShareStr,ScoreToShareStr} end

should be:

if sendMessage then &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; options.message = { "Share this game your friends!, and check my Stars: " .. StarsToShareStr .. " and Score: " ..&nbsp; ScoreToShareStr } end

Thanks Rob

but this didn’t work . it didn’t give err , but it didn’t share the score , and even it completely ignored the whole message

i used print to print the StarsToShareStr and it printing the StarsToShareStr to the terminal

but when i try to share the message , it didn’t show any thing

Can you show the code around where you are setting the value of “sendMessage”?

acualy i change the code a bit becuase i dont want to have all that share buttons ( fb,twitter,etc ) as this will be for android so i just edit and use the function as tap listener for shareButton in the main menu

local function onShareButtonReleased( event ) local serviceName = event.target.id local isAvailable = native.canShowPopup( popupName, serviceName ) local options = {} options.service = serviceName options.listener = listener options.message = { "Share this game your friends!, and check my Stars: " .. StarsToShareStr .. " and Score: " .. ScoreToShareStr } options.url = { "http://www.coronalabs.com" } options.image = { { filename = "Icon-xhdpi.png", baseDir = system.ResourceDirectory }, } native.showPopup( popupName, options ) print(ScoreToShareStr) end

if i only used

options.message = "Share this game your friends!, and check my Stars: "

then it show this message and share it , but if i added the above one . it didnot show any thing , instead i can print the score and the stars to the terminal without issue

i already declared and get the stars and the sore using myData File and add it just after the create Scene Function , and it works fine when i print it

myData.settings = loadsave.loadTable( "settings.json" ) local ScoreToShareNO = myData.settings.HighScore local StarsToShareNO = myData.settings.levels local ScoreToShareStr= tostring(ScoreToShareNO) local StarsToShareStr= tostring(StarsToShareNO)

Are you getting an error?

You can also put in some print statements in to check the values of what you’re expecting. You can use a table printing function (see: to print out myData.settings to make sure of what you’re actually reading from.

Yes Rob the

print(ScoreToShareStr)

in the above function prints exactly what Score is in the MyData File , and there is no err , i used also the debugger in my android device and i didnot get any err

Well without seeing more code, and looking at your local variables being indented, are they inside some other function or re they sitting at the top in the scene’s main chunk?

If they are in another function, you could have a scope issue…
