Why use the twitter Code (sample code with app ID) versus the simpler web popup?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

My question speaks for itself. I am starting integrating twitter in my app (simply score posting and maybe later screen shots posting) and was wondering if there is any reason not to use the web pop since it is so easy to implement? Am I missing something if I use the web pop? Of course I will need to deal with the closing of the popup. I guess an external button with a cancel webpopup will do it…

Thanks for any suggestions.

Ok, here a little survey:

QUESTION: Which method are you personally using?

1- Web popup (simple way)

2- The twitter sample code that come with the build (needs twitter keys)

THANKS!

I am in the process of integrating social in my game and would LOVE to know what you guys suggest. Simple webpopup method for twitter/Facebook or the more advance method included in the daily builds example codes?

THANKS!

I used to use the popup method and haven’t played with the newest Twitter samples but as far as Facebook is concerned I’d definitely recommend using the “new” method with SSO.

Hi,

The twitter example on daily builds does actually use a web popup.

Is there a way to fit the popup in a sort of “window” with a close button and so or I have to deal with that myself?

Hey AngelPou-

Like I said I haven’t yet looked at the latest Twitter sample but if it’s using the pop up method then you can position and size the window, yes - see here: http://developer.anscamobile.com/reference/index/nativeshowwebpopup

For a close button you’d just add your own tied to this API; http://developer.anscamobile.com/reference/index/nativecancelwebpopup

Thanks guys! Sorry for the delay. Yes it is easy to add a “close” button and use the cancel webpopup as Peach suggests.
