Adding the Facebook Like Button in an iPhone App

Question

Does anyone know how I would include a facbeook "like button" in an iphone app. I tried calling the iframe inside of a UIWebView but that doesn't work.

Check out this nice bit of code: http://angelolloqui.blogspot.com/2010/11/facebook-like-button-on-ios.html

Add the FBLikeButton class to your view:

FBLikeButton *likeButton = [[FBLikeButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 372, 320, 44)       
andUrl:@"http://www.facebook.com/pages/De-Zilk/108209735867960"];

Thanks a lot Angel García Olloqui

EDIT: Nice to add... For bonus points:
If you use above method the webpage is not well formatted for an iPhone. What you can do is run some JavaScript code to remove all the disturbing divs. Use this (long sentence):

  [_webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"javascript:document.getElementsByClassName('uiButton')[2].style.visibility='hidden';var child1 = document.getElementById('standard_status');var parent1 = document.getElementById('login_form');parent1.removeChild(child1);var child2 = document.getElementById('pageheader');var parent2 = document.getElementById('booklet');parent2.removeChild(child2);document.getElementById('loginform').style.width = '200px';var child3 = document.getElementById('reg_btn_link');var parent3 = document.getElementsByClassName('register_link')[0];parent3.removeChild(child3);var child4 = document.getElementById('signup_area');var parent4 = document.getElementById('login_form');parent4.removeChild(child4);var child5 = document.getElementsByClassName('mbm')[0];var parent5 = document.getElementById('loginform');parent5.removeChild(child5);var child6 = document.getElementsByClassName('reset_password form_row')[0];var parent6 = document.getElementById('loginform');parent6.removeChild(child6);var child7 = document.getElementsByClassName('persistent')[0];var parent7 = document.getElementById('loginform');parent7.removeChild(child7);"]];

You can place it in the delegate method webViewDidFinishLoad from the FBDialog Facebook class.
