I want to know how to post a status message to Facebook on iOS 6 using the new frameworks on Xcode 4.5. Thanks! :)
Posting a message is rather simple. It's almost like with the Twitter Framework.
First you have to import the Frameworks: Social and Accounts
#import <Social/Social.h>
#import <Accounts/Accounts.h>
In your .h file:
SLComposeViewController *mySLComposerSheet;
This code has to be included inside your action in your .m file:
if([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook]) //check if Facebook Account is linked
{
mySLComposerSheet = [[SLComposeViewController alloc] init]; //initiate the Social Controller
mySLComposerSheet = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook]; //Tell him with what social platform to use it, e.g. facebook or twitter
[mySLComposerSheet setInitialText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Test",mySLComposerSheet.serviceType]]; //the message you want to post
[mySLComposerSheet addImage:yourimage]; //an image you could post
//for more instance methods, go here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/social/slcomposeviewcontroller#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012205
[self presentViewController:mySLComposerSheet animated:YES completion:nil];
}
[mySLComposerSheet setCompletionHandler:^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result) {
NSString *output;
switch (result) {
case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
output = @"Action Cancelled";
break;
case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:
output = @"Post Successful";
break;
default:
break;
} //check if everything worked properly. Give out a message on the state.
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Facebook" message:output delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
}];
