Facebook Connect for Facebook

[atonical]

Hi experts and developers out there,

Have anyone tried out the facebook connect example here?
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Facebook_Connect

I tried running on desktop and it works. I tried porting it to S60.. the apps can be installed and run, but cannot really login to facebook. I am suspecting it is bcos of some openssl libraries that it requires. Which I need to install them on my desktop too.

Does symbian supports openssl? Do I need to install anything additional libraries for the openssl to work?

Hi,

Seems to work for me (tested on Qt for Symbian 4.6.2, 5800 XpressMusic), after some modifications. SSL support on Symbian comes from Open C, so you don't need to worry about any additional libraries.

Here's what I changed:

qfacebookconnect.pro: added the following:

symbian: {
  INCLUDEPATH += /epoc32/include/stdapis
  TARGET.CAPABILITY = LocalServices ReadUserData WriteUserData UserEnvironment NetworkServices Location 
  TARGET.EPOCALLOWDLLDATA = 1
  }

Above, I added all the capabilities that you can use with self-signed sis packages.

To test with the 'sample' app provided, I modified it as well:

sample.pro: add the following:

symbian: {
  INCLUDEPATH += /epoc32/include/stdapis
  TARGET.CAPABILITY = NetworkServices
  LIBS += -lqfacebookconnect
  fbclib.sources = qfacebookconnect.dll
  fbclib.sources.path = \sys\bin
  DEPLOYMENT += fbclib
}

This will deploy the DLL along with the test app.

To make the app more usable in an S60 device (at least in landscape), I also modified main.cpp:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
#ifdef Q_OS_SYMBIAN
    QApplication::setAttribute (Qt::AA_S60DontConstructApplicationPanes);
#endif
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
#ifdef Q_OS_SYMBIAN
    w.showFullScreen();
#else
    w.show();
#endif
    return a.exec();
}

Thats really helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Hi,
i tried to build the sample-example of QFacebookconnect for S60 SDK in Carbide/Creator, but building for the emulator throws the following error

Specified file '\S60\devices\Nokia_N97_SDK_v1.0\epoc32\release\WINSCW\udeb\qfacebookconnect.lib' not found

and for the device

\S60\devices\Nokia_N97_SDK_v1.0\epoc32\release\armv5\LIB\qfacebookconnect.dso: No such file: No such file or directory

I added the points in qfacebookconnect.pro and sample.pro. Have I missed something?

You'll have to build the library before you can build the test app. After modifying qfacebookconnect.pro, try the following:

qmake
make release-gcce
abld freeze gcce
make release-gcce    (yes, for a 2nd time - this will generate the import libraries after the dll has been frozen)

and the same for emulator (debug-winscw)

I still can't get the sample working. Have done the steps as stated by treinio. The sample can run on the phone, but nothing happens when I login to facebook and get all my friends. There is simply no response. I also do not know if I have login to facebook successfully.

Hi to All,

Thanks a lot.

@earendil:
you can download it from git on the right side -> download master
http://gitorious.org/qfacebookconnec...t/trees/master

@atonical:
the sample app runs on my phone, but like yours, it is not connecting successfully (or the signal sessionDidLogin is not emitted). The messagebox with the FBUid doesn't appear. When i get all my friends, the debugger throws an error with the errorcode 104 - "Incorrect signature".

Most of the changes suggested by treinio have now been taken into the master branch.
So now it should compile without any problems. I have tried it with Qt 4.6.2 for Symbian and Nokia Symbian 5.0 SDK.

The sample logs in successfully and query can be made, however the Qt dialogs on Symbian behave a bit differently, this will be sorted out soon.

can anyone download the master from git? I can't seem to download. It says "Malformed response in ref list: <head>"

hi digital surgeon,

is there anything else you did in order to get the sample working? like capabilties or something? I can install the new sample on the phone but the app cannot start up.

Hi all,
tried to build and run the sample app with Qt 4.6.2 for Symbian on my nokia 5530..i have installed trk..it gives the error-Could not read template package file from the debug folder.
Checked the debug folder..its empty.Am i supposed to copy something there? What is the procedure to run it on my phone?
