I'm trying to use a share button in my application, but it looks as if it was disabled:
I already initialize the sdk:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
}
I also have the manifest correctly configured like the documentation suggest:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/getting-started
The button in the view is like this:
<com.facebook.share.widget.ShareButton
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/share"
android:id="@+id/share_on_fb_button"
bind:onClick="shareOnFBButtonClick"/>
What could be the problem? Why is the button disabled? Should I implement login functionality in my app? Or I only need to have facebook application on the device?
See com.facebook.share.widget.ShareButtonBase:
/**
* Sets the share content on the button.
* @param shareContent The share content.
*/
public void setShareContent(final ShareContent shareContent) {
this.shareContent = shareContent;
if (!enabledExplicitlySet) {
internalSetEnabled(canShare());
}
}
Calling setShareContent to enable the shareButton, try it:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ShareButton fbShareButton = (ShareButton) findViewById(R.id.share_on_fb_button);
ShareLinkContent content = new ShareLinkContent.Builder()
.setContentUrl(Uri.parse("https://developers.facebook.com"))
.build();
fbShareButton.setShareContent(content);
}
Note:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/android
"When you implement sharing, your app should not pre-fill any content to be shared. This is inconsistent with Facebook Platform Policy, see Facebook Platform Policy, 2.3."
