I have this code that can't send a Facebook request until now.
NSDictionary *firstDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"image", @"Type",
@"http://mysite.com/image.jpg", @"src",
@"http://mysite.com/page.html", @"href",
nil];
NSDictionary *secondDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"image", @"Type",
@"http://mysite.com/image.jpg", @"src",
@"http://mysite.com/page.html", @"href",
nil];
NSArray *mediaArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:firstDict, secondDict, nil];
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"name", @"description", @"href", @"media", nil];
NSArray *objects = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[NSString stringWithString:@"MyTitle"],
[NSString stringWithString:@"My caption"],
[NSString stringWithString:@"http://mysite.com/page.html"], mediaArray, nil];
NSDictionary *attachment = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:objects forKeys:keys];
[[FBRequest requestWithDelegate:self] call:@"facebook.stream.publish" params:attachment];
I took this sample : http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?pid=145965
But every time I run it, the console shows the following:
{
"api_key" = adc8d70987098sdc;
"call_id" = 23456767;
description = "Any user's description";
format = XML;
href = "http://mysite.com/page.html";
media = (
{
Type = image;
href = "http://mysite.com/page.html";
src = "http://mysite.com/image.jpg";
},
{
Type = image;
href = "http://mysite.com/page.html";
src = "http://mysite.com/image.jpg";
}
);
method = "Facebook.streamPublish";
name = aName;
"session_key" = "d0f98bfs89b7fg7v";
sig = 89v0d9fv879fgv;
ss = 1;
v = "1.0"; }
It shows parentheses for array instead brackets, is that normal?.
Then it displays the error:
*** -[NSCFArray dataUsingEncoding:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance
0x12fcb0 2009-10-30 13:54:27.758 GeoPixr[307:207]
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason:
*** -[NSCFArray dataUsingEncoding:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x12fcb0
The [session resume] call returns TRUE.
Thanks in advance.
If you're using latest iOS SDK For Facebook then using the below method you can publish image as a stream.
- (IBAction) publishStream: (id)sender {
SBJSON *jsonWriter = [[SBJSON new] autorelease];
NSDictionary* actionLinks = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"Always Running",@"text",@"http://thinkdiff.net",@"href", nil], nil];
NSString *actionLinksStr = [jsonWriter stringWithObject:actionLinks];
NSDictionary* imageShare = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"image", @"type",
@"http://thinkdiff.net/mahmud_small.jpg", @"src",
@"http://thinkdiff.net", @"href",
nil];
NSDictionary* attachment = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"a long run", @"name",
@"The Facebook Running app", @"caption",
@"it is fun", @"description",
@"http://itsti.me/", @"href",
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:imageShare, nil ], @"media",
nil];
NSString *attachmentStr = [jsonWriter stringWithObject:attachment];
NSLog(attachmentStr);
NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
kAppId, @"api_key",
@"Share on Facebook", @"user_message_prompt",
actionLinksStr, @"action_links",
attachmentStr, @"attachment",
nil];
[_facebook dialog: @"stream.publish"
andParams: params
andDelegate:self];
}
The image part should be another NSDictionary object.
NSDictionary* imageShare = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"image", @"type",
@"http://thinkdiff.net/mahmud_small.jpg", @"src",
@"http://thinkdiff.net", @"href",
nil];
And in the attachment NSDictionary object must include imageShare object as array
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:imageShare, nil ]
This is because if you not include this as an array, Json parser avoid [] brackets as a result the publish functionality will not work. Remember the string needs to be a valid JSON string otherwise facebook api will not publish.
I couldn't find a way to send the dictionary with an array but there's another class that works for me:
FBStreamDialog
Which brings up a dialog before it sends the information and it's delegate methods lets you know about changes.
dataUsingEncoding:
is a NSString
method, so presumably, some object is expecting an instance of NSString
where you passed an array. I presume that FBRequest cannot deal with the array you included in the attachment
dictionary.
I modified your example a little and it works. Here's the working code:
NSString *att = @"{\"name\":\"i\'m bursting with joy\",\"caption\": \"User rated the lolcat 5 stars\", \"description\": \"a funny looking cat\"}";
NSDictionary *attachment = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:att forKey:@"attachment"];
[[FBRequest requestWithDelegate:self] call:@"facebook.stream.publish" params:attachment];
