caution

Vkontakte needs additional permissions for sending posts.

Add the following metadata to AndroidManifest.xml:

<meta-data android:name="com.platform101xp.sdk.sn_extra_permission"
    android:value="true"/>

Facebook Posts​

info
In your manifest
<provider android:authorities="com.facebook.app.FacebookContentProvider*APP_ID*"
    android:name="com.facebook.FacebookContentProvider"
    android:exported="true"/>

android:exported="true"/> - very important for send PhotoPost

Facebook work logic. Facebook posts are made only with a picture or with a link and a description (it is possible without a description). The algorithm is as follows:

  • If a link is specified in com.facebook.sdk.fbPost[index].Img (url to image), then a dialog box for sharing this image will open.
  • If com.facebook.sdk.fbPost[index].Img == "" then it checks if there is a link in com.facebook.sdk.fbPost1.Url then a window will open to share the link. if there is com.facebook.sdk.fbPost[index].Text then a description will be added to the link.

Usage​

To send a post from your application, use the following function to send a post by id, the post will go to the social network in which the user is currently authorized.

// Java
Platform101XP.sendSocialPost(id);
// Kotlin
Platform101XP.sendSocialPost(id)
info

Where id is a post id (id >= 0 and id < PostCount)
