Not working with android facebook

[Stiofan]

added text, image and url and when i click facebook nothing appears, it's just a new blank post.

[leecrossley]

Facebook message text for android is no longer possible, you can share a url or an image but not both. This is a limitation imposed by Facebook, not the plugin.

[Stiofan]

So what is the one that breaks it? Can you not tell the script to only give FB the url and ignore the text because at the moment it tries to share nothing.

[loicfavory]

You have to modify the plugin to deal with Facebook.
If you're sharing an Intent with Facebook, you have to pass the URL in the Intent.EXTRA_TEXT

It's possible, I did it for one of my apps : https://github.com/loicfavory/cordova-plugin-social-message

[leecrossley]

Can you clean and PR the modification @loicfavory?

[loicfavory]

@leecrossley I'm very busy this summer, but I'll try to find some time this week end to do it. Did you check my code to see what I did ?

[leecrossley]

OK, I'll see if I can pull it across tomorrow - thanks

[loicfavory]

Not sure you can pull without cleaning it. I did a lot of specifics dev for my project.

[leecrossley]

Yes, of course. I will just take the relevant parts, pull was probably the wrong choice of word - thanks for helping out.

[loicfavory]

ok, I'm sorry, it's not well commented. Ask me if you need help but I'll not have a lot of time before saturday

[Stiofan]

Hopefully this gets added before my release, thanks for the help both of you :)

[leecrossley]

so, are we saying that now we can only share a URL for Facebook Android? Your fork seems to suggest you ignore the other parameters in the case of Facebook.

[loicfavory]

I think you can only share a picture OR a link.
Facebook doesn't share text content.

For my project, I only need to share links, that why my fork ignore other parameters.

Maybe we could allow to share picture or link, but I think it can't be both.

Any update on this?

OK, seems there is a way to do it with picture & text using the Facebook SDK : http://stackoverflow.com/a/25065367
but I didn't test it, and will not have time now, but I'll work today on new branch to share only the URL as @nomaddevs asked
