I build an app, when I share photos to Twitter app from my app (by IOS shared-button), it can only display links, I would like to be a display Picture. How can I achieve it?
Try this first you need to import Social framework
if ([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter]) {
SLComposeViewController *composeViewController = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter];
if (composeViewController) {
[composeViewController addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Your Image"]];
[composeViewController addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"Your URL"]];
NSString *initialTextString = #"Tour Tweet";
[composeViewController setInitialText:initialTextString];
[composeViewController setCompletionHandler:^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result) {
if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResultDone) {
NSLog(#"Posted");
} else if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled) {
NSLog(#"Post Cancelled");
} else {
NSLog(#"Post Failed");
}
}];
[self presentViewController:composeViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
Please go through https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Reference/SLComposeViewController_Class/ for more information about SLComposeViewController
Try this you can easily share photo on twitter from your app. and you can also access other options of twitter.

iOS: How to share text and image on social networks?
(3 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I want to share photo and some text from the app on Facebook. I used SLComposeViewController class for sharing.
My problem is that when I tap on Facebook button a dialog box appears with image which I want to post but default text is not appearing in the device while in simulator it works perfectly fine. This code works perfectly for Twitter both in simulator and device. For more clarity I added code and an image
if([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook])
{
SLComposeViewController *controller = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
SLComposeViewControllerCompletionHandler myBlock = ^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result)
{
if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled)
{
NSLog(#"Cancelled");
} else
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Congratulations!" message:#"Photo is posted to facebook Wall." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alert show];
}
[controller dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:Nil];
};
controller.completionHandler =myBlock;
str=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Text to share"];
[controller setInitialText:str];
[controller addImage:savedImage];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:Nil];
}
str=#"Text to share";
[controller setInitialText:str];
OR
[controller setInitialText:#"Text to share"];
change your code like this and try...
- (IBAction)facebookPost:(id)sender {
if ([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook]) {
SLComposeViewController *mySLComposerSheet = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[mySLComposerSheet setInitialText:#"Social Framework test!"];
[mySLComposerSheet addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"myImage.png"]];
[mySLComposerSheet addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://stackoverflow.com"]];
[mySLComposerSheet setCompletionHandler:^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result) {
switch (result) {
case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Post Canceled");
break;
case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:
NSLog(#"Post Sucessful");
break;
default:
break;
}
}];
[self presentViewController:mySLComposerSheet animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
Try this........This what I did for my project
I push a message to Twitter and/or Facebook at the request of the user.
This has been working for months and now it has stopped, for Twitter only.
This is my code:
if ([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter])
{
SLComposeViewController *tweetSheet = [SLComposeViewController
composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter];
[tweetSheet setInitialText:twoatText];
BOOL weHaveAPhoto = [[passTwoat objectForKey:#"photoSaved"] boolValue];
if (weHaveAPhoto)
{
PFFile *photoFile = [passTwoat objectForKey:#"photo"];
[photoFile getDataInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSData *imageData, NSError *error)
{
if (!error)
{
UIImage *fullImage = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
[tweetSheet addImage:fullImage];
fullImage = nil;
}
else
{
[tweetSheet addImage:lclImage];
}
[self presentViewController:tweetSheet animated:YES completion:nil];
}];
}
else
{
if (lclImage)
{
[tweetSheet addImage:lclImage];
}
[self presentViewController:tweetSheet animated:YES completion:nil];
tweetSheet = nil;
lclImage = nil;
twoatText = nil;
passTwoat = nil;
}
}
The 'If' statement fails and so does not execute the push to Twitter. I guess something has changed, and any ideas would be most welcome.
I solved it. In my iPhone Settings, Twitter was not allowing my App to send messages to Twitter, so I just changed this and all was fine.
I'm building an IOS7 Native app on behalf of a client - its for Fitness Instructors.
The brief requests that the clients can socially share progress updates - which include a link to the instructors site to help promotion, for example - 'Joe ran 3000 miles with the help of Debbie Personal Trainer' and ideally a little pic of the trainer.
I've looked at the SLComposeViewController and can easily create the tweet string but I don't know how to add a URL and image to this - does anyone know if its possible?
Import framework <Twitter/Twitter.h> and <Social/Social.h>.
-(void)sendFacebook:(id)sender {
SLComposeViewController *composeController = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[composeController setInitialText:#"look me"];
[composeController addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image.png"]];
[composeController addURL: [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.apple.com"]];
[self presentViewController:composeController animated:YES completion:nil];
SLComposeViewControllerCompletionHandler myBlock = ^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result){
if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled) {
NSLog(#"delete");
} else {
NSLog(#"post");
}
// [composeController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:Nil];
};
composeController.completionHandler =myBlock;
}
- (void)sendTwitter:(id)sender {
SLComposeViewController *composeController = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter];
[composeController setInitialText:#"look me"];
[composeController addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image.png"]];
[composeController addURL: [NSURL URLWithString:
#"http://www.apple.com"]];
[self presentViewController:composeController
animated:YES completion:nil];
SLComposeViewControllerCompletionHandler myBlock = ^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result){
if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled) {
NSLog(#"delete");
} else {
NSLog(#"post");
}
// [composeController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:Nil];
};
composeController.completionHandler =myBlock;
}
This is almost the same answer as llario, but follows Apple docs instructions and employs defensive coding with some additional error checking.
#import <Social/Social.h>
if ([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter]) {
SLComposeViewController *composeViewController = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter];
if (composeViewController) {
[composeViewController addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"MyImage"]];
[composeViewController addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.google.com"]];
NSString *initialTextString = #"Check out this Tweet!";
[composeViewController setInitialText:initialTextString];
[composeViewController setCompletionHandler:^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result) {
if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResultDone) {
NSLog(#"Posted");
} else if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled) {
NSLog(#"Post Cancelled");
} else {
NSLog(#"Post Failed");
}
}];
[self presentViewController:composeViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
Im trying to add caption/meta data from the link that is attached from the the NSURL.
I followed this article: http://www.mobile.safilsunny.com/integrating-facebook-ios-6/
There are a picture attached to the article at the bottom, that includes the meta data from its link. ( Windows Phone 8 tutorials... etc).
When sharing links on Facebook web, it will automatically give you this meta data so my question is how can i achieve this from iOS?
if([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook]) {
SLComposeViewController *controller = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
SLComposeViewControllerCompletionHandler myBlock = ^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result){
if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled) {
NSLog(#"Cancelled");
} else
{
NSLog(#"Done");
}
[controller dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:Nil];
};
controller.completionHandler =myBlock;
[controller setInitialText:#"google.se"];
[controller addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.google.se"]];
[controller addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"icon.png"]];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:Nil];
}
else{
NSLog(#"UnAvailable");
}
EDIT #1: I see that the Digg app do this.
Use Facebook SDK it is not possible now using SLComposeViewController
I was wondering if I need to create a facebook app to do a share on facebook.
I don't want the user to actually login or something like this.
As I see in the facebook docs it says that the prerequisite is to "make sure you already set up Facebook Login". I wanted to know if this is really needed or is something I can by pass, since the user is already logged in on their native facebook app.
I think you are talking about to store id and password of facebook.
you should do it from settings... and also you can check by logic that facebook id and password is entered or not.. if not then session will go for login page otherwise it ll just share the perticular thing.
Hope this Helps you...
Here is what I was talking about:
#pragma mark - Share
- (void)sharingStatus {
if ([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook]) {
NSLog(#"service available");
self.shareButton.enabled = YES;
self.shareButton.alpha = 1.0f;
} else {
self.shareButton.enabled = NO;
self.shareButton.alpha = 0.5f;
}
}
- (IBAction)facebookPost:(id)sender {
if ([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook]) {
SLComposeViewController *mySLComposerSheet = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
NSString *shareText = #"This is my share post!";
[mySLComposerSheet setInitialText:shareText];
[mySLComposerSheet addImage:[UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:self.imageURL]]];
[mySLComposerSheet addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://yourURL.com"]];
[mySLComposerSheet setCompletionHandler:^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result) {
switch (result) {
case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:
NSLog(#"Post Canceled");
break;
case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:
NSLog(#"Post Sucessful");
break;
default:
break;
}
}];
[self presentViewController:mySLComposerSheet animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
