I'm very new to Titanium developer and i'm building an app in which I'm trying to implement Kitchen Sink's Twitter window, I already figured out that you can easily change the username from which it picks up the tweets, but I can't seem to get that window into my own app. What files do I have to copy/paste or what parts of the code do I have to use?
Thanks!

I have a device which I want to control with Google Home.
Device also can be controlled via mobile app.
It will be a commercial device so many users have different devices and, of course, I can recognise them in my mobile app.
I read documentation about Action and Home Graph, but it is still not clear how I can integrate my device/app with google home in the same way as, for example, Hue is integrated.
I could not find where I can "register" my device/app with google so it will be shown in supported devices.
What I want to achieve is the following:
User gets device, installs the app, connects it device to the app. <- this already works.
Then user goes to google home integrations, selects my platform and he is ready to go.
Maybe someone can push me to the right direction where to start?
The smart home documentation provides the content to help you get started, along with several codelabs to learn about the webhook fomat.
When you are developing your action, through the Actions Console, you will be able to see your service in the full service list as "[test] Your project name". Once your integration is ready, you submit it to be published in the full list of services.
Building my first telegram bot and it's going to be quite complex.
Part of workflow needs to open a webview within telegram that will require user interaction, return to bot chat altering chat with data received from user.
Reading through the entire api, SO, github, I'm having trouble finding anything about the viewing webpages, much less if we can interact. Before I get deep into this project it would be awesome to have some starting direction.
Can you create web views (like you see for "instant view" articles, google maps, etc), and if so can you get data from user to use back at the chat bot?
Another option is possibly using a "game". In our case, it won't be a conventional game, but maybe we could use the html5 game to render what we need, and interact with the user. I know it can pull scores, names, etc to update message, maybe we could somehow make this work?
I'm currently working through the api. This is one of my first apps, and my first telegram bot. I really appreciate any assistance on how to get started here.
This is in Rails, using https://github.com/telegram-bot-rb/telegram_bot_app as a starter. Mostly needing to know if this concept it possible, but anything more specific would be great, too. Thanks!
You can't create web view with the bot API and you don't need to do that. You can simply link to a web page using simple links or inline buttons and the page will open in Telegram's inline browser (Depending on user's settings).
If you include the user ID in the URL you will know who is using the webpage. e.g example.com?uid=1234
Now that you know who is using the webpage, you can use the ID to send messages or anything else in Telegram chat while user is on the webpage.
At the end you can redirect the user back to your bot URL (telegram.me/botusername).
Update
You can now use Seamless Telegram Login to link to a web page and log in the user. This feature can also be used in groups
Try the new Telegram Web App API
It can open a web page on the bottom sheet, which you can expand almost to the full screen.
You can configure the web app open button by following these steps:
Open BotFather
Type /mybots, select your bot
Click Bot Settings > Menu Button
Set up a menu button that opens a certain URL
i am in the process of making my app with firebase i am pretty much done with that except Firebase App Indexing. I am very exited with this feature because it could help me to increase my app get more traffic from the web but the problem is i really can't able to see how to implement this. According to Firebase Docs i just need to register my app with this pice of code
[[FIRAppIndexing sharedInstance] registerApp:your Apple ID from iTunes Connect];
I have done that but what should i do after that?
1.My app is firebase app that means i don't have any website to host my content except firebase realtime database. Does my content is available for crawlers? if not how can i make available to them?
2.If i can able to show my content in the google search results i don't wanna show all the content and i wanna show just some of my content for example i have a social app for sharing General Knowledge questions, i wanna show just the question like "What is the highest mountain" in the search results and if the user want to see the answer it should take them to my app how can i do that?
3.As per docs i came to know that i need to create univiersal links for my app content to direct users from google search but how shold i do that ? Lets say should i crate universal links when the user create question?? if so how can i do that ??
Thank you very much for the help.
This is not currently possible on iOS using Firebase App Indexing. The situation is slightly different on Android, but that is not applicable to your question.
On iOS, Firebase App Indexing is simply highlighting pages on your website in Google search results that have corresponding content inside your app. This is achieved by piggybacking on Apple's Universal Links standard, and there is no proactive 'crawling' going on inside your app. This means unless you have a corresponding web page for your app with 1:1 content parity, you can't really benefit from Firebase App Indexing on iOS as it comes out-of-the-box.
The best workaround is to generate little 'placeholder pages' for every piece of content in your app, which the sole purpose of opening your app (if it is installed) or redirecting to the App Store (if it is not installed). Ideally you'll need some sort of deferred deep linking system so that users still see the correct content after downloading. Fun fact: this is essentially how HotelTonight operates their entire business model. Unfortunately Firebase's implementation is not mature enough to support this full flow, and Google hasn't quite figured out how to rank app-only content properly yet in search results so you will probably need to pro-actively submit your placeholder pages to them.
Shameless plug: at Branch, we provide all of the above as a free service. You can read more about it here and take a look at the set up docs here.
I want my app to create a new Facebook group chat with certain people that opens either on Facebook's site in Safari or in the native Facebook app when the user presses a button. I want Facebook to handle the whole chat and my app only to initiate it somehow in the cleanest and least involved way possible. My app already uses the Facebook SDK to open an active FBSession, so I've already got login credentials.
Looking around online and in Facebook's docs, I can't find anything that suits my needs. The closest thing I found was in this answer containing a list of Facebook app URLs you can connect to that open the Facebook app to certain pages. There's "fb://chat/(initWithUID:)" and "fb://messaging/compose/(initWithUID:)". However, not only is there no explanation on how to use these, but people say that Facebook has changed these URLs (and does not have any documentation on them), so they don't work anymore unless I reverse-engineer new URLs (which could change again). Ugh, so close!
I also found examples on starting chats with the Facebook Chat API, but that involves logging into Facebook using some networking framework then writing my own GUI and model for sending messages, which I am only prepared to do as a last resort. There should be some way to let the Facebook app or website do all that. Does anyone know how I can do this?
I've found something very close, but I still don't see a way to make my app initialize it with the desired group of friends:
The Facebook SDK has a message dialog that can appear for sending messages to friends. This isn't exactly what I wanted but is good enough because it means that all the programming is already done for me by Facebook, and users should be able to see these messages on https://facebook.com and the Facebook apps. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/share#message-dialog
I used Facebook sdk in the past, but the new version is making me crazy. I'm trying to create a UIActivity subclass that calls the official facebook share dialog. Since for someone having the "via iOS" instead of the app name in the post is a first world problem (just kidding), I can't use the iOS native integration with the SLComposeViewController.
In the documentation it seems that for post a picture using the share dialogs you need to use open graph actions, but is not totally clear to me if you can do inside your app, or you need to rely on external php application.
I've seen that there are some common actions that wouldn't require a declaration of a new one, but posting a photo or a movie it doesn't seems to be there.
I'd like to use something "native" as a share dialog instead of an FBSession if possible.
