I have developed an Android game that integrates facebook SDK for checking if one has liked and sharing results.
I heard from my mate that he had problem that made him unable to use the like for reward feature on my app, so I decided to install facebook app myself to check out the problem.
For some reason if I am trying to access the fb api reading data from URL “https://api.facebook.com/method/pages.isFan?format=json&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN&page_id=PAGE_ID” it opens up facebook app on Android which only flashes and then turns off.. How can I avoid this or is there better way to check if one has liked my page in order to give him reward?
I haven’t used the Facebook API, but the Facebook app is probably opening because it’s listening for broadcast Intents to “api.facebook.com”. You could explicitly send the intent to a browser package instead, but this isn’t a good solution as there are many browsers.
I would try to do a HTTPS request using a Loader to fetch and parse the json. Have you tried this yet?
I can’t paste any code right now, sorry.
