I want to add Facebook “Like” functionality to a native mobile app i.e. Not one running in a browser.
I can retrieve the Likes for an item from the Graph API but I cannot see how to POST a “Like” operation using that API. How do I do that?
Am I going to have do have a browser control hidden with the app that uses an IFRAME?
TIA
Pat
According to the Facebook graph api documentation, you can like any object that has a /likes connection by posting to https://graph.facebook.com/OBJECT_ID/likes. This would work for friends posts, comments, etc.
But I don’t believe there is an API to “like” a page (become a fan) and probably won’t be because it would be abused by spammers. You will need to embed an web view control in your application for this.
