Question

I’m using scribe for making an app that has oauth support. I didn’t found problems With Twitter, but when using facebook I have problems…

This is the code that works on twitter oauth

OAuthService s = /* ... Facebook oauth init ... */
final Token requestToken = s.getRequestToken();
final String authURL = s.getAuthorizationUrl(requestToken);

It gives me an error at the second line:

12-20 10:01:31.475: E/AndroidRuntime(5405): java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unsupported operation, please use 'getAuthorizationUrl' and redirect your users there
12-20 10:01:31.475: E/AndroidRuntime(5405):     at org.scribe.oauth.OAuth20ServiceImpl.getRequestToken(OAuth20ServiceImpl.java:45)

I know that it says that I might use getAuthorizationUrl… But I have to pass a requestToken…

Could you please help me?

It would be helpful any example with Scribe and Facebook

Thanks!

PS: Same problem with Windows Live ! =(

EDIT:

I have been looking at the source code of the Scribe library and I found something

https://github.com/fernandezpablo85/scribe-java/blob/master/src/main/java/org/scribe/oauth/OAuth20ServiceImpl.java

Here we can see that I can call the getAuthorizationUrl(…) with null parameter because it doesn’t use it…. But I think the prioblem now is that the config isn’t filled…

here is how I initialize facebook service:

new ServiceBuilder()
    .provider(FacebookApi.class)
    .apiKey(....)
    .apiSecret(....)
    .scope("email,offline_access")
    .callback("oauth://facebook")
    .build();

Is this correct?

Thanks!

Answer 1

private static final Token EMPTY_TOKEN = null;

OAuthService service = new ServiceBuilder()
                           .provider(FacebookApi.class)
                            .apiKey(apiKey)
                            .apiSecret(apiSecret)
                             .callback("http://www.example.com/oauth_callback/")
                              .build();
 String authorizationUrl = service.getAuthorizationUrl(EMPTY_TOKEN);

All you now need to redirect user to this URL and let him verify them self to get code from facebok.

There are a good amount of example with very good documentation for almost all major Oath
system

here is for Facebook

Edit

After looking at the discussion my suggestion is to get a full understanding about Oauth1 and Oauth2.
