The facebook technical documentation looks like an ape threw it’s own excrement at a website – and that’s how useful it is too…

So I have this web app (for android devices) and I need to authenticate using oAuth (since facebook’s “kaleidoscope API policy” requires that their APIs are never the same if you look at them twice).

I need to show the login screen and I would like it to open in a dialog box rather than a whole new page, since multiple pages aren’t supported on all android devices.

This is what I have so far:
HTML:

<fb:login-button></fb:login-button>

Javascript:

FB.init({appId : XXXXX,status : true, cookie : true,xfbml : true, oauth:true});

Right now I get the full size PC style login dialog, but I want the nice pretty touch/mobile dialog. Any ideas?

    You can fix the issue by using a link that they recommend with a slight modification:

    Their Link:
    http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL&display=touch

    Your Link
    http://m.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL&display=touch

    Notice the change of www to m.
