Trying this app in place of now a month broken Windows Facebook app.

3.6 seems to boot up fine on my Sprint HTC TP2 its the new pictures thats broken on my device.

I select the DCIM folder and dont see my storage card sub folders.

Then I try to upload a Album Sample picture and get the message "An unexpected error has occured in XDAFacebook.exe. Select quit.........

The details say OutOfMemoryException..........

with alot after that

Nice App so far!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nachoijs:
i´ve just donate you!!, please, keep working on this great app!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
VERY NICE!!! Keep it up! :)

Hi!

Very good work, working fine here!!

Keep it up!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Neo84:
Hey,

I found a bug which is present in the new 3.6 as was also in 3.5.1.

When posting a new status the box where the status-text should be not really there until you disable/enable the keyboard. After that it's ok.

screenshot is attached.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] goducks3620:
had that problem myself. I don't use the onscreen keyboard at all and disable it in the registry, but had to re-enable it so that the text box will drop.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Neo84:
Without the onscreen keys it's kinda hard on my HD2 :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you for the feedback!

Ok, I see where the problem is. I'll get that fixed.

Could you copy the message data or just take screenshots and upload them for me? I need to know the Exception Type and the first couple of methods that start with "XF". But the whole thing would be nice :)

Thank you very much! :D

Sweet! Glad to hear :) Were you able to upload pictures and was the XDA Windows Mobile Photo Album created? How was the picture quality?

Hmmm... I just tried it and it popped up normal. It must be something else. I'll look into it a bit more

Let me know about any other bugs! There are quite a few new features that haven't been de-bugged in this release, so it won't surprise me if there are a ton
[Windows Mobile Software Development] namwollem:
Done that, and I still get the error message, but when I click on Quit, it launches the application! Weird!

I tried uploading a photo, but it then bombed claiming that it couldn't find the file, even though it IS there!!!

Regardless of this.... great work, and please keep it up!! Much appreciated!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] goducks3620:
Is the default position for the onscreen keyboard to be up when you start a post? It is on my phone, though it goes down as soon as I start to type on the keyboard. Disabling the keyboard through the registry doesn't help, just leaves a large blank space.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
that is weird... I'll look a bit more into it. See what I can dig up.

As for the "couldn't find the file" that actually means it just errored out and wasn't able to load the file. It was added last minute to keep only image files added to be uploaded. I'll make better error messages and let's see what the real cause is!

Yes, the default position for the SIP is Enabled (up). Actually, if you try and bring up the SIP, it will automatically close itself. The only time it will come up is when there is an edit dialog present.

Are you typing on a physical keyboard?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Just tried this on my HD Mini, HVGA, and all is grand with a couple of graphical issues:

1 The top menu bar isn't quite deep enough, i only see the top half of the icons.

2 I have no idea what the menus are, all I see is the three white lines and separators.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
That's not good! Could you send me a screen shot of both?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Two for one. LOL

I suspect that the "weird" resolution is to blame. it's 320x480.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
Hi!

Hmmm.... yes it did work but a bit to grainy for my taste ... is it to much compression maybe ...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
yes, that is definitely the problem :) I'll need to make a 320 width res image for both :)

Yes, there is some compression, but it is the basic windows compression (I'm resizing the image to be a max of 720x720. Makes for faster transmission ) I'll make that an option in the settings. That's the next part. Settings will include the ability to export the strings and make your own lang file! yay for that!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] venomshot629:
This app is great; bumps Microsoft right out of the running, making you wonder how such a huge company couldnt even come close to making an app as finger-friendly and nice as this!

Im testing out 3.6 right now, I can also confirm the app not being able to see in the DCIM folder when uploading pics, however it can see in my other folders on the storage card..

Uploading, however, is working. A good sign of things to come! A bit grainy, but hey, it does work, and fast!

One thing maybe someone could help me on; I cannot figure out how to post on someone's wall? I can comment on a post they made, but how do I make a new post on their wall?

Great work overall Joe; as usual, anticipating the next build!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] goducks3620:
yes, I use the physical keyboard, since the phone (Samsung Intrepid) is a Blackberry-style slab but with a touch screen. Another odd configuration, I know.

Odd that I have a 320-width screen but only half as deep (240), and the home page icons show up there. Just squashed.

Wish the Smartphone edition was ready (a version for the ones we don't have a touchscreen device)...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] claus1953:
I have a WQVGA device (240x400) and the menu looks the same, with the 3 dotted lines only on the screen, looks like the menu is for bigger resolution only and does not fit on smaller resolutions.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Ok, I'll take a look and see what's up! Thank you for the screen shots :)

Yeah, me too! That'd mean I'd already release the 1.0! Heehee :)

I've never programmed for a non-touch screen, so it will be an adventure, that's for sure!

You can actually make your own skins for the smaller resolutions. Then all will look like it should! The third post of this thread describes how.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fclifton:
Is it possible to get Older Posts (like on FB)? I don't check FB very often and the number loaded does not include all since the last time I checked.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Not yet. There will be once I get around to it :)

Someone also asked about posting on people's walls. It is suffering from the same fate. I see a shine object (Graphics, uploading images, etc. Oh and programming pun intended :D) and those other (but very necessary) features fall by the wayside. I just need to be reminded which things I still haven't added and then I'll add them when I get some time :)

But this week I have 2 tests. One tomorrow and one on friday :( Major bummer! So, I won't be able to work on xdafb very much until the weekend.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] juzzwuzzz:
hey thanx for the app it works better then the WiMo version. I will be checking here to get the newest releases. But so far it works great.

Just 2 small things here

1. When i close the programm en retry to restart it, it just doesn't open on my mobile. Have to restart my mobile phone.

2. If you get the message new notification... were can you see that and open it so the notification goes away.

My mobile phone is the HTC touch Pro 2

EDIT:

I reinstalled it 2 times. But still doent work great. The app looks realy cool and when it works it works better then the WiMo version. But for know it doenst restart and give alot hangs... so i think i have to wait for a newer version... dont know why it works so bad here. I see it works by all the other users here.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
Sounds good to me, i think you know what you're doing :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
Error

Hi!

Got this yesterday (after i had written my post here):

ctDisposedException

Go to Friends and pick a friend and wait about a minute... or less...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] juzzwuzzz:
It is a miracle... but now it works... and does on restarts and no hangs anymore... dont know why... i did nothing different.

But still the question stays.. when it sais you have a new notification... were can you see them/ open them

And another question... In the inbox it says compose... when i open that i can only type text, where can i let it know to whom them message must go? and where can i open my send messages?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] goducks3620:
Going to work on that later this week if I get a chance for my Intrepid.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thisduderockz:
:(

Im dying to try this app! it looks awesome! but i get an error every time.

"An unexpected error has occurred in XDAfacebook.exe

Select quit and then restart this program, or select details for more information."

I have a Samsung Code for metropcs with wm 6.5 can anyone help me with this?? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] goducks3620:
Is that a non-touchscreen? You need a non-touchscreen to run this currently.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
Had trouble with 3.6 yesterday. But seems to be working ok today strange Ha. I would like to point out that when looking in friends w is missing in the right hand bar. Must say I'm not a fan of moving the home sign from the left side to the right have hit X god knows how many times and that's on a big screen hd2 lol. Keep up the good work this is gonna be so cool when done.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yeah, I had to move it so that the back arrow could be up there.

IDK if I mentioned this, but you can swipe to the right and you'll go back (if there is an arrow in the top left corner). I'll update the first page :o

Yeah, so everyone, swipe to the right to go back! :D

EDIT: And yes, I noticed that there is two Y's and no W just the other day :) I'll get right on that! But in the mean time... Shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone! :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Steve0771:
Cool App

Sorry, I haven't read through the ~70 pages of comments to see if this has been suggested yet.

My thoughts:

Cool app and out at the perfect time as the "Microsoft official" app doesn't seem to work anymore.

I keep quitting the app by pressing the left-hand softkey "exit". Seems to me that "Home" should be there instead and "exit" could get moved into the menu.

How do you update your status? Most often used feature of Facebook. Could this be added to the home screen as a text box/submit?

Overall, beautifully designed, intuitive layout, easy to use, great app. Thank you for all of your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bratboo:
Hi!

How about the issue for sub folder? When I choose DCIM the sub folder won't show.

Thanks! :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yeah, that seems to be the case with a lot of people. I'm going to move the exit button into the menu and make the exit button the "Home" button and not have anything up in that corner.

You can update your status by clicking on it :) Go to your profile and click on the text next to your picture and you'll be able to update it from there.

Thank you for your complements!

Yeah, I'm going to have to make a file browser object. I'm currently using the one that Microsoft gave as part of the .net CF.... Don't you just love MS?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Yann2612:
I confirm I have the same thing after about ten seconds
[Windows Mobile Software Development] onebyside:
same error as above on my hd2
[Windows Mobile Software Development] josefcrist:
nice app. when you are all done this will be way better than the ms facebook app. keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Captain_Throwback:
great work so far

I don't use Facebook that much, but I still like this app. I was wondering, is there a way to be able to navigate the login fields with the arrow keys on a hardware keyboard? I have a Raphael & a Rhodium, and when I go to type my username to login, pressing the down arrow doesn't take me down to the password field to input there. Is that something that can be fixed easily?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] venomshot629:
Save your login?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thisduderockz:
Yes its a samsung code and its non touchscreen.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] benel_angeles:
doesn't work on HD

i've been trying the beta version on my HD since yesterday but i always get an error during login. tried the web login to allow the app to access my FB data but it always goes back to the login page.

any ideas? maybe this is not compatible with blackstone?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pjft:
Hi.

I'm getting the same error as above, sadly.

Touchscreen HTC Touch Cruise QVGA, running version 3.6 .

Tried regular login, web login - both versions of the webpage.

Could you be using something of IE? And could that be the cause? IE is not my default browser, and actually I have relocated the cache, cookie and data folders to the SD card.

Maybe this can help tracking it down?

Regards, and keep up the great work!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dennycool:
I just want to ask why don't anybody tries to make a facebook app for WM just like the one for iPhone or iPodTouch.

I think that it is the best fb app , you have almost everything on it, and it's working great.

I don't see any reason why can't it be like that on WM, and on HTC HD2
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Corwin9S:
are you kidding ?

what the f*ck do you think we talk about on this 73 pages?

waht to do damit think that Sopis, joe_coolish, Fredz and other are going to make?

don't be insane... think before talking !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] venomshot629:
That guy has 2 posts. Since December 2009. That shows the importance of his opinion, or anything he has to say for that matter. :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Marki89:
thanks guys for this great Facebook App :)

Best regards from Germany ;)

One point you should fix, it's very difficult to come back from menues, because the home button is to far back in the corner.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
could you post a picture of the error? thanks!

I'm going to respond to respond to this as a serious question. the reason why no one has made an app like the iphone for wm its because it's hard! to make a list panel that scrolls when you flick and has momentum was a problem that took me 2 weeks to solve. on an iphone you can drag and drop a control I'm two seconds and have the same if not better result. the other problem is that wm is considered a dead platform by many devs so there is no motivation.

so because it is hard and there is no motivation, it hasn't been done. even then, when a project like this one comes out, at first everyone is pumped but then motivation dies. I am the only original (or person in general) team member that is actively working on the project.

done :) I moved exit into the menu and home is now on the left soft button.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sheijtan:
I just installed this Facebook App, version 3.6.

I really like. It's much better than the one that was installed on the HD2 before.

Please keep up the good work. I am looking forward to the finished application.

:)

I have to add something:

Seems to be fixed, though I get several "critical Error"-messages after which the application ends.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] benel_angeles:
hi Joe,

attached is picture of the error i am getting. i am currently using KWBR's 5.4 manila rom. previously i was using KWBR's 3.0 rom with Manila. They both have the same error message. in the 5.4 rom, i only installed the 3.6 beta to see if the reason was incompatibility with other software, but unfortunately i get the same error message.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JukEboXAuDiO:
Umm I can get in and it tells me a I have a notification but it wont open notifications. What do I have to do to view the notificiation. I have tried clicking on it or even hold clicking and nothing.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yay for the weekend being over! I thought I'd never say that :) anyways, last week was incredibly busy, and this week seems to be just as busy :( I have made a couple of changes and added some small things, but life has taken all of my programming time. I hope to get a couple of hours to knock out some stuff tonight. My priorities at the moment are getting photos/albums viewable and getting the notifications working.

Hopefully I can get both of those done tonight!

Thanks! Are you still getting "critical Error" messages? if so, do they have any debug info with it? Please send them to me if you get a chance :)

Wow! Thank you very much! :D

Sweet! Good to hear!

Have you tried the web login method? I'm going to add a few more check in the authentication process. Hopefully that will get rid of the unknown error messages... It happens when facebook changes stuff up on me. I wish they would just stay the same! :)

To view your notifications at the present time, you have to view it online :) I just found the API to clear notifications last week, so hopefully I will be able to add the notification bar.

I'm also toying with the idea of adding App related notifications through the Notification bar. Things like App Updates (as opposed to checking for updates at login, check once the user has logged in. this could make the app start faster) or even news about new features... IDK, any thoughts?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] walletless:
+1 on notification - would love to see it soon.. the app is great and fast.. thanks much for doing this.

A couple things I would love in 3.7:

1) Clickable Notifications - you already said you are working on this part

2) Manual refresh - currently the only way to refresh is exit and start the app again
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jaysonic91:
Joe. Another error mate, sorry. :P

Um. Let me try to explain what happened. I was toying with the upload images part. I click Browse File and it was taking ages to load so I pressed again, then it went into it. I selected my file and couldn't find the upload button then realised I needed to scroll down. So I uploaded it but I pressed the button twice, so two of them uploaded. Perhaps disable the button in a later release. :)

Then I hit exit and got the following errors. The screenshots follow it down. Hopefully you can make sense of them.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 55555:
First of all: Your App is great!! I have to work with my Facebook Account every day, and this project promissed to be the best way to handle facebook!

A few questions for the future:

What i really miss in every Facebook App (Iphone, Winmo and i think Android too) is a possibility to elect a specific group who can see my post like in the normal Internet view. You know what i mean? I want to defne, that my post is only visible for the group "firm" and another post is visible for my "friends". The same for pictures...

Another future request is posting pictures in existings folders. I want to upload a picture in a folder, which already exists, or create a folder inside the app.

That would make me so happy:-)

But this should only be a future request and no demand! Im very happy with this app!! Thanks for your great work!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
As for the specific group selection for post visibility, I don't think the graph APIs support it. I will look into it thou and see what I can find :)

The picture album is a feature that will be introduced in the near future
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DannyBiker:
Thank you. Just thank you. If only they were more developers so commited...:o
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
Keep getting lots of errors again with 3.6 Joe. one minute its running fine then bang up pops a error. Not near computer so a bit hard to send them.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hmmm, that's not good. When you do get some time, please send them to me :) I'd love to take a look at them.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jaysonic91:
You see my post with the errors joe?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yes, and it is fixed :) thankk you for the report.

What happened was the second click registered as click in the image selector, and the image was invalid. The fix is to not use the file selector by microsoft :)

Look for the 3.7 beta for the new image selector! Hopefully this weekend will afford me time to make that release
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Just in case no one else saw this, take a look and tell me if you think about adding these features into XDAFacebook:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Watahboi:
Hello, Great work on your facebook app!

I was just wondering if there was a way to continue to look through older posts on the news feed because it stops after so many posts. Ive also noticed that some status's are blank, it just shows the persons name.

I also noticed that sometimes when I quit the app, I cant get it to relaunch unless I restart my phone. Im using 21916 Cookie 2.0 Energy ROM sencity right now.

Also places would be nice :D

Keep up the good work :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickfeld:
error

I've used this app sometime now and every now and then I get "unknown error" (or something like that, I get it in Dutch and I don't know the exact english phrase).

Sometimes, when I wait after this message, and do nothing, the app starts and everything is (very!!!) fine.

I update every time, and even sometimes delete everything and install new.

I use a TP2 or Rhodium if you like.

Any ideas?

cheers!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] benel_angeles:
Hi Joe,

any update on the log in error? i hope you find the time to look at it.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] stetzen:
Places will definitely be pretty much killer feature, simply because currently the only way of getting FB places on WinMo is to use Iris browser and do some registry hacking. Clearly not the easiest way :)
