Sounds good to me :) And i'll be following this thread on a daily basis! :)

Looking forward to uninstall the two other crapy ones i have installed. :D

And when or if it's possible, i'm eager to translate it into Swedish if i may.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rille95:
that is something that I can help with aswell :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] digiblur:
I installed this on my Touch Pro 2 and it did the part of launching IE and before the Success screen came up the XDA FB app crashed. I then saw the Success screen.

I tried to open the XDA Facebook app again and when I hit the login button, it sits for a few seconds then crashes with Can not convert String to Int64.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Sweet! I will definitely need translation in the future :) I'll keep you on the list!

This has been fixed. The next version will not have this issue. This is Facebook's data not being "Standard". ie, their JSON objects that they host are sometimes int64s and sometimes they are strings.... rrrrr! You'd think they'd keep everything the same?!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] swax:
and when will we be able to test your new beta??:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Well, that is a good question.

I want to release it soon, but facebook is being weird and giving errors when I try to post to it.... IDK what's up with it, but once I'm able to post data, I'll submit the next version.

I actually had message posting working on facebook, then a couple of days ago things stopped working (no change in code) so... idk.

I'm not using (nor will I use) the old REST APIs, which most fb applications use. I'm using the Graph API, which is newer and easier to use. I've asked around and there are several people getting this error, so hopefully it gets resolved soon!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] marduk_hs:
error...can not convert string to int64
[Windows Mobile Software Development] briian_:
Yeah, can confirm that I'm another one of those user that gets the 'cannot convert string to int64" error.

Really look forward to a facebook app for windows mobile.

The most important app missing for windows mobiles, the one released by microsoft is just horrible >.<

its too slow and somewhat limited.

Thanks for the hard work :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ranasrule:
same here.....:(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] antoine_32:
me too :-( ...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
good morning all :)

So i have good news and bad news

Good news is that i have posting/liking working again. I decided to go back and use the old (reliable) REST APIs for facebook.

now for the bad news. While thinking about the current structure of the application, there is a limitation i discovered reguarding proper MVC compliance. basically, the model doesnt have any way of updating the view when there are changes made. i will need to fix that before i can release the next version :(

Also, i have not received any word from any graphics people about making some images for the app. if you are a photoshopper, let me know por favor!

benefits of being a graphics dev on this project include: more frequent dev builds, control over look and feel, name in the credits, global recognition, etc!

thank you and have a great sunday :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Ok, I hope to have Beta 3 ready by tomorrow!

Stay tuned and check back tomorrow for the next version!

This will include the ability to POST comments, likes, and update statuses

Beta 3.0 will just test posting with these few things, and if all goes well then posting to walls and things will come quickly

Beta 3.1 will have all the other postings setup.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Julian35961:
Hows your work been doing?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xcen_xda:
I really love how fluid is this app! Thanks a lot!

Just to report a small bug, when switch from Portrait to Landscape or Landscape to Portrait, the screen doesn't fit nicely. I need to exit the application, go to the proper orientation, and then restart the application. Hope you can work on it, but no pressure!

Using Xperia X1.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Things are coming along pretty smoothly! Just wish I had more time :(

Yes, I do know about the screen orientation problem. I've never programmed against screen orientation, so I'll have to figure that out! Shouldn't be hard though. The View is all dynamically sized, so once I get to a spot where I can test it, I will add support for orientation
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Beta 3.0 is GO!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] swax:
will try it right now:D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Oh, I posted the wrong link :p

Now the automatic update should work!

SORRY!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] swax:
allright:D

dear joe_coolish... everything you said its supposed to work.. works... comment.. status update..

just loving it..:D

now i think i can already just use your app.. when private messages work.. then.. will no longer "open" microsoft facebook" app... just congratulations.. is very fast. responsive.. and.. it works:D.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Woah thanks dude. This looks promising.

Can't wait till when you manage to get the photos and chat working.

Good job buddy :)

Looking forward to your future developments on this app :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mallenat:
Good job! Posts and likes working on my device ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
hmmmm, I'll look into why this could happen. Will you be available to load a dev build when I figure out what is wrong?

Thank you! I'm glad it's all working! :)

Let me know if you run into any problems!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
Tried the beta 3 and i'm like what i see!

Hi!

Told you! I will following this promissing project :)

Nothing to report other than i like to see that you're progressing.

Realy can't wait for this to be finished :) And hoping to get it working with S2U2 screen as well... :)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
That doesn't look too hard to fix :) I'll send you an update and let's see if that fixes the issue
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
could you send send me some screenshots so I can see what it looks like on QVGA?

Also, did the whole updating process work well?

Thanks for your comments!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fredz:
I ve download evc4 sdk but unfortunaly it doesn t seems to works with Windows seven 64. I m donwloading a new sdk to start devlopment but it take 2Go. I ll tell you when done.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
I've looked at the FB APIs in the past (I did a school project where I made a custom interface for Facebook and used the APIs to do this) and so I would be down for the API portion.

Is there a Google Code setup for the APIs? If not, I'll start one :)

I work with C# btw. I'm a good coder, decent designer, poor artist, starving student. I'm newish with .netCF, but I've programmed in C# for windows and ASP.NET for years. I've written 2 .net apps so far, and I've really liked the Sense SDK in this forum. Pretty easy to work with and it would work well with the XDA-ness of the app
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fredz:
Ok. So let's go. You can start a google code project. Can you post address in this thread after.

@Sopis can you rename the thread and add information about the new project in the first post.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Done.

http://code.google.com/p/xda-winmo-facebook/

post or PM me to be added to the group
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
what do you suggest naming the thread?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Well, right now it's a call for developers. I'd put a link to the google code page on the front and some instructions on how to join. As for a title, something like [APP]XDA Facebook for WinMo or something like that
[Windows Mobile Software Development] twotone504:
+1 for that!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
Good idea.

I will do that.

I will also try to come up with some UI ideas and stuff after I get home from work.

I can't believe this is actually really moving somewhere :rolleyes:

EDIT: OK...the 1st post is changed. Let me know if it is good.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fredz:
For me the first post is OK. And the title is good too. I ve send a PM to joe_coolish to join the project. So actually the team is composed with : Sopis, Joe_coolish and Fredz.:D

It s great.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
this all sounds good..hooray :D

i am sure that more people will join...hopefully
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lesscro:
+ 1

i m not a social fanatic like facebook or tweeter or another social networking but i can make graphics if anybody are interested...

I love participate in lot of project...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
I checked your work..it seems very nice...maybe we can use you :)

I guess we will let you know ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hey guys, this is pretty slick

http://www.silverlight.net/content/samples/apps/facebookclient/sfcquickinstall.aspx

I really like the mini feed mode!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
Joe

I think I heard about silverlight before..ow no...it was SilverMoon GUI...

check it out http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=8093

this is one of the possibilities too, what do you say?

What should I do with that SilverLight thingy you have posted?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Oh, no. The link is to a desktop client for Facebook. It was just to be an example of a non-native Facebook client. It answered a few questions thou. Mainly that this app will have to be accepted by Fb before we will be able to use the Fb APIs.

Silverlight is good stuff! It's a Microsoft development platform that is based on visuals. Unfortunately WinMo 6.5 and below aren't supported. Phone 7 is thou, and that makes me happy!

The link is just to show what can be done and view with a non-native facebook application. If the functionality is in that application, we will be able to do it!

As for the silvermoon, I pm'd you about that
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
Well Id rather stick with older versions of WM since I guess there still will be many users who will still stick with WM6 instead of 7....

I am really looking forward to see the 7 and the results of usage happiness...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fredz:
Silvermoon GUI

Waouh...

Silvermoon seems very good.

I've download it to make a try.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tsalta:
Thia COOL Project will be happy to see some NEW FaceBook with Improved Interface and Super Finger Friendly :) and of course more OPTIONS
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hey, I'm going to be away for most of the day today. Silvermoon is pretty cool, but it hasn't been updated to .netCF 3.5 and it has some issues. I played with it a while ago and really didn't get too involved with it, so I really can't say too much about it. If any of you think it might be good to master, we can go down that route too

I'll try and get the project registered with facebook sometime tonight so we can start building the core APIs

Ate' mais!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fredz:
I ve try to connect to facebook using .Net compact framework today but it seems that some web functions of the .Net framework are not in the compact version. Joe do you know something about this and to use web function in c sharp?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Ok, I'm guessing on both accounts, but here is a new cab with the fixes

http://code.google.com/p/xda-winmo-...ook Beta 3.0 HotFix1.CAB&can=2&q=#makechanges

I don't know what the exact exception was on your first post, but hopefully this fixes everything and it works. If not, I'll have to build a diagnostic version and that will take time :(

Let me know if that works!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] JukEboXAuDiO:
Installed the new version but now it says I don't have a data connection to login. I have full bars!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sc00basteve:
Mine timed out @ login screen too...

But I restarted the app and my data connection. now it works great.

The interface really is smooth as hell!!

(REQ) Any chance your API would have support for swiping left->right to return to the previous page? The back arrow is WAY hard to reach with my thumb (righty).

Anyway... just an idea.

I gotta give you credit for the aggressive roadmap too. Can't wait to see what you're going to be able to do with the other buttons.

Leaps and bounds from the first few betas. leaps and bounds!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thanks for the comment!

As for swiping to go back, I've thought about making the swipe expose a "Delete" button (like with emails on the iOS platform) on posts and comments. I really want a way to delete facebook items. But, you are right and it is difficult to go back sometimes. Especially when the back button is at the top. IDK, I'll have to play with it :) Maybe a click and hold to expose a context dialog for the post (like goto link, copy message, delete, etc)?

What do you think?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BeEazy10:
Unknow error

when i try to login after i a few second of wait im prompt with "There was an unknown error"
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
That's not good! :D

Hmmm... I'll have to make a diagnostic version to find out what the error was. I'll try and whip one up if you are willing to send back the report

Sorry I didn't comment on your post. Same with you, if you are still getting the error, let me know and I'll send you a diagnostic version as well!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] namwollem:
Works ok for me!

Once again, the new Beta works fine for me on my HD2, and posting works fine too!! No problems at all!

Looking forward to the next step on your journey to a better WinMo Facebook!

:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JukEboXAuDiO:
Thanks! I got it working! No pictures but still looks good an is very smooth.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sc00basteve:
Thats a good idea. The interface is really smooth when sliding to a new frame so:

What about a button on each post that slides the options out over the post? - The account button on Manila/TouchFlo's Mail tab and the Favorites selection on the Favorites tab both come to mind.

If the animation is to much, then a menu popup sounds preferable to a new page that slides over with the menu items on it.

Although... I do like the current way you set it up whereby clicking on the feed item it slides over, to just that one post, with the "comment" and "like" options showing. That's a good way to hide menu items too, so whatever works the best to make it lightweight (like it is right now) AND functional.

Keep up the excellent work!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rille95:
just me who wonders where the atleast 2 posts from yesterday went? I know for sure i didn't delete mine.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] MattOG:
server problems... had to restore a backup
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rille95:
oh, i guess that was on the announcements forum? Should have looked there.

If you didn't see my post yesterday then I would like to tell you that those graphics you made ( if it was you ) looked awesome ! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yep, there were probably 8-10 posts deleted from this thread.

Yeah, Matt, I had some feedback, but the images are gone :(

I just wanted to say that the WIP is great! I'm excited to bring the app into the graphically awesome realm. The only thing I was worried about was the fonts. I don't have skills with fonts (I've never made one) and the ones available to me are "Generic Sans Serif" and "Generic Serif". There are also no text effects installed by default. I've never really thought about how to do effects on the fonts, and after a quick search on google, I couldn't find much information on how to do it w/o going into the GL/ DirectX realm (which I want to avoid as best as possible).

If anyone has worked with fonts and would like to take up the challenge of implementing some custom fontworks, please PM me and/or MattOG.

Other than that, I can't wait to see the end result
[Windows Mobile Software Development] grymcent:
Hi All

Thanks for creating a better Facebook app. Looks great, can't get it to run though.

I've tried 2, 2.6 & 3.0 I get the initial graphic then crash:

Unexpected error etc...

DETAILS:

execption at Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAR(PAL_ERROR ar) at etc 2.5 pages of errors.

Running Faria WM6.5.3 Touch Pro 2

When I do will there be any chance of their being multiple Facebook accounts?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
could you explain how you got the error? does it happen before or after you login or authorization? if you can give some specifics, that will be very helpful

as for multiple logins, that is definitely a posibility :) thanks for the suggestion!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] said_tandio:
hi all,

i have the same problem.

Unexpected error etc...

DETAILS:

execption at Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAR(PAL_ERROR ar) at etc 2.5 pages of errors.

it happen before login screen. it just show facebook initial screen andthen crashed.

i've tried 2.7 and 3 running on my samsung i637.

any sugesstion?

thanks in advance :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] grymcent:
Yep! Before anything happens, immediately after the initial logo screen.

Sorry, thought I had mentioned the error position.

Grymcent
[Windows Mobile Software Development] furry:
Running fine on my TP2 and wife's TreoPro. Love the app, I Pledge $5 when app hits 1.0! Mark me down

One suggestion I have is to make back and home buttons a little larger for ease of hitting. Also better use of softkeys, right softkey could be a menu for logout and exit as well as other settings ect.. And freeing up left softkey for other functions.

Overall great app much better than microsoft version
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Alright, I'll take a look at what's up. I think I know where the problem is. If someone is willing to test it out once it's done, send me a PM

Thanks! Yeah, hopefully I can get this to 1.0 this year :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] said_tandio:
can't wait to use this great facebook apps :'(
