$5.00 donated! Keep up the great work!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you so much! :)

Hmmmm.... Try authenticating manually then using the app. The auth link is in the second post at the bottom. Or Just click right here!

Let me know if that fixes it

That is true. Some times IE has some trouble with loading the page as well. I'm going to try and make an Auth system similar to Meltwater's FBTab. That should improve the initial auth process

Thank you so much! :) That actually does a lot to convince my wife to let me stay up till 2 am programming this. That seems to be my only hours of quite time to develop my stuff.

Thank you all for the support! I actually decided to short-cut the dev roadmap and "play" with pictures. I got board during class and coded up some ideas for picture management. We'll see if they make the 3.2 beta :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Heart1010:
That would be nice ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
Thank you again for 3.1. Still working like a dream. I was wondering when you add the profile pictures bit to the program will it slow it down?.

it works...but...

It works!

but there is no tirning back button... when i choose to watch my profile (or any other action), there is no way to return to the mail screen...

furthermore, i cant see my or my friends pictures.

that being said, the way the app looks is very very nice. its easy to see you made a big efffort on the design...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Testing it right now :) Once the images have loaded it isn't slower at all. While they are loading there is a little slowdown but not really noticable. Atleast not on my HD2.

This has been the number 1 concern that I've had with d/l images, so the system that I've created to handle everything is/will need to be very fast. The tests that I'm running right now involve each individual item requesting all their specific images and places the request in a queue and a worker thread that pops from the queue and does all the downloading in the background and then calls the sender when it is done downloading. If the queue is empty, it waits 5 seconds and then queries the queue again.

Don't worry, it will be fast!

Sweet, found it and fixed it! I'll hurry and get the next version out so you can get the fix!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Don't worry, friends pictures will be implemented in the next version. And the go back button is the pink square in the top left corner :)

Sorry if my question is already asked. It keep on saying me: "there was a server time out. Make sure you have an internet connection." I know it's caused due to ISP's DNS block. Can anybody here guide me how to pass through this issue? It would be greadt if OP update this issue at 1st post
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sinoo:
I could help translating to GERMAN. Just let me know.

Doesn't work on a Samsung Omnia Lite, getting unknow error all the time, even after authorization success (link on first post).

How can I send a bug report?

WTF, right after posting this, it entered the app with no error :D

No images are displayed, not even the interface back arrow. Should this work on wqvga?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
Hi!

Sign me up for the Swedish translation!

Hi,

I can do portuguese-portugal translation;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] goducks3620:
If that isn't reason to throw a few bucks in the kitty, I don't know what is. Heading over to paypal right now.

BTW this is what I meant by "a little squashed" on a 320x240 Samsung Intrepid touchscreen. Everything else is fine except for the boot up and home page.

XDA Facebook Graphics

I saw in one of the signatures of the developers that they were open to graphics for the app so here are some graphics I put together for it.

FYI The pngs and psds are HQ for some reason xda album makes them grainy T^T

Screenshots:

Tell me who to pm them to and I'll send them over.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] MattOG:
Joe coolish wants the graphics. Nice and clean by the way... Will re-upload mine, seems they got lost in the server corruption malarky...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
To all:

Thank you SOOOO much for the donations and the comments!

I had a "surprise" assignment given to me on wednesday to do a 20 video on Internet Gaming Addiction from my Computer Science 404 class (due monday).... Anyways, 4:00 am this morning I finally finished it (the video is EPIC btw)

I will hopefully be back on tonight to answer everything.

For an update to the project: I started some work with downloading images and well... Not so much. I will post on that later.

BTW, that graphic looks AWESOME!!! joe.coolish@gmail.com is where you can send it!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
YES!!! This for sure i like (Like Joda would have put it)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mrhayami:
Thanks! :3 I'll be sending them over shortly just renaming all the layers so they are clear and concise.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] daniking:
Hi Joe .

I'm still waiting for iranian version :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Alright, finally some time :)

So, this has been a really busy week to say the least.

As for images, this is probably what is going to happen and the dilemma that I have. The splash screen's main thread does 2 things, first checks to see if there is an update then checks the stored auth code for validity. While that is going on, the image manager is going to read all of the stored profile thumbnails and store them in main memory. This is the only way to maintain the smoothness that I require.

This is also where the problem comes. My device isn't the average WinMo device, so I don't know how well this will work on other devices. I have about 500 friends on facebook and 70ish thumbnails came to be about 150-200 kb. So, all my friends' thumbnails will hit around 1-1.5mb of memory. I really don't want to cache that much data on a device if I don't have to! That is A LOT for a phone.

I've been playing with reading the images as they are requested, from off the disk. This caused about 100ms of delay which made the application almost unusable. If I preloaded all of the thumbnails in my feeds (there are always 25) all at once, there was a 3-5 second pause from click to the actual page displaying. If I did it on the fly, it caused the scrolling to be terrible.

I will implement what I'm thinking this week and if all goes well then I'll post a new beta for people to try out. I'm really hoping that we don't get "Out of Memory" exceptions!

As for the graphic, I did get the PSD and I'm not working on implementing "skinning". I've made the GUI in a way that should be very easy to skin. Once I get everything in, I'll post some instructions on how to create custom skins for the application.

Finally, for translation (and for versions that don't use the facebook domain) I am going to strip out all the magic strings (and urls) and store them in INI files in the main directory. Then we can start the translation! Yay!!!

Hopefully this week slows down and i can get some work done!

Have a good night!

I am on energy rom 21680 chinese

and I always got there is an unknow error

any idea ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] angusc:
Ni Hao Ji Hong,

If you are located in China then Facebook is blocked by the government. I still have not been able to get Facebook on to my mobile even when using a VPN connection to another server (such as StrongVPN).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jihong:
thank you for reply

Actualy I come from Taiwan

and I can use Opera connect to facebook

but can't use xda-facebook connect.

that was so sad, because this one looks much better for me

so I ust want to find out how to use this on my phone.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hippo2s:
I don't think Energy ROM came in Chinese?

I have Energy (29.9.2010 WWE) 21916 ROM + LEO_TC_HKCW Fonts+IME_Global NLS pack, which gives me ability to read and write Chinese and I have no problem with this app.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jihong:
I install ime-droid.cab from internet for support read & write chinese

so, I say that energy rom 21680 chinese.....sorry for that, because I don't know how to say.

and Is this app support !#@...etc as facebook passwd?

any way thank you !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yay! initial image tests are a success! speed and smoothness are still really good :)

few issues still, but otherwise stuff is pretty good!

oh, and the app supports all chars. well, latin based chars atleast
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lycox:
The graphics are looking very nice :)

Just my own opinion: They are a bit too big. An inner margin of let's say 5px each side (in addition) would be better. Then, there is no need for a grid too ;)

P.S.:

I'm wondering, how they would look like without the glass shader?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
The app supports full skinning, so if you want to make your own skin feel free :) with the next update I will list the full skinning outlines. Basically, the process will be naming files correctly and placing them in the "resources" folder. They will load during the splash screen and replace all of the existing images.

More on that once things get wrapped up
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Heart1010:
+1 on that comments... even more than 5px I think would be fine ;)

error...

hi bro,

my phone LG Gw550 running windows mobile 6.5 standard

when i run the application,

got this error error..

" An unexpected error has occurred in XDAFacebook.exe "

" XDAFacebook.exe NotSupportedException "
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lycox:
Sounds great :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] grymcent:
Awesome!

If, as you say, it will be just swap and rename a few pics, we can do a mort script to do the work for us.

I'll pm a suggestion over.

Swiping

Hi,

Nice work and I'm really looking forward to the final application.

I like the effect that if I click on something the screen slides to the right and when I click back it slides left again. Seeing this I think it would be a great feature if you could swipe left to go back. It would be really finger friendly that way.

Keep up the good work!

what about facebook places support?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] swax:
started getting an error in feeds.. profile.. inbox..:(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] grymcent:
What speed of Update is it set too or is it push? can this be set? wil this be able to be set-able?

Is there a way of setting notifications of new messages? This is one of the main issues of the Sense facebook Tab. you have to remember to check it.

grymcent
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
can you post a picture of the error?

thanks :)

1 min. It can't be set yet, once I get a base model I'll add menus that allow for configuration and stuff.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stetzen:
Thanks for the great app! It is really nice to see that some people have not forgotten WinMo in the era of Android and WP7.. Made a donation (4W9031663X8541804)

Works great on the Samsung i900 Omnia with Russian 6.1 rom.

Will be happy to help with Russian translation (if you'll need it).

Just a few questions about future plans.. Do you have any plans about importing a photo from a camera? Seems to be an extremely useful feature in MS app..

And do you have any plans about Facebook Places? AFAIK currently there is no way of using this feature on WinMo at all

Best wishes!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you very much!

As for importing photos, yes! And videos :) I feel that these are very necessary and they aren't any harder than sending posts or mail.

As for Facebook Places... I have a confession. I really don't use facebook :eek: I'm afraid I don't know what Facebook Places are :D

Is it something like Google Lattitude?

Oh, p.s. I'll be finishing up a new version here in the next couple of hours :D And it's a BIG update!

I'm going to need to make a fix really quick, should be done in 30 mins. It will be update 3.5.1
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Ok, patch has been uploaded. Let me know if it works now :)

Dang Facebook :) They modified their login functionality and it broke my login routine. I'm making a new routine that models FBTabs' login. That should be more future proof :)

Thanks and sorry for the hiccup!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aa125690:
You're so quick, mate:D!

It works now.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Good to hear :) Blah, that could have been terrible!

Very big update !!!

and no problems for the moment ...

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] grymcent:
Now that 3.5.x is out I would like some help with joe_coolish with themes.

I am creating a script to help make this easier, so please let us know your suggestions.

Mainly I will need some graphics. I can make them, but I would prefer to concentrate on the scripting and have people who are better at graphics than me create them.

Cheers for your help

uhhmmm i´ve tried all the new versions and i tried many different rom´s, with reinstalling net compact framework oveer and over again, but i keep getting the an error message when trying to log in saying: "there was an unknown error"

i have a diamond with windows mobile 6.1 and gen.y´s rom ..what can i do?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Corwin9S:
hello

sounds great... but unfortunately when I try to log, PocketIE will open as soon as the button's name in the app change in "logging in". And in PIE it's a connexion to "m.facebook.com/login.php", without keeping password and without been connected,... If I log in with PIE, it's ok, but the app. will stay in "loggin in" mode.

btw:

- french official ROM windows 6.1

- omnia 1

EDIT

by the way... it's ok (even keeping infos for connecting) if the soft is installed on the main memory. Waiting for all stuffs to be activated, but meanwhile... really good job !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] daniking:
:(

Im Still waiting for iranian version :(

did you made that for us ?

I am pursuing it
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stetzen:
Yes, kind of.

Unfortunately, I've just found out that there is no public API for check-in currently, so it's not possible to implement it as for now :(

The 3.5 works great! Some minor points...

When something is posted form the web, the app displays only the user comment, but not the content of the message (and not the thumbnail). Is there any way to fix it?

The app icon (e.g. web, video, photo...) is displayed instead of user photo if the message is not a simple status change. These icons are pretty useful, but I think they should not replace the actual upic. It is possible to make them smaller and place under the actual user photo (like the Facebook Web does), but probably someone will come up with a better solution.

If you are viewing a specific item (e.g. status or photo), and you've tapped on it, it kind of loads again, and you need to press "back" multiple times to get tho the feed.

But all these are really minor issues, now the usability nearly bits the MS app!

Thank you for a great work!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] goducks3620:
Pics look great and scrolling seems to flow better.

Bottom half of the "home" bar is cut off on an Intrepid (320x240) when it's on the news feed etc, only half a house is visible.

I agree, it's already better than the MS version (which currently is inoperative).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] grymcent:
I like the new version, but I do have one problem;

I can run it once and can use it fully. but in the background an error occurs.

and every time thereafter it will not start.

Raphael woes

I just downloaded the 3.5.1 beta and installed it on my AT&T Fuze (Raphael) with Tael ROM, and also get the "There was an unknown error" message every time I try to login.

After entering name/pwd and hitting the Submit button, the app will say "logging in..." for about 20 seconds and then I get this error message. I'll keep checking back on this since I really want a working FB app. :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
lol, I like your avatar! :)

anyways, check \Program Files\XDAFacebook\XDAFacebookDebug.xml and send that text to me. That will tell me more about the unknown error

Thanks!

"There was an unknown error"

Unfortunately I get the "There was an unknown error" error aswell, exactly as described earlier, after 20 seconds or so of waiting (after logging in).

I have attached the requested file... >>> View attachment XDAFacebookDebug.zip

Hi Joe_coolish

Uninstalled XDAFacebook

Uninstalled NETCFv3.5.Messages.EN.cab

Uninstalled NETCFv3.7

Reinstalled NETCFv3.7 & NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab Reboot

Reinstalled XDAFacebook

Wi-fi on:

Run XDAFacebook

Load screen good, Log in screen, log in fie

log out

log in fine

exit

run fine

Wi-fi OFF

Load screen good Log in screen good

Log in = "Unknown Error"

Once logged in with WI-FI ON I can turn it off and it will still work

G

Just discovered something that may help

If I log in with Wi-Fi active then kill the wi-fi it works

if I close the app and restart the app it auto logs in and then there are no issues.

It is something to do with the log in screen sending info probably over 3G.

it may be operator specific!!

I am on Orange

included is my xml

I deleted it (1) and let it create another (2)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hmmmm, that is very interesting. I wonder what's up! I'll have to make a diagnostic tool to see what is going on!

Maybe it's a proxy issue?!
