How do I open Facebook, Twitter and Browser?

Hi,

I need my app to open facebook to my twitter account, facebook page or web site. Any idea how I can do this on android under Unity. Application.OpenURL doesn't seem to work.
Idealy, i would like to try and open the FB or Twitter app if available, if not the web browser.

Thanks,

 

Application.OpenURL does work, e.g. Application.OpenURL("http://www.facebook.com/"); also works to open up the android market Application.OpenURL("market://details?id=com.blah.blah");
I use this and it works fine.

 

What about opening the Facebook application? (not the website)

 

no idea, you'll probably need to write a plugin somehow

 

As far as I can remember, it has to deal with permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml (what activities can launch your activity...). Anyways, when I try to access Facebook or Google+ websites from my Android browser, a popup asks me to use the app instead of the web version. I don't know if this is the norm, but may be a possibility anyways.

PS: If going through the OpenURL path, make your users happy and use https instead of http. I'm still wondering why Facebook doesn't enable secure conections by default :-/

 

Have you found the answer?

 

use "fb://" instead of "https://"

With twitter you can also try 'intents' like this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. void TweetScore() {
3.         string TWITTER_ADDRESS = "http://twitter.com/intent/tweet";
4.         string TWEET_LANGUAGE = "en";
5.        
6.         Application.OpenURL(TWITTER_ADDRESS +
7.                            "?text=" + WWW.EscapeURL("I'm enjoying Slider, by @PlayMedusa!")) ;
8. }
9.
