BFF Photo for Facebook on Android Market
August 19, 2009Photos are one of the most used features on Facebook.
BFF Photo is an application to:
- View your Facebook Photos on your Phone
- View your friend’s photos
- Take pictures and videos using the app and upload to Facebook
Find it by searching for “bff” on the Android Market.
Like any other Facebook Application, BFF Photo needs to be authorized. Login to Facebook from the app to do that.
To upload videos and photos, set the Facebook Publish permission. That is done in the app after Login and from the Android Menu. You can set a permission to stay connected to Facebook. That means you will not need to login again.
To Login and retrieve or upload photos, you will need an Internet connection.
Next: A video showing taking a picture and shooting a video. Stay tuned.
Developing Facebook Apps for Android
August 19, 2009“BFF Photo for Facebook” is now on the Android Market.
It is an Android app for viewing the photos you and your friends have posted to Facebook. You can also upload new photos and videos.
Please give it a try. Find it in the market by searching “bff”. If you like it, rate it and comment on the Android market. Post technical questions here.
To interact with Facebook, I am using their new “Simplified Desktop Authorization Flow.“
For API calls, I am using a Java Facebook Client library I developed for talking to the Facebook REST server. I’ll be writing more about it. I intend to clean up the library and ultimately make it open source.
I am using Android Intents to take a photo and capture a video.
Video Demo Coming Soon!
