Facebook Javascript SDK inside a Spotify App, possible? - javascript

I guess the title is clear enough.
I would like to import the Javascript SDK of Facebook inside a Spotify App. Mainly to use the Dialog feature.
Does someone know if it is possible?

possible answer/workaround. https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/apps/docs/beta/09321954e7.html
the API has a showAuthenticationDialog, but what it actually does is that it shows a popup that closes when the url parameter is loaded inside that popup. if the authenticatewith facebook isn't enough for you then this might be a possible solution to use, you can use it with facebooks page too. if you just open a link regularly it will open up outside Spotify.
you still might be able to use the facebook js sdk though, but if it uses popups you'll need to use this in it instead.

You don't need the JS SDK to use the Dialog feature. All dialogs have a plain old URL you can send users to (within a popup, or the main window).
For example, the Feed dialog:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI

Close popup in chrome while dom is getting loaded

I am using the latest version of selenium web driver and google chrome browser.
In my app, after clicking on login button while dom is getting loaded I get a popup
image
I just want to close this popup without entering any value. I am using java for scripting.
I tried javascript executor, all popup handlers from selenium but not able to close the same. I am not able to shift control on the popup window.
I google a lot but didn't found any relevant code
This is a default behavior when using HTTP basic authentication. To stop this window to come you would need to send user and password in the request. Or as I understand from other response I found about this you can write:
driver.get("http://UserName:Password#Example.com");
There seems to be a similar issue, going on in thread: How to handle authentication popup with Selenium WebDriver using Java
If all you want to do is "Cancel" the popup, instead of entering credentials. You may be able to just use this.
driver.switchTo().alert().dismiss();
using AutoID was able to resolve above issue.

Facebook Feed Dialog simplified?

I'm trying to add a share button or "feed dialog" as Facebook now seem to be pushing, to posts on my website. I'm basically looking for a way to simply allow users to click the button and be sent to the share preview page to post to their timeline or a friend's timeline etc.
The problem is that I don't really need an app (or at least I don't see the need in an app) and I'd like to avoid using their deprecated sharer url method.
What are my options? Can I use the feed dialog method without creating an app? I've tried going through their documentation but it just confuses me.
I'm not fussed whether it's JavaScript that opens a popup or if it redirects to a separate page (provided a redirect url can be provided to return users to the original page on my website).
you definitely need an app for the FB.ui feed dialog, but the user does not have to be logged in. Without an app, you can either use the sharer.php in a javascript popup, or you can use a like and/or send button. Just make sure to include Open Graph metadata in your page.

Be aware that you should also use an app (id) with the like or send button.

PhoneGap App: FB Share via API without FB Popup

We plan on building a PhoneGap App and want to give the user the possibility to share information on Facebook.
We wonder if this is possible with the FB JavaScript SDK without leaving our app that means without having FB open its Share Dialog.
Well, and when it is possible does anyone know of an tutorial which kind of describes how we will do this?
If you ask for PUBLISH_STREAM permission from the user, there will be no dialog at all.

Prevent tweet URLs from being opened by native Twitter app on Android

I'm working on an app built in Titanium that has a few "Tweet about this" buttons. Since I can't use the Javascript part of a Tweet button as described in Twitter API, I just use a plain URL with parameters.
On Android, this causes problems. When users click this link, they get a choice how to open it: always the native browser, and additionally any app that has registered for this kind of link. So if the user has the Twitter app installed, Twitter will be shown as one of the options.
That would be great, except the Twitter app is awful. Most types of suggest-a-tweet URL cause the app to crash, and the few that do work don't pass the status text.
I'm looking for a way to force the URL to be opened by the native browser. (Or way to prevent the Twitter app from being among the options presented to the user, but that seems harder to do)
Is this possible using only the URL itself, or maybe a little Javascript? Since I'm using Titanium, Java won't help me.
I can't give you what you want but give you an alternative suggestion.
What you are trying is hard (often impossible to do without errors) even with native code as your trying to work against the OS. Intents are used in android as a way to let the user decide which program should handle a certain request. If you don't want the user to take this decision I'd suggest opening the url in a embedded browser.

Facebook JavaScript SDK, Putting Popups in Divs or IFrames

Basically I want to take the login page popup that is standard to the Facebook JavaScript SDK and put them in a div or iframe so I can load it in-page. Facebook provides a method to do this (here). The problem is that in the built-in method FB.Login(), all the FB.ui calls pass in "popup" instead of "iframe" and I cannot change the code without copying and pasting it all and editing it (not to mention its obfuscated).
Is there a method to intercept pop-up calls? Is there another method to do this that I am not thinking of?
According to this Facebook blog post, "A popup dialog is always required for the initial authorization and permission prompt." For additional permissions that you may need later, you may be able to use an iframe, but even that ability has been recently restricted as noted in that same post. So attempts to intercept the popup call probably won't work, and if you find an exploit, your app runs the risk of being in violation of Facebook's terms.
