How to share a windows phone app via facebook?


I'm developing a windows phone 8 app and I want to have a button called share, to share this app on facebook. After I press/tap that button I want the link "www.blabla.com" to appear on my facebook profile if I'm logged, and if not, to appear a dialog of logging which will not be made by me (it must be a package to do this). I'm not really sure if this is possible but it's not me who requests this. I've tried some other web pages (including this: How to share something using the Twitter app on Windows Phone 8?) but I am having a hard time getting solution at this point.

Is it possible to do something like this? Otherwise, any close alternative?

Thank you in advance!


Solution

  • Yes you can use the ShareLinkTaskto share the link over Facebook.

    ShareLinkTask shareLinkTask = new ShareLinkTask();
    shareLinkTask.LinkUri = new Uri( "www.blabla.com", UriKind.Absolute);
    shareLinkTask.Message = "Sample Facebook message!";
    shareLinkTask.Show();
    

    A best reference would be this:

    or even you can refer the one from msdn: How to use the share link task for Windows Phone 8

    Hope it helps!
