I am using the phonegap facebook Connect plugin to enable facebook login in my app. However the facebook email is being returned as undefined.
Do I need to add something into my code? I have looked up this issue on the internet and it seems my code should work. Everything else is returned except for the email address.
I would appreciate if you can help
Here is my javascript code:
facebookConnectPlugin.api('/me?fields=id, email, link, name, picture', ["public_profile"],function(data){
var fb_user_id = data.id;
var fb_email = data.email;
var fb_name = data.name;
var fb_picture_url = data.picture.data.url;
var fb_user_link = data.link;
alert("fb_email" + fb_email);
}); //end api call
Edit:
I tried a test user account with this code and the email address DID get returned. However for the real account I was testing with this doesn't work.
With more testing I tried adding in the email permission as follows however this did not work as the data that I got back stated "FACEBOOK_NON_JSON_RESULT"
facebookConnectPlugin.api('/me?fields=id, email, link, name, picture', ["public_profile", "email"],function(data){
var fb_user_id = data.id;
var fb_email = data.email;
var fb_name = data.name;
var fb_picture_url = data.picture.data.url;
var fb_user_link = data.link;
alert("fb_email" + fb_email);
}); //end api call
I find a workaround for this problem which was to do two separate api requests as follows:
facebookConnectPlugin.api('/me?fields=email', ["email"], function(apiResponse) {
//alert("api" + JSON.stringify(apiResponse));
fb_email = apiResponse.email;
alert("fb_email" +fb_email); //email being retrieved successfully
facebookConnectPlugin.api('/me?fields=id, name, link, picture', ["public_profile"],function(data) {
alert("data" + JSON.stringify(data));
var fb_user_id = data.id;
var fb_name = data.name;
var fb_picture_url = data.picture.data.url;
var fb_user_link = data.link;
alert("fb_user_id" + fb_user_id);
alert("fb_name" + fb_name);
alert("fb_picture_url" + fb_picture_url);
alert("fb_user_link" + fb_user_link);
//do stuff with facebook user data here
}
,function(error){
//api call failed
alert("api call Failed: " + JSON.stringify(error));
}); //end api
}
,function(error){
alert("email api call Failed: " + JSON.stringify(error));
}); //end api
This works perfect!
