Hey everyone,

My first game for Android made with Corona. Sex Invaders, available in the Android Marketplace.

Sorry, no iPhone version. Apple won't allow it.

I was able to create a highscore server and facebook integration too. Let me know if this is interesting to anyone else as I may make the service publicly available if people are interested.

No link? No worries, I'm at work so I couldn't click on it anyway :(

Can you post your facebook posting method using the android side? There are known issues with it using Corona / Android and myself among others would love to know how you are using the facebook posting over an Android device.

I didn't use the facebook.lua module. instead I just created a web popup and directed it to my own server. All the facebook handling is done through the server and OAuth.

You were ahead of me but I'm not far behind! I think this is the best way to use facebook on Android. I've already built my processing page and it was actually easier than using the Corona api for facebook connect (though it is native and would be a bit more seamless)!
Thanks for the tip.

Say, what trick did you use inside the webpopup to get the OAuth to work? I'm able to pass parameters all the way back to the processing webpage on my webserver but the post doesn't ever "popup" like it does in a webbrowser(tested in browser and the post works)..

no tricks, i just connect to my server. the server then redirects to facebook and does the oauth there between the two servers.

I understand. That's exactly what I'm trying to do but still no luck. I just get a white screen on the Android device when posting. Would you care to share your web code that posts to Facebook from your web server?

Hope you like Python ;)
