Spring Social Facebook - publish/post API details

Question

I have been looking into Spring Social Facebook's publish(objectId, connectionName, data) API , but am not sure of the usage of this API (sadly, due to lack of javadocs!). Can someone point me to a comprehensive sample usage of the API, please?

What I am looking to do is publish a story on a user's wall, similar to the below snapshot:

How should the publish() API be used to do the same? Any help is highly appreciated!

Also, I need my post to have additional actions (apart from Like, Comment).

Answer 1

The link given by you already having a lot documentation for method.

Find one example with flow of publish(objectId, connectionName, data) here

Also see many examples for at github-SpringSource for additional actions including publish(objectId, connectionName, data) .

Update:

You might get some help from this method:

public void postToWall(String message, FacebookLink link) {
    MultiValueMap<String, String> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
    map.set("link", link.getLink());
    map.set("name", link.getName());
    map.set("caption", link.getCaption());
    map.set("description", link.getDescription());
    map.set("message", message);
    publish(CURRENT_USER, FEED, map);
}

Answer 2

Here's what I could finally figure out:

MultiValueMap<String, String> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
map.set("link", linkUrlString);
map.set("name", "Link Heading");
map.set("caption", "Link Caption");
map.set("description", "Loooooo....ng description here");
map.set("message", "hello world");

// THE BELOW LINES ARE THE CRITICAL PART I WAS LOOKING AT!
map.set("picture", "http://www.imageRepo.com/resources/test.png"); // the image on the left
map.set("actions", "{'name':'myAction', 'link':'http://www.bla.com/action'}"); // custom actions as JSON string

publish(userIdToPostTo, "feed", map);

Answer 3

Like above answer but I use post for my solution. See this:

 MultiValueMap<String, String> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>(); map1.set("link", "https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006216492034"); map1.set("name", "Project Test Post to Group"); map1.set("caption", "Please ignore this Post"); map1.set("description", "YOLO here is my discription, Please ignore this post"); facebook.post("userId or GroupID", "feed", map);
