In Xcode if I create a UIView and then add the custom class as FBSDKLoginButton, when I click it leads me through the Facebook login and then returns me to the same page as the FBSDKLoginButton but instead of saying login button it says log out now. How would I go about making that when the login button is clicked it lead to a new view?
I downloaded the Facebook SDK through cocoapods and its my first time working with it so I am confused about this. Thanks for the help!
One option would be to set your view controller as a delegate of the FBSDKLoginButton and implement the loginButton:didCompleteWithResult:error: method, which is called when the button is used to login.
Swift
class ViewController: UIViewController, FBSDKLoginButtonDelegate {
@IBOutlet weak var loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.loginButton.delegate = self
}
}
Obj-C
// ViewController.h
@interface ViewController : UIViewController <FBSDKLoginButtonDelegate>
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet FBSDKLoginButton *loginButton;
@end
// ViewController.m
@implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.loginButton.delegate = self;
}
Then, in the loginButton:didCompleteWithResult:error: method you can check the result and error, and if everything is fine, navigate to another view.
Swift
func loginButton(loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!, didCompleteWithResult result: FBSDKLoginManagerLoginResult!, error: NSError!) {
if ((error) != nil) {
// Process error
}
else if result.isCancelled {
// Handle cancellations
}
else {
// Navigate to other view
}
}
Obj-C
// ViewController.m
@implementation ViewController
- (void)loginButton:(FBSDKLoginButton *)loginButton
didCompleteWithResult:(FBSDKLoginManagerLoginResult *)result
error:(NSError *)error {
if (error) {
// Process error
}
else if (result.isCancelled) {
// Handle cancellations
}
else {
// Navigate to other view
}
}
You can find more about how to login with FB in their docs.
In Swift that would be something like:
class MyViewController: UIViewController, FBSDKLoginButtonDelegate {
@IBOutlet weak var loginView : FBSDKLoginButton!
@IBOutlet weak var profilePictureView : FBSDKProfilePictureView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.loginView.delegate = self
if (FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken() != nil)
{
performSegueWithIdentifier("unwindToViewOtherController", sender: self)
}
else
{
loginView.readPermissions = ["public_profile", "email", "user_friends"]
}
}
func loginButton(loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!, didCompleteWithResult result: FBSDKLoginManagerLoginResult!, error: NSError!) {
println("User Logged In")
if ((error) != nil)
{
// Process error
}
else if result.isCancelled {
// Handle cancellations
}
else {
// If you ask for multiple permissions at once, you
// should check if specific permissions missing
if result.grantedPermissions.contains("email")
{
// Do work
}
}
}
func loginButtonDidLogOut(loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!) {
println("User Logged Out")
}
}
Then in your TargetViewController add an unwind function:
@IBAction func unwindToViewOtherController(segue:UIStoryboardSegue) {
}
In current FacebookLogin version (0.2.0) for Swift, the LoginButton delegate property is defined as a strong property:
public class LoginButton: UIView {
...
/// Delegate of the login button that can handle the result, logout events.
public var delegate: LoginButtonDelegate?
... }
If you add the login button following Facebook instructions and you set your UIViewController child class as button delegate...
import FacebookLogin
func viewDidLoad() {
let loginButton = LoginButton(readPermissions: [ .PublicProfile ])
loginButton.center = view.center
loginButton.delegate = self
view.addSubview(loginButton)
}
... a reference cycle will be created. The view will contain a strong reference to the button, the button will contain a strong reference to the controller, and the controller will have a strong reference to its view, see this post.
My solution was to use a weak member variable to have a reference to the login button and when the view disappears, the button delegate is set to nil, like this:
import UIKit
import FacebookCore
import FacebookLogin
import RxSwift
class LoginViewController: UIViewController, LoginButtonDelegate {
private weak var facebookLoginButton: LoginButton? = nil
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Add the Facebook login button
let loginButton = LoginButton(readPermissions: [ .publicProfile, .email, .userFriends ])
loginButton.center = view.center
// WARNING!: Facebook login button delegate property is defined currently as STRONG.
// Therefore, it must be set to nil before leaving the view to avoid reference cycles
loginButton.delegate = self
view.addSubview(loginButton)
// Store the login button as a weak reference, since it is holded by the main view with a
// strong reference
facebookLoginButton = loginButton
}
override func willMove(toParentViewController parent: UIViewController?) {
super.willMove(toParentViewController:parent)
if parent == nil {
// The back button was pressed, interactive gesture used, or programatically pop view
// was executed
// Do not forget to set delegate in Facebook button to nil to break reference cycle.
facebookLoginButton?.delegate = nil
}
}
// MARK: - Facebook login
/**
Called when the button was used to login and the process finished.
- parameter loginButton: Button that was used to login.
- parameter result: The result of the login.
*/
func loginButtonDidCompleteLogin(_ loginButton: LoginButton, result: LoginResult) {
switch result {
case .failed(let error):
// Action on failed
case .cancelled:
// Action on cancelled
case .success(let grantedPermissions, let declinedPermissions, let accessToken):
// Action on success
}
}
/**
Called when the button was used to logout.
- parameter loginButton: Button that was used to logout.
*/
func loginButtonDidLogOut(_ loginButton: LoginButton) {
// Action on logout
}
}
Do not use function viewWillDissapear() for setting to nil the delegate, because Facebook login page will be shown on top of your app, triggering this function, and you will not get the login result since you will not be the delegate anymore. Note that this solution is working fine for views inside a navigation controller. Another solution should be found for modal windows.
I hope it helps, Xavi
IOS 13 use Scene Delegate. Just paste the below code in scene delegate and simple call the facebook login manager it will return the user object of facebook. This function automatically call.
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set<UIOpenURLContext>) {
guard let url = URLContexts.first?.url else {
return
}
let _ = ApplicationDelegate.shared.application(
UIApplication.shared,
open: url,
sourceApplication: nil,
annotation: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey.annotation])
}
You could do this like this tutorial from appcoda (see code below)
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.title = @"Facebook Profile";
// Check if user is cached and linked to Facebook, if so, bypass login
if ([PFUser currentUser] && [PFFacebookUtils isLinkedWithUser:[PFUser currentUser]]) {
[self.navigationController pushViewController: [[UserDetailsViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped] animated:NO];
}
}
#pragma mark - Login methods
/* Login to facebook method */
- (IBAction)loginButtonTouchHandler:(id)sender {
// Set permissions required from the facebook user account
NSArray *permissionsArray = @[ @"user_about_me", @"user_relationships", @"user_birthday", @"user_location"];
// Login PFUser using facebook
[PFFacebookUtils logInWithPermissions:permissionsArray block:^(PFUser *user, NSError *error) {
[_activityIndicator stopAnimating]; // Hide loading indicator
if (!user) {
if (!error) {
NSLog(@"Uh oh. The user cancelled the Facebook login.");
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Log In Error" message:@"Uh oh. The user cancelled the Facebook login." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Dismiss", nil];
[alert show];
} else {
NSLog(@"Uh oh. An error occurred: %@", error);
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Log In Error" message:[error description] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Dismiss", nil];
[alert show];
}
} else if (user.isNew) {
NSLog(@"User with facebook signed up and logged in!");
[self.navigationController pushViewController:[[UserDetailsViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped] animated:YES];
} else {
NSLog(@"User with facebook logged in!");
[self.navigationController pushViewController:[[UserDetailsViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped] animated:YES];
}
}];
[_activityIndicator startAnimating]; // Show loading indicator until login is finished
}
Here is a demo app for this.
