No SocialPerson nickname

[falmanna]

Hello, I'm trying to retrieve the socialPerson nickname, but it gives me cannot resolve variable!! I searched the api-demo and it looks it is used in the showprofile fragment, I copied the fragment and the same happened, Cannot resolve variable.

so what's wrong??

Can you show some code? Hard to make some advises...

@gorbin This code from the ShowProfileFragment.java , you can find it in the api-demos folder everything works well, except the ( builder.append(socialPerson.nickname); ), it is giving me cannot resolve variable on the nickname property? thank you.

    @Override
    public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);

    ImageView avatarImageView = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.avatar_image_view);
    TextView profileURLTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.profile_url_text_view);
    TextView textView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.text_view);

    SocialPerson socialPerson = getArguments().getParcelable(PARAM_SOCIAL_PERSON);

    profileURLTextView.setText(socialPerson.profileURL);

    Picasso.with(getActivity()).load(socialPerson.avatarURL).into(avatarImageView);

    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
    builder.append("ID: ");
    builder.append(socialPerson.id);
    builder.append('\n');
    builder.append("Name: ");
    builder.append(socialPerson.name);
    builder.append('\n');
    builder.append("Company: ");
    builder.append(socialPerson.company);
    builder.append('\n');
    builder.append("Position: ");
    builder.append(socialPerson.position);
    builder.append('\n');
    builder.append("Nickname: ");
    builder.append(socialPerson.nickname);
    builder.append('\n');
    textView.setText(builder.toString());
}

Likely, you cant get nickname from this social network - not all social networks send nickname or user didn't set nickname use name insteed

@gorbin but the developer uses my nickname in his demo, I downloaded the demo from google play, run it, and it worked fine! so why can't I use it?

[antonkrasov]

@abol3z, what social network do you use?

[falmanna]

@antonkrasov Facebook, and I'll use twitter later

[antonkrasov]

@abol3z, not sure that getting nickname will work for Facebook, it was implemented only for Twitter, as only for twitter it has sense...

From Facebook documentation: public_profile Provides access to a person's basic information, including first name, last name, profile picture, gender and age range. This permission is approved by default.

As you see, they don't provide a nickname by default.

@antonkrasov looks like you didn't understand me, the problem isn't that I am not getting username, it is about the nickname attribute .. it is not existed, see this ... i am using it with twitter now, and the same problem, NO NICKNAME ATTRIBUTE FOR THE SOCIALPERSON OBJECT

[antonkrasov]

@abol3z, check your proguard config, possibly it removes it.

@antonkrasov well I found it, the problem was with compiling the library, I was compiling this version, compile('com.github.androidsocialnetworks:library:0.3.2@aar') { exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4' transitive = true }

I added this version also and it works compile 'com.github.androidsocialnetworks:library:0.3.7'

thank you :)
