Twitter image problem

[Astrovic]

I can not render the image when I use twitter. I tried both with a remote image that with a local image, but the image is not never displayed.

[viezel]

Please show me your code

[Astrovic]

this is the code. I've try with blob, local and remote image

//var image = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,"image.jpg").read()    
if(Social.isTwitterSupported()){ //min iOS5 required
    Social.twitter({
        text:"message text...",
        image : Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory+"image.jpg", // image,
        //image:"http://ilgrillotalpa.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/twitter.png",
        //image:"KS_nav_ui.png"
        url:"http://www.google.com"
    });
}

I have the same issue, both local and remote

[viezel]

okay this is retarted. I do see the same behaviour here. The super odd thing is that it works for Social.facebook() which is the same function in my module. look here: https://github.com/viezel/TiSocial.Framework/blob/master/Classes/DkNappSocialModule.m#L270 Plus it looks like it is behind the placeholder foto.

I really dont know how to fix this... have you testet this is another iOS version? like 6.0? what about older version of my module?

sorry, im not very helpful.

I remember having the same issue with another module like yours. Isn't it so that the Twitter implementation wants a blob instead of a path?

By the way; did you see my wrapper lib? I want to extend it to provide as much clever fallbacks for devices and OS versions as possible: https://gist.github.com/FokkeZB/5458506

HI Fokke, Twitter discontinued their 1.x API and are only using the newer. Im actually not sure which one is used in the iOS Social.framework. Nice wrapper. Im not a big fan of big wrappers, but I can see the idea of people that does not want to get into all the sharing posibilities. :)

btw, this is incorrect: https://gist.github.com/FokkeZB/5458506#file-share-js-L92 You need a method for doing the compare.

/**
 * Compare SDK version.
 * function returns true if first argument is equal or higher than second argument
 * @example versionCompare( "2.0.1","2.0");
 * @param {String} Version
 * @param {String} Version
 * @return {Boolean} Result
 */
versionCompare = function(left, right) {
    if (typeof left + typeof right != 'stringstring')
        return false;  
    var a = left.split('.'), b = right.split('.'), i = 0, len = Math.max(a.length, b.length);   
    for (; i < len; i++) {
        if ((a[i] && !b[i] && parseInt(a[i]) > 0) || (parseInt(a[i]) > parseInt(b[i]))) {
            return true;
        } else if ((b[i] && !a[i] && parseInt(b[i]) > 0) || (parseInt(a[i]) < parseInt(b[i]))) {
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true; //equal
}

Back to the issue. ill try to look at the twitter api, but im quite sure this feature have worked all the time :S

[viezel]

the docs wants an UIImage: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Reference/SLComposeViewController_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012205

[raulriera]

I think the problem here is that you are using an URL as well... and silly iOS puts the "URL placeholder" on top of the image (happened to me before)

[FokkeZB]

Nope, if I leave out the URL it doesn't get the image neither.

[ygbr]

are you guys observing photo_size_limit ?

[FokkeZB]

@ygbr I've used pictures of various sizes, including 140x140 to 800x1600.

[jmargolese]

I did get all images to load, for all services but messages. I've reduced the size to 100x100, but it still doesn't show. Does anyone know if the messages sharing supports MMS/images?

Any suggestions help would be appreciated!

thx

 if (Social.isActivityViewSupported()) {//min iOS6 required
        logger.info("image dir: " + Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory);
        Social.activityView({
            text : "share like a king!",
            image : Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory + "instagram80.png",     
            removeIcons : "print,sms,copy,contact,camera,weibo"
        }, [{
            title : "Instagram",
            type : "hello.world",
            image : Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory + "instagram80.png"
              // '/images/instagram80.png'
              // Ti.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory + 'images/instagram80.png
        }]);
    } else {
        //implement fallback sharing..
    }

I'm also having this problem. I opened up a Stack Overflow question about it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22797836/titanium-js-cannot-use-an-image-stored-in-sqlite-database-in-tisocial-module

Has there been any updates?
