    <p>I'm trying to integrate posting to one's wall from within my app. I already have an area where the user can save his/her username and password (encrypted). I would like my program to recall the saved username and password, pass that to Facebook for authentication, and then allow the app to post simple text (maybe a link too) to the user's wall. </p> <p>That said, I've read everything on the developer pages at Facebook (the api looks completely foreign to me... I've never done any type of web app development before... just desktop apps), and experimented with the Java libraries <a href="https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk" rel="noreferrer">here</a> but to be honest, I don't understand any of the various implementations. Some claim to be simple to use, but apparently they are all way above my head. </p> <p>I've even tried messing with the official Facebook Android SDK, but that uses a webview interface, and I can't pass in the username and password for easy authentication. Plus, I'm still clueless as to how to post to the wall even after correct authentication.</p> <p>Please help. Thanks.</p> <p>Oh, btw I already have a Facebook API key and Application ID.</p> <p>[UPDATE 1]</p> <p>For further clarification: If I use the following code snippet with the official Facebook Android SDK <a href="http://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk" rel="noreferrer">http://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk</a> what should I do next (after the user has logged-in)? This is unclear to me.</p> <pre><code>Facebook facebookClient = new Facebook(); facebookClient.authorize(this, "[APP ID]", new String[] {"publish_stream", "read_stream", "offline_access"}, this); </code></pre> <p>where "this" is an Activity that implements a DialogListener, and "[APP ID]" is my Facebook application ID.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>[UPDATE 2]</p> <p>I found a solution (see below), though the only thing missing is the ability to auto-populate the login text boxes with the data I have stored in the app. The official Facebook Android SDK may not allow for this. I'll keep looking into it.</p>

    1. COI have not found a way to do this status update "in the background", without displaying a dialog. I've tried using the Graph API directly with the access_token provided by the SDK for Android, and it just won't work. No exceptions however.

    2. COI'm still getting it working, but the Single Sign-on option can login without username/password, if they already use facebook on their phone. It still requests authorization.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
