Hi,
I am making an app and I want to use Facebook chat in it. Meaning I want to enable for people can log in using Facebook and select friends and message them. I tried looking in the developers section of Facebook and couldnt find anything related to chatting. Is this not possible? Anyone have any information on this? I think its possible since apps like Go!Chat does it.
Thanks!
Sorry if this is the wrong section I am new here.
It is possible, but considering that Facebook themselves already have an app dedicated for this, there isn't much interest in developing another chatting app, especially if it can only pull from a person's Facebook contacts.

Or probably you need to contact the fb business unit for a partnership agreement

I like this a lot too, I like how it shows if it's been read already or not too.
I just wish more people used it
Personally I prefer Whatsapp, 'cause it's more widely used, and havent had any problems with it yet. One time payment for iphone, and free trial period for android

yeah but member this 1 is FREE for every smartphone just need some good updates like add photos and post our own status and would be the shisnetss
does it do group chat?
no group chat
I used Whatsapp and personally like it better, but I like Kik's ability to tell you when it is sent\delivered\read while Whatsapp just tells you if its sent\delivered. I don't need group chat so that's a moot point for myself
PingChat has group chat, shows when send/read, can send pics, video, audio, contacts, maps. And it's free.

I'm currently using pingchat for these reasons. That and Kik was draining the battery on my Incredible :-/
Couple of gripes I have with KiK and had to get rid of it. From my limited use (2-3 days), I learned:
-you cannot log out of KiK.
-it automatically adds contacts without your approval and worse, it lets these contacts know you've signed on to KiK as well. I dont know about others but I dont necessarily want IM access to everyone in my contact list.
-it adds people that you dont even know (saw ppl on my list that I dont know) to your contact list.
-You can get random requests from ppl you dont know to add you just the same.
It seems like a very good beginning efforts but more control and privacy measures need to be put into before I'll try it again.
And, lastly, it was draining my battery ...
These are all from personal use and observation.
Interesting article. It lists upcoming features.

Sorry. Can't post links yet.
You'd think this would be a built in feature...I have a group of people I need to email on a regular basis, but the only way I can do it in the gmail app is by "Reply All" to a previous email and delete all the old email/subject...
Why in heaven's name can't I easily email multiple people from the app? I can do it online on my laptop...am I missing something here, or is this just a glaring oversight on Google's part?
Really? Nobody knows this?

Oversight.
Best suggestion, as you've already figured out, is save a draft with the contact info.
AMAZING

That seems like a pretty big oversight...what a bunch of goons. Thanks.
These are the same guys that omitted sending to groups in the text messaging program.
not to hijack, but how i can i get images to automatically display on my emails?

Ha, that's a very good point that I had forgotten...
Nothing chaps my ass more than little **** like that that's forgotten/omitted.
A year later, and those fools still haven't updated the app so users can send emails to distribution lists they've setup. Jerks.
A working solution
This method was described somewhere on these forums, and it works. I am just repeating what someone else discovered.
Make a new contact, using a name which is meaningful to you.
For the email address, build a list of the emails for everyone in the group, using this pattern:
[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,<[email protected]
NOTE the >,< between each contact, but nothing before the first email in the list, and nothing after the final email in the list.
This works around the missing group function.
Download and use ContactGroupU from the Google Play store.
on your computer go to gmail and add those contacts in some group and call it something for example "912dd" and go on the app and in the "To:" Area start typing the name "912dd" and select it when it shows up
Hi
I've searched for a solution to this problem and cannot find it. It either seems to work for people or it doesn't. As I understand it since a Gmail update at the end of last year this should work. So why isn't it for me?
The problem is when I receive a calendar invite in my email, on my old Galaxy S3 it would need to open the ICS in Calendar for me to be able to accept it. This was not ideal but it worked and I was never able to improve it. In my new Oneplus, it's even worse - if the invite is from Outlook I just get a blank email, with no ICS let alone yes/no options. From Google Calendar, I get weblinks and it takes me to a browser version of the calendar.
I cannot get my head round this, how can it be that the iPhone app by default has simple yes/no/maybe buttons that work in the email without jumping to any other app, but on Google's own phone it seems to have a problem with such a basic feature?
Please help, driving me mad! :crying:
Cheers
No-one?
OK, so can someone help me out with how this SHOULD work?
Here's what I see in the iOS app with an invite from Outlook:-

And here is what I see in Android:-

If the invite is from gmail, iOS works exactly the same but Android shows up like this, with weblinks:-

Is this the same for everyone? If you see something different can you please post it and help me work out why I see something different? Surely Google's own OS should be able to handle calendar invites at least as well as it's app on iOS?!
Thanks!
Slightly shocked that not one person has replied with simply whether they see the same as me or not. Guess I'll have to go elsewhere
Same Here

In the past, I had "Invitation Plugin" installed to be able to add the invitations to my calendar. But now, since there is no attachment or .ics or anything, even that doesn't work. I get the same "blank" emails as you. This is very frustrating as my wife and I use invitations for everything. She sends them, and I have to get to a PC to open my Gmail to see (and accept) the invitations. Very frustrating when this used to work.
I hope somebody has some answer/workaround for this.
I found a workaround. There's an app called Cal by any.do. It's just a calendar app, but, it does have an indicator/filter that shows pending invitations and allows you to accept/deny and notifies the meeting chair. This is mildly better than searching the entire calendar trying to find the pending invite.
So, when the email comes in, pop over to Cal and do the needful. Not perfect, but better than where I was before.
Thanks for replying, nice to know I'm not alone in this issue Yeah me and the wife do exactly the same
Yep, Cal seems to provide a workaround of sorts, thanks for sharing it. Seems utterly nuts that Google should make their own solutions work better on a competitive platform to their own. Very very poor
If anyone else has any solutions or comments would love to hear them
Cheers
same problem here
I'm running the latest gmail update (v 5.0) on KitKat and I get the same problem - google calendar invites present a links only that take me to a webpage. on gmail for my iPad get big easy buttons to use. How is it possible that the experience is better on iOS than Android?
Same problem here. Confirmed that it is because the invitation is from Outlook. Why is there no solution? Seems like the bug is on the Android Gmail client.
Still no solution available in June - as far as I can tell - is this some kind of spat with Microsoft?
It's a real PITA whatever it is...not what I expected running the latest software versions available.

I am facing the similar issue. My problem is bigger - I get at least 30-35 outlook exchange invites on my gmail account and my Gmail App shows just the emails (it doesn't show the date and time) which is sad. All the time, I have to check the calendar app, open each invite / meeting requests and select - Yes / No / Maybe from the Calendar. I so wish that the Android Gmail App comes up with a simple feature (just like you have shown for iOS Gmail App.) so that at least we will know that the email which we have received is an actual Outlook Meeting invite and not a standard email. Can somebody please contact Google Android department and raise this issue? I have tried to report this on the official Google App. Gmail forum but no luck on their response so far.
Again, thanks for bringing this up here on XDA.
so basically there's this annoying guy or stalker that keeps stalking and exposing my instagram profiles. I'm extremely annoyed by his lack of respect for my privacy so i want to find out the account he uses to stalk me. does anyone know of a way i can see who views my instagram account or simply just block him?

Instagram only stores viewing info for the discover algorithm (on the search tab), they don't allow you to access yours or anyone's viewed information, as in you don't receive any of that data. If you want privacy, why not private your account? And block him as well.

I dont want to make it private because I want others to see my profile just not him. And even if i block him he has another account which im not aware of. but thanks anyway
To be frank, there is no way to find out. Since the company doesn't share any information with third-party apps. The apps available on the internet are fake.
You can read a detailed blog post on this here (https://geekermag.com/who-stalks-my-instagram-profile/)
There is now lol
I posted this in the reddit android section and they removed it because it "didn't benefit the community". That's bs because its a real problem that I know there's general confusion over. I rephrased and reposted on reddit, but in case they don't want to be helpful I decided to post the same question here.
This question is to help the whole android community. I've heard this question from others, so I decided to ask it for anyone whom may need it answered.
I tried to message someone with Google's new app Allo, but people don't seem to be getting my messages. Do both sides need Allo, or does it work as a alternative to the regular sms app.
Also when I use the regular sms Messenger app, people respond and it comes through the Hangouts app. I tried to change the sms settings within the Hangouts app but it doesn't seem to be helping.
When I use Google Now, I don't know what app it uses or if there is a way to choose which app Google Now will use.
There's general confusion on this and it would be awesome if someone who's versed in this can spell it out for us. How can we unify our apps? Can we use Allo as our default sms messenger app?
Don't remove this post. I posted a legitimate question that will benefit anyone who's not sure exactly what the differences are between Allo, Hangouts, and Messenger.
