hey guys 

does anyone have the code to how to invoke a facebook page?

have been able to do it with foursquare but still stuck with fb

many thanks for you help

this link has the info for invoking applications, for facebook you could invoke it directly or invoke the browser & re-direct it to a specific facebook page

jep i tried it with those infos but how does the code lines have to look like? 

the foursquare ones look like this:

        Invocation {

                id: fsqrInvoke

                query: InvokeQuery {

                        mimeType: "text/plain"

                        uri: "foursquare://venues/4b5af37df964a520e0db28e3"

                        invokeActionId: "bb.action.OPEN"

                }

        }

I don't have a sample but, i read over the Facebook docs & if you're trying to bring up your page, you'll need

to set the metadata of the request object to a QVariantMap that contains the following entries:

QVariantMap payload;
 
payload["object_type"] = "page";
payload["object_id"] = "328506290597521";  // BlackBerry NA Facebook page
 
request.setMetadata(payload);

you might have to do it through c++ though

the browser seems to be simpler

Button {
    attachedObjects: [
        Invocation {
            id: invoke
            mimeType: "text/html"
            uri: "http://www.facebook.com"
            targetId: sys.browser

        }
    ]
 
  onClicked: {
    invoke.trigger("bb.action.OPEN")
  }
}

this will open the browser - for that I even have an easier way: 

        Invocation {

                id: fbInvoke

                query: InvokeQuery {

                        mimeType: "text/html"

                        uri: "http://facebook.com/thecoffeeshophamburg"

                        invokeActionId: "bb.action.OPEN"

                }

        }

but I want to open it in the native fb app

[slashkyle]

using c++ 

void InvokeApp::invokeFacebook(){
	InvokeManager invokeManager;
	InvokeRequest request;
	request.setTarget("com.rim.bb.app.facebook");
	request.setAction("bb.action.OPEN");
	QVariantMap payload;

	payload["object_type"] = "page";
	payload["object_id"] = "328506290597521";  // BlackBerry NA Facebook page

	request.setMetadata(payload);
	invokeManager.invoke(request);
}
