Facebook API ME for Blackberry

Hi, all

This afternoon, I released Facebook API ME v1.0 for Blackberry. This version uses BrowserField component from RIM API to display the authentication page. As I explained in this tutorial, to use the API for other platforms, you just need to work with the respective wrapper class for the target platform. Regarding Blackberry, you will have to use BrowserFieldAuthDialogWrapper.

...
BrowserField browserField = ...;

AuthDialogWrapper pageWrapper = 
    new BrowserFieldAuthDialogWrapper(browserField);
pageWrapper.setAppId("App Id goes here");
pageWrapper.setAppSecret("App Secret goes here");
pageWrapper.setRedirectUri("Redirect Uri goes here");
pageWrapper.setPermissions(new String[] {Permission.OFFLINE_ACCESS, Permission.PUBLISH_STREAM});
pageWrapper.addAuthenticationListener(this);
pageWrapper.login();
...

Besides the release package, there is also a sample app demonstrating how to implement the authentication process for this platform. Here it goes the download link.

I hope you guys enjoy it.
