Facebook Share (URL based)

This is the most simplest way to add a facebook share button.

Use the following code as the reference(href) attribute of your anchor tag(<a>)

"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=<text or url to post on wall>"

You can use any image to show the share button, but be precise in selecting it,

as the user should get on it easily.

Consider the following sample code:

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://thechaithanya.wordpress.com"><img src="http://www.acrnet.org/uploadedImages/Get_Involved/facebook-logo.png" alt="share on facebook"></a>

If you are developing any applicetion or website and want the post to be displayed as it was posted from your app,

like "via theChaithanya", use the following code:

         "http://m.facebook.com/dialog/feed?app_id=YOUR-APP-ID&link=LINK-TO-BE-POSTED&redirect_uri=PATH-TO-LOCATION-AFTER-SHARE"

On successful sharing it will redirect you to the redirect-url along with post-id.

Note: To get APP-ID, you have to register a developer account and create an app.

Also the redirect url should be added there in the app settings.

Mac Yosemite : Ugly turned out to be Uglier and Ugliest

You might have read my review on Mac OSX Yosemite , The Good, bad and ugly. Now it turned out to be UGLIEST. No more words. Here's the image. If you are on Yosemite, you might be familiar with it. Most of the times, you get stuck on boot logo. I've seen complaints regarding it saying that fellow members are ignorant of it and they deny such possibility, even though many are still facing it. Workarounds suggested by our online friends: Just reboot your mac as many times it takes to your desktop. Boot into safe mode, by holding SHIFT and then reboot. Comment your workaround below, mine is the first one. If you are still on Mavericks, be there till Apple provides a fix for this.

Reverse Engineering : Android Dex files to Class files

In my previous post, we have seen how to extract the contents of img file . After extraction, you will find that most of the files have ".dex" extension. These are Compiled Android application code files. In order to convert them into executable format (.class or .jar), you can use dex2jar tool. Extract it to a proper location and open the terminal to this location. Now run the following command: ./d2j-dex2jar.sh <Path-to-dex_file> It will bundle the dex files into a jar file, and stores it in the current directory. dex2jar can also be used to convert dex files into variuos other formats.
