With the release of new facebook SDK 3.5, video uploading has been made easier. If you are using sdk 3.5 or above here is the code for uploading video to facebook
//Path to the video, Ex: path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "myVideo.mp4";
String path;
//get the current active facebook session
Session session = Session.getActiveSession();
//If the session is open
if(session.isOpened()) {
//Get the list of permissions associated with the session
List<String> permissions = session.getPermissions();
//if the session does not have video_upload permission
if(!permissions.contains("video_upload")) {
//Get the permission from user to upload the video to facebook
Session.NewPermissionsRequest newPermissionsRequest = new Session
.NewPermissionsRequest(this, Arrays.asList("video_upload"));
session.requestNewReadPermissions(newPermissionsRequest);
}
//Create a new file for the video
File file = new File(path);
try {
//create a new request to upload video to the facebook
Request videoRequest = Request.newUploadVideoRequest(session, file, new Request.Callback() {
@Override
public void onCompleted(Response response) {
if(response.getError()==null)
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "video shared successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, response.getError().getErrorMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
});
//Execute the request in a separate thread
videoRequest.executeAsync();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
//Session is not open
else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please login to facebook first", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
