   A few questions:

   • I don't like the session.resume() method - seems weird. Is this their name? Can we just use session.isLoggedIn()? Or is this the api that causes session to start? Maybe if it is, we could have a session.connect() to cause it to connect and then session.isLoggedIn() would return true/false depending on if you've already done this (or not).

   • is there an API to see if we already have a permission? i.e. I don't want to show dialog if permission has already been granted... how would you do that?

   • we need a logout capability -- session.logout() ?

   Facebook connect (and further OAuth) could be a really killer feature for Desktop as well..

   I ended up implementing the API a little differently.

   Create Login/Logout Button

   Create a Facebook login/logout button and bind it to a specific ID. You can add and remove listeners from this button once created.

      var button = Titanium.Facebook.createLoginButton({
          'id':'b',
          'style':'normal',
          'apikey':Titanium.App.Properties.getString("facebook.apikey"),
          'secret':Titanium.App.Properties.getString("facebook.secret")
      });
      button.addEventListener('login',function()
      {
          console.info("LOGIN");
      });
      button.addEventListener('logout',function()
      {
          console.info("LOGOUT");
      });
      

   The style property can either be normal (default if not specified) or wide.

   Query

   You can execute FQL query.

      Titanium.Facebook.query("select uid,name from user where uid == "+Titanium.Facebook.getUserId(),function(r)
      {
          console.info("QUERY RESULT RETURNED success = "+r.success+", error = "+r.error+", data="+r.data);
      });
      

   Explicit Login

   You can cause explicit login

      Titanium.Facebook.login(function(result)
      {
         console.info("login success="+result.success);
      });
      

   Explicit Logout

   You can cause explicit logout

      Titanium.Facebook.logout(function(result)
      {
         console.info("logout success="+result.success);
      });
      

   Login status

   You can determine the login status.

      Titanium.Facebook.isLoggedIn();
      

   Login user id

   You can determine the user id of the logged in user or null if not logged in

      Titanium.Facebook.getUserId();
      

   Request extended permission

   You can request extend permissions

      Titanium.Facebook.requestPermission("publish_feed",function(result)
      {
         console.debug("permission success="+result.success);
      });
      

   Publish to Feed

   You can publish to users feed

      Titanium.Facebook.publishFeed(123456789,{'img':'http://foo/bar.png'},'nolan is cool',function(result)
      {
         console.debug("publish success success="+result.success);
      });

   Execute API call

   you can execute a facebook method. the 2nd parameter is optional and is any data (as javascript json object) to pass to the method.

      Titanium.Facebook.execute("facebook.Users.getStatus",null,function(evt)
      {
         console.info("evt = "+evt+", success="+evt.success+",cancel="+evt.cancel+",error="+evt.error+",json="+Ti._JSON(evt.data));
      });
