Share on Facebook in the Launch in Native App Button

Hello, I'm working with BT 1.5, developing for iOS, with xcode 4. Is there any way to embed the Share on Facebook/Twitter option in the Launch in Native App Button? I'm uploading several quotes in my app, and I would like user to share on Facebook/Twitter everyone of them.. basically every quote is a text screen, so the idea was to have the botton app bar, with the Launch in Native App Botton, and the FB/twitter option within. Is there possible?

I guess you mean launch the native Facebook and native Twitter app from the toolbar button. iOS will launch any app that has what's called a schema registered with iOS. Have a look at this: http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes#Facebook These are the schemas you enter in the control panel when using the launch native app button. Some work, some don't, experiement.

Thank you David to reply me, Useful explanation, as always. Just a question: for control panel you mean the BT control panel? Because I explored it but I couldn't find any option regarding the Native App Button.. Sorry if this is a stupid question but.. I'm lost but trying ;)

Not a stupid question...not are. The choice is near the end of the long drop-down of things to add. It's in the Other features category at the bottom.

I toyed around with this a lot myself. It's easy enough to get the native fb app to open but I don't think it's possible (last I checked) to make that app open up to your own profile. Or... maybe you can do a person's profile, but I made a page specific for my app and at this point FB doesn't support a direct url to those types of pages.

Ok, Thank you both. My app is almost finished, so I think I will submit it to app without those social options, because it seems It will get time. I think I will publish it as an app update :)
