Few days back I was struggling with Twitter and facebook API for blackberry. I have smash my head with different libraries available for twitter and facebook and finally have got the success by following the Eki Baskoro's Articals. So I just wanted to share the code given by Eki through my blog.

Comments by Eki : "The following is a short HOWTO on using Facebook Connect on Blackberry. I created a simple Facade encapsulating the Facebook REST API as well as added 'rough' MVC approach for screen navigation. I have tested on JDE 4.5 using 8320 simulator. This is still work in progress and all work is GPLed. "

BlackBerry FaceBook Connect:

See code sample provided by Eki Y. Baskoro: Blackberry Facebook SDK
