• Set up URL scheme for facebook redirect: fbFacebookAppID , where FacebookAppID - Facebook application ID

Odnoklassniki

• Set up properties OdnoklassnikiAppID, OdnoklassnikiSecretKey, OdnoklassnikiAppKey in your info.plist file.
• Set up URL scheme for redirect: okOdnoklassnikiAppID , where OdnoklassnikiAppID - Odnoklassniki application ID

Vkontakte

• Set up VKontakteAppID property in your info.plist file

Usage

Activity controller

    // DO NOT forget to  setup application IDs in info.plist. For more info see README.md
    GPFacebookActivity *facebookActivity = [GPFacebookActivity new];
    GPTwitterActivity *twitterActivity = [GPTwitterActivity new];
    GPCopyActivity *copyActivity = [GPCopyActivity new];
    GPMailActivity *mailActivity = [GPMailActivity new];
    GPMessageActivity *messageActivity = [GPMessageActivity new];
    GPOKActivity *okActivity = [GPOKActivity new];
    GPVKActivity *vkActivity = [GPVKActivity new];
    
    NSArray *activities = @[mailActivity, messageActivity, facebookActivity, twitterActivity,
                            vkActivity, okActivity, copyActivity];
    GPActivityViewController *controller = [[GPActivityViewController alloc] initWithactivities:activities];

    controller.userInfo = @{@"text":@"Message to pass to activities",
                            @"url":[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://github.com/gpinigin"]};
    
    
    [controller presentFromBarButton:sender animated:YES];

Application callbacks

To complete authentication you should register url-schemes and add application callbacks in application delegate:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
         annotation:(id)annotation {
    // For iOS 5.X only
    if ([FBSession.activeSession handleOpenURL:url]) {
        return YES;
    }

    if ([[OdnoklassnikiMgr sharedInstance] handleOpenURL:url]) {
        return YES;
    }

    if ([[VkontakteMgr sharedInstance] handleOpenURL:url]) {
        return YES;
    }

    return NO;
}

Subclassing notes

// Call it when activity is finished
- (void)activityFinished:(BOOL)completed;

// Should returns string that unique identifies your activity
- (NSString *)activityType;

// Override to implement your activity behavior
- (void)performActivity;

Note for iOS5.0: if autoorientation behavior of your controller isn't match to one of GPActivityViewController you MUST subclass GPActivityViewController to override autorotation behavior or present controller modally

Custom activities

You also can make your custom activity using block approach:

   GPActivity *myActivity = [customActivity:@"MACustomActivity" actionHandler:^(GPActivity *activity, NSDictionary *userInfo) {
        // Your code here
        //    ...
        
        // Activity is finished successfully
        [activity activityFinished:YES];
   }];
   
   myActivity.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"myCustom"];
   myActivity.title = @"MyCustom";

You can also specify predefined acitivityInfo:

   NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"google.com"];
   activity.userInfo = @{@"text":@"My custom activity",
                         @"url":url};
