Working example of latest android facebook sdk login

Question

I am working on custom facebook login button, I found that there is little source (especially working code example) about the latest facebook android sdk. I spent all day but still the code is not working. I wonder if there is any project example or your project code of:

1. facebook login:
2. share session to other activity/fragment (so I can check the login / logout status in everywhere of the app)
3. post to wall
4. logout

Here are my code, but it actually return non-login status even I am logined

Login:

public class Login {
    private final static String TAG = "FaceBookLogin";
    public Context ctx;
    public Session fb_session;

    public Login(Context _ctx) {
        ctx = _ctx;
        Settings.addLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior.INCLUDE_ACCESS_TOKENS);
        fb_session = Session.getActiveSession();

        if(fb_session == null)                   
            fb_session = Session.openActiveSessionFromCache(ctx);
    }

    public void checkLogin() {
        printHashKey();
        if (fb_session != null && fb_session.isOpened()) {
            Log.i(TAG, "Facebook Login State");
        } else {
            if (fb_session == null)
                fb_session = new Session(ctx);

            Session.setActiveSession(fb_session);
            ConnectToFacebook();
            Log.i(TAG, "Facebook Not login State");
        }
    }

    public void printHashKey() {

        try {
            PackageInfo info = ctx.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.project.hkseven",
                    PackageManager.GET_SIGNATURES);
            for (Signature signature : info.signatures) {
                MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA");
                md.update(signature.toByteArray());
                Log.d(TAG,
                        Base64.encodeToString(md.digest(), Base64.DEFAULT));
            }
        } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
              Log.d(TAG,""+e);
        } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
              Log.d(TAG,""+e);
        }

    }

    private void ConnectToFacebook() {
        Session session = Session.getActiveSession();

        if(session == null)                   
            session = Session.openActiveSessionFromCache(ctx);

        if (!session.isOpened() && !session.isClosed()) {
            Log.i(TAG, "ConnectToFacebook if");
            OpenRequest newSession = new Session.OpenRequest((Activity) ctx);
            newSession.setCallback(callback);
            session.openForRead(newSession);
            try {
                Session.OpenRequest request = new Session.OpenRequest((Activity) ctx);
                request.setPermissions(Arrays.asList("email","publish_stream","publish_actions"));
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.d(TAG,""+e);
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else {
            Log.i(TAG, "ConnectToFacebook else");
            Session.openActiveSession((Activity) ctx, true, callback);
        }
    }

    private Session.StatusCallback callback = new Session.StatusCallback() {
        public void call(final Session session, final SessionState state,
                final Exception exception) {
            Log.d(TAG,"callback" + state);
            onSessionStateChange(session, state, exception);
        }
    };

    private void onSessionStateChange(final Session session,
            SessionState state, Exception exception) {
        Log.i(TAG, "state change");
        if (session != null && session.isOpened()) {
            Log.i(TAG, "Change to Facebook Login");
        }
    }
}

Any kind of help is appreciate , thanks for kindly help

Solution 1

First of all install latest sdk and do something like this:

Under ~\FaceBook-Sdk\facebook-android-sdk-3.5.2\samples.

You will find the samples of whatever you have posted. But may be It will not work. So what you have to do to make it run is:

Make application on Facebook side. Get your fb_api_key from there and put in the project you get from samples.

Solution 2

See this example, it is using Latest Facebook SDK and cover basic login + sharing.

Now do the following changes to your application manifest file. Put the following code before tag. Make sure you are using your own AppID obtained from Facebook developer console.

<activity android:name="com.facebook.LoginActivity"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" />
<meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId"
                android:value="@string/app_id" />

Your Activity Layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:facebook="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:orientation="vertical"

    <com.facebook.widget.LoginButton
        android:id="@+id/fb_login_button"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        facebook:confirm_logout="false"
        facebook:fetch_user_info="true" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/user_name"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_margin="10dp"
        android:textSize="18sp" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/update_status"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/update_status" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/post_image"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        super.onSaveInstanceState(savedState);
        uiHelper.onSaveInstanceState(savedState);
    }

}

This is complete code, which provides login, status update, image update to the point.

Thanks for your help , actually I had go through it before. I looked into SessionLoginSample but that is not so easy to understand and it provide some non-essential code in it. I think I am going to read the hellofacebook one.

[user782104]

I am looking for some tutorial like this: polamreddyn.blogspot.in/2013/12/… . Unfortunatelly this example is not working

[Sagar Shah]

I prefer you to first go for Session Login sample then Hellofaebook.

[Sagar Shah]

This is also good tutorial but It is from old sdk: Check it out if you like to: androidhive.info/2012/03/android-facebook-connect-tutorial

[user782104]

Thanks for your help. I am customzing the Session Login sample and hope it work with the hellosimple for publishing message

[Paresh Mayani]

It's link only answer, you must include essential part from the original source because link might be broken or may no longer exist in future.

[Faisal Basra]

@PareshMayani Please, see my above updated post.

[Pir Fahim Shah]

@FaisalBasra bhaie thumbs up for you...!

[mehmetakifalp]

Actually I dont find anyway for importing facebook jars. Do you know about using jar file with gradle? do you have any code for gradle, auto-import? I m using android studio and I need jar file or gradle code.

[Eenvincible]

What editor are you using?

[Bhoomika Brahmbhatt]

Its giving null value for Email in case of native app is installed in device

[Nitesh Verma]

could you post the code for the manifest file please?

[Apfelsaft]

@Faisal Bastra: You forgot to call postStatusMessage() inside the updateStatusBtn click listener.

[Victor Laerte]

Nice answer! Helped a lot

[madhu527]

u saved my day thanx a lot

[pipacs]

Not working anymore: there is no com.facebook.widget.LoginButton.UserInfoChangedCallback in the latest SDK.

[iOSAndroidWindowsMobileAppsDev]

@pipacs I see you did not accept the answer and added that the example in the link provided stopped working. How did you resolve the matter?

[iOSAndroidWindowsMobileAppsDev]

@Faisal Basra does the link provided work, is the code up-to-date?

[Huy Tower]

Which Android Facebook SDK version you use in this answer?
