I'm using facebook-android-sdk-4.19.0 in Android Studio and I followed the Facebook quick start guide at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/getting-started (Click on the Quick Start button to sign in with your own facebook account). In the guide, it's told to copy&paste the following code in the snippet to track app logs
import com.facebook.FacebookSdk;
import com.facebook.appevents.AppEventsLogger;
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
AppEventsLogger.activateApp(this);
}
}
However, when I copy pasted the code in android studio, it appears that all of the FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize() methods are deprecated. The documentation here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/android/current/class/FacebookSdk/ tells nothing about what method to use to initialize the sdk instead of sdkInitialize(). What method should I use?
From the documentation about upgrading SDK:
The Facebook SDK is now auto initialized on Application start. If you
are using the Facebook SDK in the main process and don't need a
callback on SDK initialization completion you can now remove calls to
FacebookSDK.sdkInitialize. If you do need a callback, you should
manually invoke the callback in your code.
Refer to: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/upgrading-4x
UPDATE
In SDK 4.22 the title
, description
, caption
and image
field of FBSDKShareLinkContent
are deprecated. Consider removing them from usage.
FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
This method is deprecated so simply delete this line of code in your class. because according to the latest Facebook we now don't need to initialize the SDK manually, it gets initialize by itself.
So Instead of calling the deprecated methods you can call AppEventsLogger.activateApp(Application)
inside your application class's onCreate()
public class MyApplication extends Application{
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
AppEventsLogger.activateApp(getApplication());
}
}
I had the same issu and this is how I've resolve it :
Put this line of code in your manifest file
<application android:label="@string/app_name" ...>
...
<meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>
...
</application>
