I am implementing push notifications in Android with Firebase Cloud Messaging, and I am implementing Facebook Push Notifications and Facebook In-App Notifications too.
I am following the instructions at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/push-notifications/android to set up Push Campaigns for Android. I already completed the instructions at https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/android/client for setting up a Firebase Cloud Messaging Client App on Android.

This is the line that is generating an error for me:
AppEventsLogger.setPushNotificationsRegistrationId(refreshedToken);
The error is: Cannot resolve method 'setPushNotificationsRegistrationId(java.lang.String)'
and you can see it in the following image:
I thought the Facebook libraries should already be taking care of importing that method. I am using compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.23.1'
in my dependencies and also compile 'com.facebook.android:notifications:1.+'
. Do you have any ideas about what may be causing this error? Maybe I need a newer version of the Facebook SDK? I will appreciate any hints and ideas to fix this error. Thank you.
EDIT 1: I already tried using compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.20.0'
, but I still see the same error.
EDIT 2: I found the following information at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/change-log-4x:
4.11.0 - April 12, 2016 Facebook SDK Added AppEventsLogger.setPushNotificationsRegistrationId and AppEventsLogger.logPush*.
That means that AppEventsLogger.setPushNotificationsRegistrationId did not exist before Facebook SDK 4.11.0, and I am using Facebook SDK 3.23.1. It makes sense that the method setPushNotificationsRegistrationId()
is not recognized. But why is it that even when I use compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.11.0'
in my dependencies and try to compile the app, I still see the same error?
EDIT 3: I am examining the documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/android/current/class/AppEventsLogger/ to learn more about the AppEventsLogger class, and I can see that the setPushNotificationsRegistrationId(String)
method is listed with the following description: Sets a registration id to register the current app installation for push notifications.
What I am using to have access to this class and method is: import com.facebook.notifications.internal.appevents.AppEventsLogger;
. I do not see at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/android/current/class/AppEventsLogger/ any restrictions or documentation about a minimum Facebook SDK or additional requirements to be able to use the setPushNotificationsRegistrationId()
method that I was expecting to have available from the class AppEventsLogger
that I am using.
EDIT 4: In order to use AppEventsLogger.setPushNotificationsRegistrationId(refreshedToken);
, do I need to import import com.facebook.notifications.internal.appevents.AppEventsLogger;
or import com.facebook.AppEventsLogger;
? In other portions of my code, I have used for example AppEventsLogger logger = AppEventsLogger.newLogger(getApplication());
with import com.facebook.AppEventsLogger;
. What would be the difference between using import com.facebook.notifications.internal.appevents.AppEventsLogger;
versus import com.facebook.AppEventsLogger;
? Thank you.
