Custom Facebook Login Button - Android

Question

I''m following this Tutorial but so far I can't make it work, though this is from a year ago or so...

I'm using androidStudo 1.2.2 and FacebookSDK 4.

I want a simple login into facebook using a custom button, like the one shown in this image:

Now, in the example from the tutorial I'm having problems with the Session variable, it says it cannot resolve it, neither getActivity()

Has naybody tried this on FacebookSDK4.0?

Is that a correct approach or maybe there is something more updated?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

This is very simple. Add a button in the layout file like

<Button
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Login with facebook"
    android:textColor="#ffff"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:onClick="fbLogin"
    android:background="@color/colorPrimary"/>

And in the onClick place the LoginManager's registercallback() method Becuse the this method automatically executes.

like:

  public void fbLogin(View view)
{
    // Before Edit:
    // LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithReadPermissions(this, Arrays.asList("user_photos", "email", "public_profile", "user_posts" , "AccessToken"));

    LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithReadPermissions(this, Arrays.asList("user_photos", "email", "public_profile", "user_posts"));
    LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithPublishPermissions(this, Arrays.asList("publish_actions"));
    LoginManager.getInstance().registerCallback(callbackManager,
            new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>()
            {
                @Override
                public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult)
                {
                    // App code
                }

                @Override
                public void onCancel()
                {
                    // App code
                }

                @Override
                public void onError(FacebookException exception)
                {
                    // App code
                }
            });
}
