Integrating facebook in android studio

Now before starting integrating facebook you need some important thing to do

Generating App Signature for Facebook Settings

To integrate facebook into your app you need to provide your application signature. The best and simple way to generate keyhash is to use openssl. Download openSSL from here, after download unzip downloaded file.

Now open your CMD and paste command:

keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore %HOMEPATH%\.android\debug.keystore | "F:\software\openssl-0.9.8k_WIN32\bin\openssl.exe" sha1 -binary | "F:\software\openssl-0.9.8k_WIN32\bin\openssl.exe" base64

update openssl.exe location of above cmd with your unzip file location to get your hashkey.

After writing/copy to cmd this command when your need to create a password after that you get your hashkey copy it.

Now create new facebook app login first after visit this link to create new app https://developers.facebook.com/. And after click on setting button left side of screen and paste your Key Hashes there as shown below.

Now get your AppID we need it in our program later.

Integrating facebook in android studio

Start your New Android Project

1. Create a new project in Android Studio from File ⇒ New ⇒ Android Application Project .

2. Now minimize or close your Android Studio. Go to your project directory inside it create a new folder as shown below

name your folder i name my folder libraries.

3. UnZip your facebook SDK folder, now we need to copy facebook project files to our newly created libraries folder. Open your unzip folder and find facebook folder. In my case i found here F:\socialsdk\facebook-android-sdk-3.16.0\facebook-android-sdk-3.16 i extract facebook sdk in f drive inside socialssdk. You find your where you extract sdk files.

faceIntstep2Copy this facebook folder to your libraries folder.

 4. Now open your copied facebook folder inside libraries and we need to remove some folder which we don’t need in our project keep files which shown image below and remove other file and folders.

5. Now open your android studio and open your project you create for this. Now find your libraries folder in your project and facebook inside

faceIntstep4

5.  Open your facebook build.gradle inside facebook folder we need to configure some setting in this file update file as shown below

Libraries ⇒ facebook ⇒ build.gradle

apply plugin: 'android-library'

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.+'
    compile files('libs/bolts.jar')
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 20
    buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 20
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }

    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }

    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
        }
    }
}

You also copy and paste above code in your build.gradle.

6. Now open your ProjectDirectory ⇒ settings.gradle. In this file we need to include our facebook library

include ':app'
include ':libraries:facebook'

faceIntstep5

if  you don’t find Sync Now button at top right corner then make add some white space any where to get this and sync it.

faceIntstep6

After click on button select Module ⇒ Dependencies ⇒ + ⇒ Module Dependencies
