Installing the samples requires you to add the Facebook SDK library to the project. To run the samples and use Facebook Login via Facebook for Android app, you also need to create your own Facebook App, set up your Android Key Hash in the Facebook App's Android settings and also use that App's ID instead of the one shipped in the samples.

  1. Set up a Facebook app using the App Dashboard:

    1. Create a new Facebook app
    2. Configure the Native Android App settings.
      1. Enable the Facebook Login setting.
      2. Enter you app's signature in the Key Hash field. For more information see the Getting Started with the Facebook Android SDK.
  2. Download the Facebook Android SDK 3.0.b for Android: https://developers.facebook.com/android-beta/

  3. Install the Facebook Android SDK 3.0.b for Android: See the Getting Started with the Facebook Android SDK for more instructions.

  4. Install the Facebook app if testing on an emulator. See the Getting Started with the Facebook Android SDK for more instructions.

    3. Change the existing app_id string, ex:

         <string name="app_id">230430833746494</string>
      

    to:
