How to Import the Facebook SDK to exisitng app without errors

Question

Please go easy on me as im still new to the eclispe software etc.... Ok so the problem i have is importing the facebook sdk. I programmed a little app and then retropsectively I thought it would be good to allow users to post something to facebook from it. So i imported the SDK. Then added it as a library for my project and i get the following errors

I have read on other threads (just delete the jar file) so i did that ... then i got lots of errors in the facebook project (108 to be precise) but here is a few:

Description Resource    Path    Location    Type
LocalBroadcastManager cannot be resolved    Session.java    /FacebookSDK/src/com/facebook   line 1215   Java Problem
Fragment cannot be resolved to a type   Session.java    /FacebookSDK/src/com/facebook   line 1843   Java Problem
Loader<SimpleGraphObjectCursor<T>> cannot be resolved to a type GraphObjectPagingLoader.java    /FacebookSDK/src/com/facebook/widget    line 109    Java Problem
Loader cannot be resolved to a type GraphObjectPagingLoader.java    /FacebookSDK/src/com/facebook/widget    line 27 Java Problem
LoaderManager cannot be resolved to a type  PickerFragment.java /FacebookSDK/src/com/facebook/widget    line 813    Java Problem
Loader<SimpleGraphObjectCursor<T>> cannot be resolved to a type GraphObjectPagingLoader.java    /FacebookSDK/src/com/facebook/widget    line 119    Java Problem

What I was hoping for is a fix for either the dependancy problem (whichd doesnt cause other errors). Or a fix for the Errors after i delete the android-support-v4.jar from the facebook project.

Any help on this would be great as ive been scratching my head for a while now and running out of patients on googling it.

Thanks

Answer 1

Even i faced the same situation. This is what i did:

Facebook sdk has a v4 library. Your app will also have another v4.

Now the presence of two copies of same file confuses the compiler. This is what i did:

• Removed the v4 library from my app. It shows errors, just ignore for time being.

• Now add the facebook library.

  Everything will work fine.. hope it helps u.
