I created a login app with facebook. When I click login button it shows this error.

I have check dependencies in build.gradle, I have AppCompat library

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1'

I think it is the latest.

Did anyone ever seen this? Please help.

I have read this : https://stackoverflow.com/a/39300065/5241603 Not help.

@HareshChhelana Shouldn't need to. It's included by `appcompat-v7:25.0.1`. — OneCricketeer, Dec 16 '16 at 07:56
I think you need to exclude the v4 support library from the Facebook dependency group — OneCricketeer, Dec 16 '16 at 08:01
@HareshChhelana Yes. You can run `./gradlew app:dependencies` to see it — OneCricketeer, Dec 16 '16 at 08:01

Don't know if it helps you but in my case (I have Facebook SDK in my app with custom tabs enabled) this error happened when user (without installed Facebook app) tried to log in.

Exception java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method launchUrl(Landroid/app/Activity;Landroid/net/Uri;)V in class Landroid/support/customtabs/CustomTabsIntent; or its super classes 
com.facebook.internal.CustomTab.openCustomTab (CustomTab.java:48)

Updating dependency to use latest SDK version (they switched to customtabs:25.0.0 in version 4.17.0)

compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.17.0'

fixed the problem.

I also use Custom Tabs (v25.0.0) in my app and have no issues with them. If it's not your case you can check what they've changed.

This is still an issue with the following dependencies : `compile "com.android.support:customtabs:25.0.1"` and `compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.19.0'` – Etienne Lawlor Jan 27 '17 at 05:25

Using

compile 'com.android.support:customtabs:25.2.0'

solved the problem for me

In your stack trace, it appears that you are using a v4 ActivityCompat with an import of v7 ActivityCompat. Try checking the imports in the ActivityCompat class that is to be launched, and make sure you are using the proper version (7, not 4).
