When I do insert inferred type arguments It goes away. Afterwards it gives bolts library error. Then I downloaded bolts and import it too.

Answer 1

The Facebook Android SDK v4.0 uses Gradle as it's build and dependency management system. http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/gradle-integration-eclipse-44 is available for Eclipse. Also http://eclipse.org/m2e/ can be used for integrating with the Facebook's maven artifact: http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|com.facebook.android|facebook-android-sdk|4.0.0|

The android:textAllCaps issue occurs if you're targeting a version smaller than API 15. This doesn't cause a build issue in Gradle, and the lint warning is suppressed as it's ignored in API versions < 15.

I, too, downloaded the Facebook 4.0.0 SDK over the weekend and I had a lot of errors:

I did the following as we did when I installed 3.23.1: 1. Right click on the new Facebook project (the one you imported) and hilight the Android Tools, then select Add Support Library. 2. Clean the project

Here comes the key part: 3. It seems like 4.0.0 does not come w/ the bolts' jar file. You can import the bolts-1.1.2.jar as an external library from the older version of the Facebook SDK. Let me know if you need detail on how to do that. Hope this helps and good luck!

I faced the same problem with latest Facebook SDK 4.6.0

I solve it following the next steps:

1. add to AndroidManifest.xml this code <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15"/> or higher.
2. From project > Properties > Android > choose Android 4.4.2 to solve problem of compilation with java 1.7
3. Create folder libs at your project folder then copy android-support-v4.jar from ../android-sdk-linux/extras/android/support/v4 to libs
4. Download bolts.jar from that link : https://github.com/BoltsFramework/Bolts-Android
5. Copy bolts-android-ver.jar to libs
6. Clean your project.

Enjoy ... I hope this is helpful for you
