Answer 1

If you are using Facebook SDK 4.x, then note that the package name changed. It's now com.facebook.login.widget.LoginButton

Answer 2

FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());

this before setContentView

  setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);

Answer 3

After add Facebook as a module you have to add it to your dependencies in Gradle, adding the next line into dependencies block:

compile project(':facebook')

I hope it can help.

Answer 4

just in case.. if some one still needs it, clean only the facebook project, and then add it back as a library in your project. This solved my problem

Answer 5

I tried Programatically creating instance of LoginButton programatically like

LoginButton loginButton = new LoginButton(this);

and added this to a LinearLayout

    fbLoginButton = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.fb_login_view);
    fbLoginButton.addView(loginButton);

And here is the glimpse of my layout xml

<LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="40dip"
            android:id="@+id/fb_login_view"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:text="connect_with_facebook"/>

This is ofcourse following the edit suggested by @Lalit Kumar's answer Let me know if I am missing anything.

The only way I found to fix this was to put the whole SDK into my project. Now it works. Not the prefered solution, but it works.
