Currently, I am making an Android app in which I need to integrate the complete Twitter app.
I went through Fabric website where I got to know that using the plugin in my app I could integrate Twitter App functionalities very easily.
I want to know if someone has used it.
Will it be really helpful in my case?
Does it give the same feel of the original Twitter app?
Does the plugin also provide UI(Twitter app UI) or do I have to make my own UI?
The twitter APIs and SDK is one of the most advanced and interesting ones i have ever used. It gives the real feel and look of twitter ( login, twitter lists). The SDK does most of the work for you. For example when you want to list tweets using List,the only thing you will need is to create a list view and a text view in your xml.
Initializing the sdk in your app is just less than 5 lines of code.
The console is easy to use as well. This will help you set up your app so fast.
For me i didnt feel like a programmer when using the SDK unlike when I am really struggling to use GMAIL APIs.
Go ahead and just do it.
Happy Coding.

I want to develop a project that allow to user to view latest picture uploaded in a certain pages
i'm new in facebook android sdk and i don't know what is the first step to do
can you give some directives to start this project?
best wishes.
I always recommend that developers who are looking to integrate Facebook into their apps to start with our documentation. This tutorial on our developers page walks you through a sample app that gets you started with our most basic SDK functionalities such as logging in via Facebook, uploading a picture, and grabbing the user's profile picture for example. Once you go through that, you should be well-versed enough to learn how to extend the SDK functionalities to do what you want.
This community is also very helpful when you have questions (but you have to provide context, sample code, and very thorough description of the problem you're facing).
was just curious as to how I can go about reading Facebook status posts from a particular page through my Android application.
I looked into the Facebook API but that seems to be more related to making Facebook applications, which wasn't my intent.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a guide or link that will explain to me how to do this it will be much appreciated.
Well the whole idea of the Facebook API is so that you can call their functions to give you access to Facebook content. If you want to incorporate them into your Android Application, try using their Android SDK
I am planing to build an android app, which will have user posted content and comment on that content. I want to use a ready made solution for the comments, which is also viral.
For example, using Facebook comments for website can do the job. But I am not able to locate such a plugin for Android (java) app.
Is there a way I can do it easily? or should I build my app using phone gap or something like that and use fb comments widget.
Will there be any problem in approval if the app is in phone gap?
Thanks in advance!

I am building an android application and I am stuck at one place. I have integrated Twitter in my app using twitter4j, signpost apis. I am successful in writing code for putting text in user profile but I also want the user to follow my app when they click 'follow us on twitter' button.
Can anybody give me reference or guidance of writing such code?
What you are probably looking for is createFriendship()
You can see how it is used here
2016 Edit: Google code svn is broken and twitter 4j has moved

Is there any way to access a Facebook non-user page (ex: Musician, Product, etc) through an API through Android? I saw that there is a Facebook Android SDK but I haven't been able to figure out if this can be done.
Yes this can be done. Have a look at the Graph API docs from facebook. I don't have very much insight into exactly how this is done with Android but the SDK should have example code to get you on the right track.
