Add Facebook SDK in your eclipse project - android

I'm trying to add Facebook sdk in eclipse(I'm using cocos2d-x) , following this guideline
I'm confused where to add "repositories{ mavenCentral() }" as eclipse project don't have build.gradle.
I've also tried implementing this one :
https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-vNi1W4fco
but when I import Facebook sdk in eclipse, it still give errors.
If anyone have idea, please help. Thanks!

There are following step to import Facebook:
Download latest fb sdk and extract it.
import it into eclips as android project.
If it is showing any error regarding android support then include "android-support-v4.jar" also bolts-android-1.1.2.jar in your lib folder
If you are using fb sdk in your cocos2d-x project make sure your project and fb sdk in same directry.

Change Your Project Target SDK to 19 And Go to >> Project Property>> Java Compiler>> Uncheck to defaults java Version that's 1.7 or 1.6
It work Fine in My Case..

Facebook SDK v.4 for Android: errors on Eclipse

I am trying to import the latest version (4.0.1) of the Facebook Android SDK into eclipse but I am facing issues in having the project being properly built and imported as a Library.
I followed the steps (for android studio, ported to Eclipse) provided in the official guide and looked through Google for other developers having the same problems as I am having but I am still not able to have it properly working.
Here are the steps I do:
Download the Facebook SDK for android from here: https://developers.facebook.com/resources/facebook-android-sdk-current.zip
Extract the projects
In Eclipse, import existing Android code into workspace
Select the folder "facebook" and choose the only project that is shown (the project is properly imported)
Right click on "facebook" project, properties, android and check "isLibrary"
clean project
At this point I still have issues for annotations and classes not found from "android.support" package.
Project's setting for Java compiler is "1.6", minSDK is 9 and target is 17.
I tried also to add the facebook library to my main project but it is still not working.
I tried to put java 1.7 in the compiler but it is not resolving the missing classes plus it is saying that to compile with java 1.7 I need to have min API set to kitkat (which I don't want because I will not be able to compile for 4.2 and 4.3).
I added manually the androd support jar from the SDK Manager folder of android and this resolved partially the missing classes but some did remain.
I am using Eclipse Version: Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1) with JDK 1.7.0_51 and the latest ADT Plugin (all android components updated with SDK Manager).
Any help is appreciated.
I did some more tests and find out that by downloading the two libraries:
android-support-v4.jar
bolts-android-1.1.2.jar
from the github project (https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk) did the trick.
So the steps are the following:
Download, unpack and import as android existing code into workspace the latest v.4 version of the Facebook SDK for Android.
Download the two jars from GitHub
Set the Facebook Project as "isLibrary"
Add the two jars as "external jars" in the classpath
Set the java compiler to 1.7
clean and rebuild the project
Now errors are gone.
Download the facebook sdk from here.
Extract the zip file.
Import only facebook sdk project into eclipse as "Existing Android code into
workspace".
Now, this project will show many errors, do not open any java file or
resource file and do not try to do any imports or clean project until I
mention it to do so.
First add the v7 library to this project by doing right click on facebook
sdk project >> properties>>android>>Add Library.(If you don't have latest
v7 support library download it from sdk manager), also set the project build
target to the maximum android version available and select "is library".
Now, right click on facebook project and select >Build path>Configure build
path>Libraries tab>Add external jars> browse to place where you extracted
facebook sdk in step 2 and find two jar files in libs folder(android-
support-v4.jar and bolts-android-1.1.2.jar) and add both files. Switch to
"order and export" tab and select both the jar files and click on ok.
Now right click on facebook sdk >>properties>>Java Complier>>set the
"compiler compliance level to 1.7 or more and use default compliance settings.
Now select the project and click on Project > Clean.
This should remove all errors now. This is how it worked for me.

Unable to add facebook sdk to project

I imported the Facebook SDK as library project into eclipse. I did it by checking Copy projects into Workspace and by leaving it unchecked as well (for some reason the description says that I must uncheck it).
I tried importing Existing Projects into Workspace and Existing Android Code Into Workspace as well.
The library checkbox is checked in the properties.
A Facebook sdk has never been imported into this workspace yet.
I created a new project that runs smoothly without Facebook. In the properties, Android tab, I added the library project. It showed a green tick, but when I open that tab again, it shows a red x.
The target of the project is API level 19, the target of the facebook library is API level 8. I also tried it with API level 10
I am using Java compiler 1.6 in both the project and the library.
What I don't understand is that the sample projects that came with the SDK seem to have successfully imported the SDK (green tick), however they all point to the same problem "The import android.support cannot be resolved" on import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity; I had to hover over the line and click Fix Project setup to make them work. Then I went to Properties -> Java Build Path -> Order and Export -> clicked v4 support library checkbox. So at least they work. Why do they successfully load the Facebook SDK and why is my app unable to do it?
The Facebook SDK has no libs folder so I guess an interference between different v4 support libraries is out of the question.
I have tried this on two different computers as well.
I decided to install Android from step to step instead of the ADT Bundle. I downloaded Eclipse Juno for Java Developers, installed the newest Java version (1.8) and installed the Android packages. Created a new project and imported the facebook sdk 3.5 (tried 3.0.2 and 3.8 as well). I still get the red X.
I appreciate any help.
I ran into this issue half a year later and my earlier answer was of no help. The trick is that you need to have the library on the same drive as your project, which is usually the C: drive. That's all. Thank you Facebook for not notifying us about this..
Solved. Here is what I did to solve this strange error.
Copy the contents of project.properties file.
Delete project.properties file.
Create a new file and name it project.properties
Paste the contents of the previous file into this new file.

Error on Importing Stripe Library into Eclipse

Following the tutorial: https://stripe.com/docs/mobile/android
I simply download the stripe-android library.
Every time I go to import it into Eclipse I get an error asking me to remove the main. I removed main but still get the error.
This is the error:
I had the same error. I didn't have Android SDK with API Level 17. I intalled it and then tried the import again and it worked.
Installation
1-First download the stripe-android libraries.
2-Be sure you've installed the Android SDK with API Level 17 and android-support-v4
3- Import the stripe folder into Eclipse.
4- In your project settings, add the stripe project under the "Libraries" section of the "Android" category.

Updating to Android SDK Tools R22

I updated the SDK Tools to R22 and the ADT Plugin as well. Everything worked well before the update but since then, I have problems.
Basically I have 2 library projects and an app project. One of my library projects contains some jar files in the "libs" folder. One of these jars is used in the app project itself for some initial setup. Before the update, everything worked fine, but now it asks me to add the jar to the build path and even if I do so, when running the app it still gives me ClassNotFoundException.
Did anyone had some similar experience or has any idea about what causes this and how can it be fixed?
Thanks.
Check this Android Sdk tools Revision 22 issue?. "I found that I needed to check all of the boxes in the order/export tab of the Java Build Path for the project - and each library -- to properly compile and run the app on a device." - should helps.
The workaround here worked for me
OK. I also had a Simillar kind of Problem.
Like say If you have library project as google-play-services_lib before updating than might happen that your library code has been also updated after updating your SDK.
You Should Remove that library project from your Workspace and Import
again from the source
folder like in my case i had to import from /android-sdk-linux/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib. Add reference of
your library path to you android app project. clean and build your Project.
Hope this Helps.
you should try to upgrade eclipse.
1) Get the new imports via the Android SDK Manager
2) Check for updates in the Eclipse repository: help/check for updates
That would "for real" upgrade the SDK version in your configs.
Dunno if the other steps pointed by VShcryabets are needed, i had them before.

FaceBook SDK Sample for Android

Today, I downloaded the Facebook SDK for Android and imported to the eclipse. When I tried the FB Sample app, it informed a error :
Project 'FB Sample App' is missing required Java project: 'Facebook SDK for Android - 5fec77c'
I don't know to fix it. Who can help me?
Thanks a lot!
You can just also import the library project Facebook SDK and mark it as library by going to properties of the imported project.
Then go to your example project and go to properties and add that library project.
Also Look to this Question
"For more details you can search "Android how to add project as library project" and you will find many step-by-step blog/tutorial"
