android-fb-sdk email is always null

I have a big problem with android-facebook-sdk 3.19.1. No problem to retrieve public information about user but it is not possible getting email address.
I know my post is very near to the following thread ==> facebook android sdk -user email returns null but I have no solution for now.
So here is my code
In my ConnectionActivity.java I have a button R.id.fb_connect
private List<String> permissions = Arrays.asList("email");
#Click(R.id.fb_connect)
protected void fbConnect() {
ensureOpenSession();
}
private boolean ensureOpenSession() {
Session session = Session.getActiveSession();
if (session == null || !session.isOpened()) {
LOGD(TAG, "Call Session.openActiveSession");
Session.openActiveSession(this, true, permissions, new FbCallback());
return false;
}
return true;
}
public class FbCallback implements Session.StatusCallback {
#Override
public void call(Session session, SessionState sessionState, Exception e) {
// make request to the /me API
Request.newMeRequest(session, new Request.GraphUserCallback() {
// callback after Graph API response with user object
#Override
public void onCompleted(GraphUser user, Response response) {
if (user != null) {
// user.asMap().get("email");
Toast.makeText(ConnectionActivity.this, "email : " + user.getProperty("email"), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}).executeAsync();
}
}
I've also tried the code in the link above but it doesn't work. One precision, with this code, I can see the facebook activity which says "XXX will receive the following info: your public profile and email address" but the toast displays "email : null"
EDIT
I work with android studio and my gradle file has the following line
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.19.1'
EDIT2
If I use
LOGD(TAG, "isPermissionGranted : " + session.isPermissionGranted(permissions.get(0)));
before call Request.newMeRequest so true is shown. Permission is correctly granted
Thx

Facebook login dialog overlay cover activity

hey i got problem with facebook login dialog and permission request dialog, overlay of both show with no alpha channel and covers activity
its looks like this under white space around dialog should be visible activity content
i dont know how to delete that overlay and/or change it to overlay with alpha channel
this is there i login to FB
public void facebookLogin() {
Session.openActiveSession(this, true, new Session.StatusCallback() {
// callback when session changes state
#Override
public void call(Session session, SessionState state, Exception exception) {
if (session.isOpened()) {
// If the session is open, make an API call to get user data
// and define a new callback to handle the response
//final GraphUser graphUser;
Utils.PrintDebug("session is Opened");
final String accessToken = session.getAccessToken();
Request request = Request.newMeRequest(session, new Request.GraphUserCallback() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(GraphUser user, Response response) {
// If the response is successful
if (user != null) {
Utils.PrintDebug("logged as "+user.getName());
FacebookConnectSpiceRequest request = new FacebookConnectSpiceRequest(accessToken, user.getId(), (int) DataManager.CurrentData.UserID);
getSpiceManager().execute(request, new FacebookConnectListener());
}
}
});
Request.executeBatchAsync(request);
}
};
});
}

How do you have the LoginActivity declared in your manifest? Try something like:
<activity android:name="com.facebook.LoginActivity"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" />

I had the same issue...
in com.facebook.widgets.WebDialog class, there is a variable:
BACKGROUND_GRAY = 0xCC000000;
just edit to:
BACKGROUND_GRAY = 0x00000000;
and it's fixed.

Get Facebook user email using latest Facebook SDK

I'm developing an Android application, and I'm using this code to get some data from Facebook:
public void onFBLoginClick(View view)
{
// start Facebook Login
Session.openActiveSession(this, true, new Session.StatusCallback()
{
// callback when session changes state
#Override
public void call(final Session session, SessionState state, Exception exception)
{
if (session.isOpened())
{
// make request to the /me API
Request.executeMeRequestAsync(session, new Request.GraphUserCallback()
{
// callback after Graph API response with user object
#Override
public void onCompleted(GraphUser user, Response response)
{
if (user != null)
{
txtUserName.setText(session.getAccessToken());
saveUserData(user.getId(), user.getName(), user.getBirthday(), user.asMap().get("email").toString());
saveAccessToken(session.getAccessToken());
getFacebookUserProfilePicture(session.getAccessToken());
}
}
});
}
}
});
}
But, I can't get the email. Always is null.
I set up email permissions on User & Friend Permissions, on developers.facebook.com, but it doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong?

Use this code to open your session and you are ready to go!
String[] PERMISSION_ARRAY_READ = {"email","user_birthday"};
List<String> PERMISSION_LIST=Arrays.asList(PERMISSION_ARRAY_READ);
session.openForRead(new Session.OpenRequest(getParent()).setPermissions(PERMISSION_LIST).setCallback(statusCallback));
let me know if uyou have any problem regarding this.

How to programmatically log out from Facebook SDK 3.0 without using Facebook login/logout button?

The title says it all. I'm using a custom button to fetch the user's facebook information (for "sign up" purposes). Yet, I don't want the app to remember the last registered user, neither the currently logged in person via the Facebook native app. I want the Facebook login activity to pop up each time. That is why I want to log out any previous users programmatically.
How can I do that? This is how I do the login:
private void signInWithFacebook() {
SessionTracker sessionTracker = new SessionTracker(getBaseContext(), new StatusCallback()
{
#Override
public void call(Session session, SessionState state, Exception exception) {
}
}, null, false);
String applicationId = Utility.getMetadataApplicationId(getBaseContext());
mCurrentSession = sessionTracker.getSession();
if (mCurrentSession == null || mCurrentSession.getState().isClosed()) {
sessionTracker.setSession(null);
Session session = new Session.Builder(getBaseContext()).setApplicationId(applicationId).build();
Session.setActiveSession(session);
mCurrentSession = session;
}
if (!mCurrentSession.isOpened()) {
Session.OpenRequest openRequest = null;
openRequest = new Session.OpenRequest(RegisterActivity.this);
if (openRequest != null) {
openRequest.setPermissions(null);
openRequest.setLoginBehavior(SessionLoginBehavior.SSO_WITH_FALLBACK);
mCurrentSession.openForRead(openRequest);
}
}else {
Request.executeMeRequestAsync(mCurrentSession, new Request.GraphUserCallback() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(GraphUser user, Response response) {
fillProfileWithFacebook( user );
}
});
}
}
Ideally, I would make a call at the beginning of this method to log out any previous users.

Update for latest SDK:
Now #zeuter's answer is correct for Facebook SDK v4.7+:
LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();
Original answer:
Please do not use SessionTracker. It is an internal (package private) class, and is not meant to be consumed as part of the public API. As such, its API may change at any time without any backwards compatibility guarantees. You should be able to get rid of all instances of SessionTracker in your code, and just use the active session instead.
To answer your question, if you don't want to keep any session data, simply call closeAndClearTokenInformation when your app closes.

This method will help you to logout from facebook programmatically in android
/**
* Logout From Facebook
*/
public static void callFacebookLogout(Context context) {
Session session = Session.getActiveSession();
if (session != null) {
if (!session.isClosed()) {
session.closeAndClearTokenInformation();
//clear your preferences if saved
}
} else {
session = new Session(context);
Session.setActiveSession(session);
session.closeAndClearTokenInformation();
//clear your preferences if saved
}
}

Since Facebook's Android SDK v4.0 (see changelog) you need to execute the following:
LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();

Here is snippet that allowed me to log out programmatically from facebook. Let me know if you see anything that I might need to improve.
private void logout(){
// clear any user information
mApp.clearUserPrefs();
// find the active session which can only be facebook in my app
Session session = Session.getActiveSession();
// run the closeAndClearTokenInformation which does the following
// DOCS : Closes the local in-memory Session object and clears any persistent
// cache related to the Session.
session.closeAndClearTokenInformation();
// return the user to the login screen
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), LoginActivity.class));
// make sure the user can not access the page after he/she is logged out
// clear the activity stack
finish();
}

Since Facebook's Android SDK v4.0 you need to execute the following:
LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();
This is not sufficient. This will simply clear cached access token and profile so that AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken() and Profile.getCurrentProfile() will now become null.
To completely logout you need to revoke permissions and then call LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();. To revoke permission execute following graph API -
GraphRequest delPermRequest = new GraphRequest(AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(), "/{user-id}/permissions/", null, HttpMethod.DELETE, new GraphRequest.Callback() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(GraphResponse graphResponse) {
if(graphResponse!=null){
FacebookRequestError error =graphResponse.getError();
if(error!=null){
Log.e(TAG, error.toString());
}else {
finish();
}
}
}
});
Log.d(TAG,"Executing revoke permissions with graph path" + delPermRequest.getGraphPath());
delPermRequest.executeAsync();

Session class has been removed on SDK 4.0. The login magement is done through the class LoginManager. So:
mLoginManager = LoginManager.getInstance();
mLoginManager.logOut();
As the reference Upgrading to SDK 4.0 says:
Session Removed - AccessToken, LoginManager and CallbackManager classes supercede and replace functionality in the Session class.

Yup, As #luizfelippe mentioned Session class has been removed since SDK 4.0. We need to use LoginManager.
I just looked into LoginButton class for logout. They are making this kind of check. They logs out only if accessToken is not null. So, I think its better to have this in our code too..
AccessToken accessToken = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
if(accessToken != null){
LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();
}

private Session.StatusCallback statusCallback = new SessionStatusCallback();
logout.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Session.openActiveSession(this, true, statusCallback);
}
});
private class SessionStatusCallback implements Session.StatusCallback {
#Override
public void call(Session session, SessionState state,
Exception exception) {
session.closeAndClearTokenInformation();
}
}

Facebook provides two ways to login and logout from an account. One is to use LoginButton and the other is to use LoginManager. LoginButton is just a button which on clicked, the logging in is accomplished. On the other side LoginManager does this on its own. In your case you have use LoginManager to logout automatically.
LoginManager.getInstance().logout() does this work for you.

When to request permissions with Facebook's new Android SDK 3.0?

With Facebook's new Android SDK 3.0 (that was released a few days ago), the process of authentication has changed.
So how do you request a read permission such as "friends_hometown"?
The following code is how I am trying to do it - but I'm quite sure it's not the way you should do this:
Version 1:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Session.openActiveSession(this, true, new Session.StatusCallback() { // start Facebook login
#Override
public void call(Session session, SessionState state, Exception exception) { // callback for session state changes
if (session.isOpened()) {
List<String> permissions = new ArrayList<String>();
permissions.add("friends_hometown");
session.requestNewReadPermissions(new Session.NewPermissionsRequest(FBImport.this, permissions));
Request.executeGraphPathRequestAsync(session, "me/friends/?access_token="+session.getAccessToken()+"&fields=id,name,hometown", new Request.Callback() {
...
});
}
}
});
}
Version 2:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Session currentSession = Session.getActiveSession();
if (currentSession == null || currentSession.getState().isClosed()) {
Session session = Session.openActiveSession(this, true, fbStatusCallback); // PROBLEM: NO PERMISSIONS YET BUT CALLBACK IS EXECUTED ON OPEN
currentSession = session;
}
if (currentSession != null && !currentSession.isOpened()) {
OpenRequest openRequest = new OpenRequest(this).setCallback(fbStatusCallback); // HERE IT IS OKAY TO EXECUTE THE CALLBACK BECAUSE WE'VE GOT THE PERMISSIONS
if (openRequest != null) {
openRequest.setDefaultAudience(SessionDefaultAudience.FRIENDS);
openRequest.setPermissions(Arrays.asList("friends_hometown"));
openRequest.setLoginBehavior(SessionLoginBehavior.SSO_WITH_FALLBACK);
currentSession.openForRead(openRequest);
}
}
}
What I'm doing is to request the permission as soon as the session is open - but at this point the code is already starting a Graph API request, thus the permission request comes to late ...
Can't you request a permission at the same time you initialize the session?

I was able to get it to work. It's a modification of your Version 2 sample. The link Jesse provided also helped a ton.
Here is the code I run through when authenticating a user:
private void signInWithFacebook() {
mSessionTracker = new SessionTracker(getBaseContext(), new StatusCallback() {
#Override
public void call(Session session, SessionState state, Exception exception) {
}
}, null, false);
String applicationId = Utility.getMetadataApplicationId(getBaseContext());
mCurrentSession = mSessionTracker.getSession();
if (mCurrentSession == null || mCurrentSession.getState().isClosed()) {
mSessionTracker.setSession(null);
Session session = new Session.Builder(getBaseContext()).setApplicationId(applicationId).build();
Session.setActiveSession(session);
mCurrentSession = session;
}
if (!mCurrentSession.isOpened()) {
Session.OpenRequest openRequest = null;
openRequest = new Session.OpenRequest(SignUpChoices.this);
if (openRequest != null) {
openRequest.setDefaultAudience(SessionDefaultAudience.FRIENDS);
openRequest.setPermissions(Arrays.asList("user_birthday", "email", "user_location"));
openRequest.setLoginBehavior(SessionLoginBehavior.SSO_WITH_FALLBACK);
mCurrentSession.openForRead(openRequest);
}
}else {
Request.executeMeRequestAsync(mCurrentSession, new Request.GraphUserCallback() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(GraphUser user, Response response) {
Log.w("myConsultant", user.getId() + " " + user.getName() + " " + user.getInnerJSONObject());
}
});
}
}
For testing I ran it through the below code after returning from Facebooks authentication:
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
Session.getActiveSession().onActivityResult(this, requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (mCurrentSession.isOpened()) {
Request.executeMeRequestAsync(mCurrentSession, new Request.GraphUserCallback() {
// callback after Graph API response with user object
#Override
public void onCompleted(GraphUser user, Response response) {
Log.w("myConsultant", user.getId() + " " + user.getName() + " " + user.getInnerJSONObject());
}
});
}
}

I solved the same problem by implementing my own Session.openActiveSession() method:
private static Session openActiveSession(Activity activity, boolean allowLoginUI, StatusCallback callback, List<String> permissions) {
OpenRequest openRequest = new OpenRequest(activity).setPermissions(permissions).setCallback(callback);
Session session = new Builder(activity).build();
if (SessionState.CREATED_TOKEN_LOADED.equals(session.getState()) || allowLoginUI) {
Session.setActiveSession(session);
session.openForRead(openRequest);
return session;
}
return null;
}

I recommend that you read our login tutorial here specifically in step 3. Using the login button that we provide is the most convenient method, (see authButton.setReadPermissions())
EDIT:
To set permissions without using the loginbutton is trickier since you will have to do all the session management by hand. Digging into the source code for the login button, this line of code is probably what you need. It looks like you will need to create your own Session.OpenRequest and set it's attributes such as permissions, audience, and login behavior, then get the current session and call openForRead() on your Session.OpenRequest.

Although the first question was asked few months ago and there is accepted answers, there is another more elegant solution for requesting more permissions from user while authentication.
In addition, Facebook SDK 3.5 was released recently and it would be good to refresh this thread :)
So, the elegant solution comes with this open source library: android-simple-facebook
Setup
Just add next lines in your Activity class:
Define and select permissions you need, like friends_hometown:
Permissions[] permissions = new Permissions[]
{
Permissions.FRIENDS_HOMETOWN,
Permissions.FRIENDS_PHOTOS,
Permissions.PUBLISH_ACTION
};
The great thing here with the permissions, is that you don't need to seperate READ and PUBLISH permissions. You just mention what you need and library will take care for the rest.
Build and define the configuration by putting app_id, namespace and permissions:
SimpleFacebookConfiguration configuration = new SimpleFacebookConfiguration.Builder()
.setAppId("625994234086470")
.setNamespace("sromkuapp")
.setPermissions(permissions)
.build();
And, create SimpleFacebook instance and set this configuration:
SimpleFacebook simpleFacebook = SimpleFacebook.getInstance(Activity);
simpleFacebook.setConfiguration(configuration);
Now, you can run the methods like: login, publish feed/story, invite,…
Login
mSimpleFacebook.login(OnLoginListener);
Logout
mSimpleFacebook.logout(OnLogoutListener);
