I want to include a way to search FB posts containing a particular hashtag in my app. I searched the web for FB libraries for android and came across 3:
facebook-android-sdk : Can never get this thing to download! Also the biggest and bloatiest of all three by size
facebook4j : Seems similar to twitter4j which I am very familiar with
restFB : Searching around, I couldn't find for certain whether it supports android or not
Which of these libraries is best suited for me?
facebook-android-sdk is the official sdk provided by FB. This is where you can get start

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've been messing around with social-auth Android have been referring to the readme and this website. I haven't found a way to request a friend or follow someone via twitter. does social-auth have this functionality?
I need to add twitter integration into an AIR for Android application and I've found the http://wiki.swfjunkie.com/tweetr library.
But, none of the examples given on the site seems to work... http://wiki.swfjunkie.com/tweetr:examples
Is this library still compatible with today's twitter API ?
Why are the examples not displaying any tweet ?
What would you recommend for adding timeline display and send tweet functionnality to an AIR for Android application ?
Thanks

The Twittter API has changed in recent months, and I actually had to refactor some code in my apps to deal with it. Unless this library is updated, it won't work. Here's more information: http://mashable.com/2012/09/05/twitter-api-rss/
I want to implement authentication of following sites in my Android application.
Facebook
Twitter
Goggle
So far, I went through many solutions but
For Facebook, I need Facebook Android SDK
For Twitter, I need twitter4j
For Google, I have found some OAuth code
So if I want all these three authentications in one Android applications, the application eventually is bulked up by the code so is there any common solution to implement all these authentication in one Android application, some light-weight solution?
Take a look at this : http://kurogo.org/technology/
They have a module named Login. AFAIK, this module has support for SSO (Single Sign On). So, they should have login modules for SSO supported platforms. Google/Facebook and twitter does that. But so far they have not released any Android port of the same. But, as you might see, it is based on the popular MIT-Mobile middleware. Here is their github repo
Not sure this is exactly what you are looking for or something like that does exists. But its worth giving a shot.
I saw some topics here regarding facebook and twitter integration with Android Application.

In real? Of course! You could be able to tweet on the user's timeline. In this case, use the appropiate authentication methods. There are many ways to do so, this is one of them:

You can also use specialized third-party libraries (like twitter4j) to use Twitter from your Android app.
