How can I allow multiple users to log in via facebook SDK?
It seems that the sdk is using the local native facebook app, so the user currently logged in is who gets authorised, but I want to be able to authorise others.
Is there anyway to force it go through the web dialog view where maybe a user can log in?
I ask this as some users of my app will have a personal and work account and want to be able to access both.
Any help would be great
Checkout the SwitchUserSample that ships with the SDK.

I want to make the application available in the Google/ third party market which can be used by anyone without using any login details on the cellphone. I want to add the same application to facebook later wherein people can access through Facebook. Basically, I want to allow users to directly access without login from their cellphone and Facebook users to access the application from Facebook Apps/Store/newsfeed.
I know we can add facebook login code. But, doing this will mean even the users accessing from Google Store or third party has to log in from facebook? Will it be possible to allow both ways?
In you case, yes it is possible.
With a simple conditional check you can activate or disable any feature of your app.
You didn't mentioned the language you are using to develop the app.
However, with an if condition check if platform is android or facebook.
If it is android, don't ask for login,
if it is facebook, get the
user details.
Simple, isn't it?
Yes it is possible you can use build flavors for that

I want to use LinkedIn in my Android application. I am not sure whether it is right/doable or not but I want to integrate it without LinkedIn SDK. I meant to say, whenever user clicks on login button it should go to the web using webview and user will login there and it should come back. Then I should be able to access the minimal user information.
Just wanted to know whether it is possible or not!
Thank you
It's possible but you end up with a few issues.
If your app becomes successful you increase the chance of having expensive conversations with LinkedIn lawyers.
Essentially you'd be using a very unofficial and undocumented api which would be subject to change at any time.
If you're doing the project for yourself as research project or for your own internal business use then what you're looking for is to communicate between your native app and the webpage.

Yesterday I logged in to Airbnb with my Facebook account on my OSX. Shortly later I got a notification both on my iPhone and computer saying
"Airbnb is available to install on your iPhone"
My question is, does anyone here know how this was done? Is this a feature available to anyone who creates Facebook login? Any advice on how this was done is well appreciated.
Sincerely
Axel
I bet the notification is sent to you by Airbnb, right? If so, it's pretty easy to do. You give your facebook account information to Airbnb by login with facebook in there webpage. Then they just send a graph api request to facebook with your authorization access token, and you get an notification. For details you can refer to doc here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/notifications
I found out what I was talking about. Facebook is adding a new feature which ask users if they want to get a link to the mobile app.
This is in Beta right now but you will automatically eligible for the feature if:
You have integrated the new Facebook Login on your website. You must be using at least version 2.0 of the Graph API and Login Dialog. Send to Mobile is not available for apps which invoke the Login dialog using Graph API v1.0.
You have integrated Facebook Login into your iOS or Android app. The "Single Sign On" switch within iOS and Android section of your app's dashboard must be set to "Yes"
Added your iOS App Store ID and/or the Android package name under which your app is listed in Google Play to your Facebook app's dashboard.

I'm working on LinkedIn ingratiation in my Android app, and I've completed this using simple Webview which will ask for Email and password every time,
what i want to do is getting the Login credential from LinkedIn app (if already installed in device), as in Facebook.
But i'm not able to find any tutorial about it.
Plz help me out.
Thanks
You can not and should not. On Android all apps have a private area to store their data. Unless you have root you can't read another app's data (unless the info is saved to public storage which in this case it is not).
What you should be doing is getting your own authorization by asking the user directly for details and permission and using that. I believe LinkedIn uses OAuth2.0 so look into logging in using that.
You can refer this link:
https://www.studytutorial.in/linkedin-integration-and-login-in-android-tutorial
And also if you are integrating LinkedIn Login in your application, you might face a difficulty that user must have to installed LinkedIn App in his/her mobile. As per the documentaion,

I'm just starting to use Facebook SDK for Android and I'm wondering if there is a way to link it to the actual Facebook android app itself.
What I mean is when I'm logged in in Facebook official app, I would like Facebook.isSessionValid() to return true and not get into the login with password process.
Is that possible or am I dreaming of an unfeasible thing?
That's not possible. The Facebook SDK uses the app if it's installed for authentication. Otherwise it falls back to a WebView based one. This way you don't have to deal with usernames and passwords (and can't get them even if you wanted). It won't ask the user for credentials if he is already signed into the app though.
The user still has to confirm permissions and allow your app specifically for safety reasons.
It would be pretty bad if every app could abuse your Facebook account in the background without asking for permission first.
