Issue getting Facebook information

I want facebook profile information in my code. This code works Log.e("in try start", "tryyyyyyyyy"); until here but after that not even single log is executed.
private Facebook facebook;
private AsyncFacebookRunner mAsyncRunner;
String FILENAME = "AndroidSSO_data";
private SharedPreferences mPrefs;
public void loginToFacebook() {
// mPrefs = getPreferences(SharedPreferences.);
// String access_token = mPrefs.getString("access_token", null);
//long expires = mPrefs.getLong("access_expires", 0);
// if (access_token != null) {
// facebook.setAccessToken(access_token);
// }
// if (expires != 0) {
// facebook.setAccessExpires(expires);
// }
if (!facebook.isSessionValid()) {
facebook.authorize(getActivity(),
new String[] { "email", "publish_actions" },
new DialogListener() {
#Override
public void onCancel() {
// Function to handle cancel event
}
#Override
public void onComplete(Bundle values) {
// Function to handle complete event
// Edit Preferences and update facebook acess_token
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "hiiiiii", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//mPrefs=getSharedPreferences("data", getActivity().MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = mPrefs.edit();
editor.putString("access_token",
facebook.getAccessToken());
editor.putLong("access_expires",
facebook.getAccessExpires());
editor.commit();
Log.e("getProfileInformation entry", "getProfileInformation");
getProfileInformation();
}
#Override
public void onFacebookError(FacebookError e) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onError(DialogError e) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
}
}
public void getProfileInformation() {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "byeeeeeee", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.e("getProfileInformation start", "getProfileInformation");
mAsyncRunner.request("me", new RequestListener() {
#Override
public void onComplete(String response, Object state) {
Log.d("Profile", response);
String json = response;
try {
Log.e("in try start", "tryyyyyyyyy");
JSONObject profile = new JSONObject(json);
// getting name of the user
Log.d("profile", ""+profile);
fb_name = profile.getString("name");
// getting email of the user
fb_email = profile.getString("email");
Log.d("fb_name", "naem"+fb_name+"emial"+fb_email);
//fb_login=true;
// fb_Image = getUserPic(fb_email);
// LoginFuction();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("catchhhhhh", ""+e.getMessage());
}
}
public Bitmap getUserPic(String userID) {
String imageURL;
Bitmap bitmap = null;
Log.d("TAG", "Loading Picture");
imageURL = "http://graph.facebook.com/"+userID+"/picture?type=small";
try {
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream((InputStream)new URL(imageURL).getContent());
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("TAG", "Loading Picture FAILED");
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bitmap;
}
#Override
public void onIOException(IOException e, Object state) {

#Override
public void onFileNotFoundException(FileNotFoundException e,

#Override
public void onMalformedURLException(MalformedURLException e,

#Override

});
}
This code does not give me any name or emailId.

-Hello Abhishek !
- I have tried using Facebook sdk4.+ and i am getting profile info perfectly.
-Firs of all add below code into your oncreate method before setcontentview
FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
-Then Create you Callbackmanager using below code:-
callbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create();
-Add Permissions using below code:-
permission.add("publish_actions");
-Below code is used for Login
LoginManager.getInstance().registerCallback(callbackManager,
new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(final LoginResult loginResult) {
// App code
GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newMeRequest(
act,
new GraphRequest.GraphJSONObjectCallback() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(
JSONObject object,
GraphResponse response) {
// Application code
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(object.toString())) {
try {
JSONObject jresJsonObject = new JSONObject(object.toString());
String id = "", name = "", gender = "";
if (!(jresJsonObject.isNull("id"))) {
id = jresJsonObject.getString("id");
}
if (!(jresJsonObject.isNull("gender"))) {
gender = jresJsonObject.getString("gender");
if (gender.equals("male")) {
gender = "0";
} else {
gender = "1";
}
}
if (!(jresJsonObject.isNull("name"))) {
name = jresJsonObject.getString("name");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
Log.e("graphrequest", response.toString());
}
});
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("fields", "id,name,gender,link");
request.setParameters(parameters);
request.executeAndWait();
}
#Override
public void onCancel() {
Log.i("", "Access Token:: " + "loginResult.getAccessToken()");
}
#Override
public void onError(FacebookException exception) {
Log.i("", "Access Token:: " + "loginResult.getAccessToken()");
}
});
LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithPublishPermissions(this, permission);
-Last but no least add below code in your OnActivitResult
callbackManager.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
NOTE:- This is using latest Facebook sdk
-Please inform me if it is not usefull or you are still getting issue in this.

I had the same problem. I fixed it like this.
Go to Facebook developers page
Apps --> "YourApp" --> Status and Review --> Enable ("Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?")
Like this

When you create app on Facebook. You might have testing and enabled sandbox mode as shown in image.you need to disable it.
Note: don't look at other settings.it is app for web,similarly you will have sandbox option for mobile app.

Your code is not updated for latest Facebook SDK 3.8, now Facebook provide Default class for Login, Share, Import Photo from Facebook and much more. Please follow this link
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/login-with-facebook/

Encountering Facebook SDK Error

I'm creating app that has share button on Facebook and I'm getting an error:
This Page Contains the following errors:
error on line 2 at column 182: Entityref: expecting ';'
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
I don't get this error when I run the app on the Emulator. I'm only getting this kind of error when I run the app on the device.
What is the possible cause of this error?
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

fbShare.shareFB(0);

Android: Facebook SDK - Share Post with description, thumbnail and title

I'm having trouble setting up a simple facebook wall post to the user's wall.
I want a facebook dialog box to pop up on clicking a button with a thumbnail, description and title.
I have tried the following code but no dialog box pops up:
shareOnFacebookBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
/*
* Get existing access_token if any
*/
mPrefs ShopDetailActivity.this.getActivity().getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String access_token = mPrefs.getString("access_token", null);
long expires = mPrefs.getLong("access_expires", 0);
if(access_token != null) {
facebook.setAccessToken(access_token);
}
if(expires != 0) {
facebook.setAccessExpires(expires);
}
/*
* Only call authorize if the access_token has expired.
*/
if(!facebook.isSessionValid()) {
facebook.authorize(ShopDetailActivity.this.getActivity(),new String[] { "publish_stream" }, new DialogListener() {
#Override
public void onComplete(Bundle values) {
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = mPrefs.edit();
editor.putString("access_token", facebook.getAccessToken());
editor.putLong("access_expires", facebook.getAccessExpires());
editor.commit();
//facebook.dialog(ShopDetailActivity.this.getActivity(), "feed", new SampleDialogListener());
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("message", "message");// the message to post to the wall
facebook.dialog(context, "feed", parameters, this);
}
#Override
public void onFacebookError(FacebookError error) {}
#Override
public void onError(DialogError e) {}
#Override
public void onCancel() {}
});
}
}
});
The authorize window opens and after clicking allow I'd expect the dialog box to pop up but it just returns to the app.
What am I doing wrong?

facebook = new Facebook("your facebook id");
mAsyncRunner = new AsyncFacebookRunner(facebook);
facebook.authorize(this, new String[]
{ "publish_stream", "offline_access" }, -1,
new DialogListener()
{
public void onComplete(Bundle values)
{
Log.e("tag", "Values returned by Bundle ====> " + values.toString());
fbImageSubmit();
}
public void onFacebookError(FacebookError error)
{
}
public void onError(DialogError e)
{
}
public void onCancel()
{
}
});
//add method into your class
private void fbImageSubmit()
{
if (fb != null)
{
if (fb.isSessionValid())
{
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString("picture", your image url);
b.putString("caption", title);
b
.putString(
"description",
"test");
b.putString("name", "Hi Friends, I am using the your app name app for Android!");
b.putString("link", "https://market.android.com/details?id="+this.getApplication().getPackageName().toString());
try
{
String strRet = "";
strRet = fb.request("/me/feed", b, "POST");
JSONObject json;
try
{
json = Util.parseJson(strRet);
if (!json.isNull("id"))
{
Log.i("Facebook", "Image link submitted.");
}
else
{
Log.e("Facebook", "Error: " + strRet);
}
} catch (FacebookError e)
{
Log.e("Facebook", "Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
} catch (Exception e)
{
Log.e("Facebook", "Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
}

Direct Profile from Facebook Android

I want ask how can I redirect into someone's profile after successfully logging into Facebook?
Example : If successly logged in and authorized, it will direct into this page :

I used this tutorial to connect Facebook
this is my FacebookConnectionActivity :

What you can do to redirect a user to someone's profile is use the generic profile page link.
It looks something like this -
//facebook.com/profile.php?id=USER_FBID
Where USER_FBID is the users Facebook ID. So all you need to do is have the users FBID and you can navigate directly to their profile with the link. Note that I'm using a protocol relative URL to keep the user in the same protocol when redirecting. If the user was browsing securely with HTTPS then they will be redirected to a secure link. If the user is not browsing securely then they will be directed to a normal HTTP link.
