was just curious as to how I can go about reading Facebook status posts from a particular page through my Android application.
I looked into the Facebook API but that seems to be more related to making Facebook applications, which wasn't my intent.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a guide or link that will explain to me how to do this it will be much appreciated.
Well the whole idea of the Facebook API is so that you can call their functions to give you access to Facebook content. If you want to incorporate them into your Android Application, try using their Android SDK

I"m trying to implement facebook connect on a WebView. My problem is I couldn't figure out how to implement it.
As per the documentation I called the api as below
window.location.href="https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=148352165368959&redirect_uri=https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html&response_type=code%20token&scope=email,publish_actions"
It bring up the confirmation window etc etc but I'm not sure how to navigate back to application and how to get the information from the https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html
I've gone through the Bbq plugin but documentation is hard for a newbie like me. Thanks for your time in advance.

If you wish to integrate Facebook with your Android application then use the Facebook SDK.

I want to get the wall posts on a Facebook page on my Android app and present it (It would be better to present it in the layout similar to official Facebook app for Android).
I have just started using Facebook SDK and am able to log in/out of my profile. I read various stackoverflow posts on this topic but I couldn't get things working with any of them. All I understood is that Graph API can be used to get Facebook page's contents. However, to access Facebook pages, it needs some authorization tokens, which I couldn't really understand. There being no simple actual tutorial on how to do this, it seems complicated to me.
Can anyone please simplify the steps to get the posts from Facebook page and present it in my app? Also, is it possible to get official Facebook App style layout for the presentation of page wall contents inside my app?
Any help would be appreciated.. thanks a lot in advance.. :)
I have seen widgets and apps that show you status updates of your friends on facebook. Does anyone know if it is possible via a custom app to comment or like things from an app or is there no public API for functions of this nature.
Try looking at http://developers.facebook.com and that has all of the API documents you should need (look at Graph API, if that doesn't have it look at the legacy REST API). If there's something missing, request it using the bugzilla on that website.

Facebook have an SDK for Android, which your app can use to integrate with Facebook, and do the things you're describing
https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk
I saw some topics here regarding facebook and twitter integration with Android Application.
I need help regarding, is twitter integration with Android App possible in real??

If i wanted to integrate Facebook with my App then whether i go as per explained in following link(and if this is the recommended way then how to implement this SDK):
http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?pid=146956
or
else i use Android facebook SDK available here on code.google.com
The official facebook SDK for android is here:

It includes complete examples of use.

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.
Is there any way to access a Facebook non-user page (ex: Musician, Product, etc) through an API through Android? I saw that there is a Facebook Android SDK but I haven't been able to figure out if this can be done.
Yes this can be done. Have a look at the Graph API docs from facebook. I don't have very much insight into exactly how this is done with Android but the SDK should have example code to get you on the right track.
