I downloaded the android's facebook sdk but so far I couldn't configure properly. Eclipse doesn't recognize the facebook sdk as a project.
Does anyone got this problem?
You should use the git plugin to import the facebook project from github into your eclipse workspace. It's configured as an android library. And then in your android project in which you want to use the library. Right click on the project and choose properties. Click on the Android tab, and at the bottom should be a section for libraries, detailed instructions here. Click Add, and the facebook sdk should appear. Check the facebook sdk and it will then be available in your app.
Facebook SDK integration into an android application should be easy, but there are some caveats to take care of during the first integration steps, so follow it carefully:
Download the SDK from git hub - This could be done using a github client, but an easier way is to simply download the zipped version by pressing the "zip" button as appears in the following snapshot.
Extract the zip file - make sure to extract it into a folder that is not within the eclipse workspace. In the next step you will need to create a project in eclipse based on this zip, but sometimes, putting the extracted zip directly into the workspace confuses eclipse, so avoid putting it there. Put it somewhere else.
Open Eclipse and create a new Android Project (File -> New -> Project -> Android Project) for the Facebook Android SDK source. (On the next step you will add it as a reference library to your app). Create the project by selecting "Create project from existing source" and specify the facebook-sdk folder into which you extracted the zip.
(note: if you want it to be stored in the workspace itself, you can always "import" the project into the workspace later on)
Add it as a project library to your app by selection the current project (of your app) -> properties, and add the facebook project as a library to your current project.
later steps include adding permissions to the Android Manifest such as
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
and then adding your application ID into the code. I will skip the details here as it is quite straight forward.
following steps are for creating facbook-android.jar (use this jar file in your any project)
Step1: Download Facebook Android SDK from github.
Step2: Extract it. (at any location).
Step3: In Eclipse create new project using create project from existing source option
Step4: Enter the project name as "com_facebook_android".
Step5: Set Location to "facebook" folder in extracted location.
Step6: Click Finish.
Step7: Select the "com_facebook_android" project in project explorer and right click select export option.
Step8: In the export wizard select JAR file in Java folder.
Step9: Click next then browse the location for jar file and give the name as yor wish like "facebook-android.jar"
Step10: Click finish........ JAR file will be created in that location
This is not correct process, you should use facebook-android project as library project, because resource files will not import to your project while you are using .jar file
jar file is only for Java Projects not for Android Project, Some of jar files may work but not all..

EDIT: Added link to instructions
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/android/quick-start/. I am at the section "Add the App Remote SDK".
I am following the step-by-step instructions provided by Spotify to add the App Remote SDK to my Android Studio project.
Their instructions state:
Unzip the App Remote SDK zip file that you downloaded. Add the library to your project by importing it as a module. In the “Project” side bar in Android Studio (View –> Tool Windows –> Project), right click your project’s root folder and navigate to “New” –> “Module”. In the “New Module” window, choose the option “Import .JAR/AAR Package”. Click “Next”.
With Android Studio Chipmunk, this option is no longer available.
I have tried numerous ways of importing the folder "android-sdk-0.7.2.-appremote-v1.2.3-auth" as a library into my Android Project. No matter how I do it, the Gradle Sync succeeds, but my code is not able to resolve any of the com.spotify.android imports. For example:
import com.spotify.android.appremote.api.ConnectionAparams;
Why am I having so much trouble importing a library into AS Chipmunk? I never had problems when using previous versions.
Is anyone else having this issue or just me?
TO fix this problem, I compiled the library into an AAR file. I copied the AAR file to the "libs" folder. Then added it as a module in the Gradle Build. Not sure why this works, but it does...
I need to create an android studio project from this directory on github. I tried VCS -> Checkout from Version Control in Android Studio, but there is no url for this directory in the repo, so I'm not sure hot to clone just this subdirectory.
I also tried downloading the whole repo, doing File -> New -> Import Project in Android Studio, and selecting the messaging subdirectory as the folder to import. This showed a build progress bar, but after it finished, there was no imported project.
How do I do this?
I am not sure if its the correct way, but i resolved it with the following steps on Android Studio 4.1.1 :
Run Android Studio until the Welcome to Android Studio screen shows up.
Select Get from Version Control.
Paste the URL.
Press Clone button.
This will import the complete repository , but you won't be able to run the app yet (exactly as mentioned in your question) .
Now close and re open Android Studio
On welcome screen, select import Project (Gradle, Eclipse ADT, etc.)
Navigate to the folder where the project was downloaded and select the required Sub-folder
Press OK and let the Studio build your project.
I get it now. Go back to this. Then hit Download Zip and unzip it. In Android Studio go to File -> Open -> then to the quickstart-android-master and then down to messaging. Do NOT open quickstart-android-master go down to messaging and open that.
EDIT
Be aware you will have to follow these instructions to get the project to build and run.

How to import facebook sdk 4.8.2 in eclipse. I am unable to import as facebook folder contains aar file when we directly download developer site. And from git , unable to get src files of facebook
Here you have an answer from Android Facebook SDK 4 in Eclipse
I also have faced this problem, so I will write a short guide, how to
install it in Eclipse.
Step 1. Import to Eclipse First of all, download the latest
version of SDK (on current moment it is 4.0). Unzip it to a
folder.
Open Eclipse, click the right mouse button in "PackageExplorer" and
choose "Import". After that, go to "Android" -> "Existing Android
Code Into Workspace".
Now click "Browse" and choose unzipped SDK folder, and deselect all
other found projects, except from the "facebook" (it is an SDK).
Other included projects are just samples, and you don't need them now.
You may select "copy project to workspace" checkbox, if you need this.
Step 2. Fixing errors After importing, we will see, that the
whole facebook SDK package are in errors:
But if we look closer, and open one of marked as error classes, we
will find, that SDK tried to importsupport.v4 library:
It required for properly compilation. You can find instructions how to
download it using Android SDK Managerhere.
After it downloading, you can find it in your Android sdk folder:
<sdk>/extras/android/support/v4. Then add it to the facebook SDK
project: right mouse click on SDK project -> "Properties" -> "Java
Build Path" -> "Libraries" -> "Add External JARs", and choose
android-support-v4.jar from it's folder.
After that a lot of errors will be gone:
But, there are other errors. So we are going to another class, and
found it error code piece. Move mouse pointer on it, and Eclipse will
show you the hint, of what kind of error you are facing. It says that
your compliance Java must be version 1.7. Allow Eclipse do it by
clicking "Change project ...", or do it manually by going to
"Properties" -> "Java Complier" -> "Compiler compilance level"
-> "1.7".
OR
Moving ahead. Now we are facing only one kind of error, that says that
the FB SDK can't find required Bolts Android library.
We are going to google, found it compiled jar in a repository.
Choose the latest version (for current moment it's 1.2.0, but SDK
gradle file is using 1.1.4, so you may choose that), and download the
jar. Now add it to the facebook SDK as external lib, as we do it
before.
Voila! Ther are no errors anymore!
Also don't forget to set in the facebook SDK project "Properties" ->
"Android", that it is a Library.
Just for ensurance, close/re-open the SDK project and clean it
("Eclipse menu" -> "Project" -> "Clean"), so all files can build
properly.
Step 3. Add it to the Android project Now you can try to add
it to your Android app. Go to your Android app project "Properties"
-> "Android" -> "Library" -> "Add", and choose facebook SDK.
Follow official tutorial, and set up your Android application
project (don't forget to add all required elements to Manifest.xml).
Than you can use this tutorial to add LoginButton to your
Activity. Try to build it. It should run without problem.

Hope it help
EDIT: As you would see in the comments below, this answer is not already corrected. The best way to deal with this problem is export project from Eclipse to Android Studio, which doesn't have this issue and becoming the first Android Developer tool, where Eclipse seems to be as was said on Android Dev Summit 2015 truly deprecated.
Thank you so much! I'm still procrastinating migrating from Eclipse to Android Studio. And I found that the last version that works with Eclipse would be Facebook Android SDK 4.5.1. Download link here: https://origincache.facebook.com/developers/resources/?id=facebook-android-sdk-4.5.1.zip
Following this instructions make it work!
First of all. Please do not lock or report this thread. I've tried all similar stackoverflow questions and none have fixed my problem!
Since I've added the google play services lib to my project (and the external JAR file)
I keep getting the same error over and over again.
I've downloaded the google play libs with my SDK manager, I've imported the project and then I referred to the play library in my app and added the external JAR file.
Pictures:
Can anybody tell me what I did wrong or how I can fix this problem?
I'm just trying to make my app login with Google+ really..
Thank you

Since I've added the google play services lib to my project (and the external JAR file) I keep getting the same error over and over again.
Its a library project and you to reference the same in your android project.
I've imported the project and then I referred to the play library in my app and added the external JAR file.
Remvoe the external jar. Reference the library project as below.
http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html
If you are using android-studio follow the steps in the above link under the title Using Android Studio:
If you are using eclipse as a in IDE.
Copy the google-play services_lib library project to your workspace (folder where your android map project is). The library project can be found under the following path.
<android-sdk-folder>/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib library project .
Import the library project to your eclipse
Click File > Import, select Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace, and browse the workspace import the library project. You can check if it is library project. Right click on the library project. Goto properties. Click Android on the left panel. You will see Is Library checked.
Right click on your android project. Goto properties. Choose Android on the left panel. Click on Add and browse the library project. Select the same. Click ok and apply
I am creating an Android Application with a team of others. Typically I use netbeans, and I have never had trouble with netbeans or svn. But as eclipse has the android plugins, we are using eclipse.
What I need to do is check in my current a android application, so that then my team members can all check it out(as an android project) and continue to develop and test on their own computers.
Current when we check out a project from SVN, eclipse does not recognized the project as an android project.
I recently had this problem too. The thing is that the ".project" file was not imported in SVN; because of this Eclipse will add a new ".project" file whenever and however you check out the project from SVN; the other part of the problem is the poorly designed "Android Project from Existing Code" option.
Solution:
- delete the .project file from your working copy
- ["optional"] move the project folder somewhere else (because the "Android Project from Existing Code" option will not work if you try to create the project in the same place)
- create new project and select "Android Project from Existing Code"
After creating the project commit the newly generated .project file to SVN; this way the others will be able to simply click "Check Out" and start working :)
Note: Make sure to also commit the other android related files (e.g. project.properties)
