FACEBOOK API, ANDROID, AND YOU
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE FRUSTRATING!
FACEBOOK QUICKSTART
https://developers.facebook.com/quickstarts/
IMPORT FACEBOOK MODULE
File -> Import Module
COULD NOT FIND PROPERTY 'ANDROID_BUILD_SDK_VERSION' ON PROJECT
':FACEBOOK'.
In top level folder, open gradle.properties and add:
• ANDROID_BUILD_TARGET_SDK_VERSION=21
• ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION=21.0.1
• ANDROID_BUILD_SDK_VERSION=21
• ANDROID_BUILD_MIN_SDK_VERSION=15
I copied my settings from the app level build.gradle
ADD FACEBOOK DEPENDENCY TO MAIN APP
File -> Project Structure
SHARING IN ANDROID
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/share#linkapi
ADDING UI HELPER CODE
Follow the directions on the websiteand add the code from step one to the activity in which you want to add a button to post to Facebook.
Shortcut to Import All
Ctrl + Alt + O
Cycles through each item and lets you addit by hitting Alt + Enter.
ADDING THE SHARE BUTTON
Create a button on your activity page and link it to a method with the code from step two!
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
To edit the kinds of things you want to post to Facebook, edit the ShareDialogBuilder. The page for that can be found here:

Instructions on how to upload images, links, places, etc, can all be found there.
