Question

I am creating a simple app to get and post some information on any facebook account!

I cant get past logging in and out. ive check out the facebook tutorial website but invain! i have been on the issue for days now.

This is the code that ive written. I need to know where i have messed up. The code builds with no errors but crashes when i click the ‘Login’ Button.

Ive also copied the LogCat after the code.

import com.facebook.android.*;
import com.facebook.android.AsyncFacebookRunner.RequestListener;
import com.facebook.android.Facebook.*;

public class FbExample extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

Facebook facebook = new Facebook("xxxxxxx");
AsyncFacebookRunner mAsyncRunner;
Button login;
TextView logoutResult;
private SharedPreferences mPrefs;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.fbexample);
    login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bLogin);
    logoutResult = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvLogoutResult);
    login.setOnClickListener(this);
    mPrefs = getPreferences(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);
    }

}

Answer 1

You did not instantiate mAsyncRunner before calling mAsyncRunner.logout()

Can you change the following line:

 AsyncFacebookRunner mAsyncRunner;

to

 AsyncFacebookRunner mAsyncRunner = new AsyncFacebookRunner(facebook);

Please let me know if that helps.
