I am trying to integrate an android app with the the new facebook 3.0 api, but I get this exception:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resume activity {dk.imu.konnekt/com.facebook.LoginActivity}: com.facebook.FacebookException: Cannot call LoginActivity with a null calling package. This can occur if the launchMode of the caller is singleInstance.
I have search for this error but no one else seems to have had any troble with it. I guess it is because I am using a TabHost and TabsGroupActivities for each tab. But I have no clue on how to solve it.
I have added the relevant code here:
public class MainTabActivity extends TabActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanteState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanteState);
setContentView(R.layout.tab_layout);
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
View shareTab = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.share_tab, null);
tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("Share").setIndicator(shareTab)
.setContent(new Intent(MainTabActivity.this, ShareGroupActivity.class)));
...
}
}
-
public class ShareGroupActivity extends TabsGroupActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
startChildActivity("ShareActivity", new Intent(this, ShareActivity.class));
}
}
-
public class ShareActivity extends BaseActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.share);
testFacebookConnection();
}
public void testFacebookConnection(){
Session session = new Session(this);
Session.setActiveSession(session);
SessionState state = session.getState();
Settings.addLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior.INCLUDE_ACCESS_TOKENS);
Session.StatusCallback statusCallback =
new Session.StatusCallback() {
@Override
public void call(Session session, SessionState state, Exception exception) {
Toast.makeText(ShareActivity.this, "Facebook session status changed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
if (!session.isOpened() && !session.isClosed() && session.getState() != SessionState.OPENING) {
OpenRequest open = new OpenRequest(this).setCallback(statusCallback);
List<String> permission = new ArrayList<String>();
permission.add("publish_actions");
open.setPermissions(permission);
session.openForPublish(open);
} else {
Session.openActiveSession(this, true, statusCallback);
}
}
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
Session.getActiveSession().onActivityResult(this, requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
}
Any clue on how to solve it?
Update 1 stack trace:

Update 2: I looked through the code and found the implementation of startChildActivity:
public void startChildActivity(String Id, Intent intent) {
Window window = getLocalActivityManager().startActivity(Id,intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
if (window != null) {
mIdList.add(Id);
setContentView(window.getDecorView());
}
}
It uses the flag FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP. I tried to remove it, but no change in the outcome.
Update 3:
The Facebook code uses
callingPackage = getCallingPackage();
and
if (callingPackage == null) {
throw new FacebookException(NULL_CALLING_PKG_ERROR_MSG);
}
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#getCallingPackage()
This method has a note:
If the calling activity is not expecting a result (that is it did not use the startActivityForResult(Intent, int) form that includes a request code), then the calling package will be null.
In the method startChildActivity I use the getLocalActivityManager().startActivity, in TabsGroupActivity that extends ActivityGroup, to handle tab activities. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/LocalActivityManager.html#startActivity(java.lang.String, android.content.Intent)
This method does not what the notes says. It does not expect a result and does not use the startActivityForResult method. The method also ensures something similar to singleinstance launchmode. How should I change this method implementation, so it can work with facebook?
I managed to find my problem. Although I wasn't setting
android:launchMode="singleTask"
my LoginActivity had
android:noHistory="true"
which results in that exception. I put noHistory true because I didn't want the user to be able to press back button on the first activity after login and go back to login screen. Now I need to find another solution.
