Error inflating class com.facebook.widget.LoginButton

Question

I have built a Facebook integration using the steps from the 3.0 documentation. It works fine in when I deploy the app to my phone using Eclispe; however, when I export the app to upload it to the store and side load the apk, it fails with the following error. The SDK is there and loaded, when I export it. Any clue on where I am going wrong?

EDIT: -----------------------------------------------

Here is what I have tried:

1. Tried cleaning both my project and the FacebookSDK about 50 times.
2. Removed the FacebookSDK and readded it 3 times.

I have tried everything I can find on the internet and cannot figure out what the issue is.

Answer 1

FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());

this before setContentView

  setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
