Import Facebook SDK on Android Studio 0.5.1

Question

I've been searching around for a while now and tried every answer I could find with no success. I am starting to believe that the problem is in the android studio version.

However here is what I've done:

1 - I've downloaded the facebook sdk

2 - Copied the sdk into my libs folder so the project looks like following:

 MyProj
 -app
 --libs
 ---facebook
 ----build.gradle (2)
 --build.gradle (1)
 -settings.gradle

3 - I modified settings.gradle:

include ':libs:facebook', ':app'

4 - I modified build.gradle (1) to:

apply plugin: 'android'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }


    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'me.dm7.barcodescanner:zxing:1.0'
    compile 'com.koushikdutta.ion:ion:1.2.4'
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.+'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.1.1'
    compile project(':libs:facebook');
}

5 - Lastly edited build.gradle (2):

 buildscript {
        repositories {
            mavenCentral()
        }
        dependencies {
            classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.+'
        }
    }

apply plugin: 'android-library'

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 19
    }

    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            resources.srcDirs = ['src']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
        }
    }
}

Now when syncing I get the annoying warning: Gradle 'MyApp' project refresh failed: Configuration with name 'default' not found

And I am not able to use the facebook library.

I guess I'm doing something wrong with the gradle files. Any ideas?

Answer 1

On Mac with Android Studio 0.5.8, this is what worked for me:

1. Click on the top level project and select project structure:

2. Click the + to add another module

3. Click on "Import Existing Project" and "Next"

4. Select the facebook directory from your SDK folder and click next

5. The facebook module should now be shown in addition to your existing module

6. Click on your project, select the Dependencies tab and click '+' to add a dependency.

7. Select "Module Dependency" as dependency type.

8. Select the Facebook module that we just added

9. Note that it shows up under dependencies (of your app)

And you're all set!
