  compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-core:4.+'
  // Facebook Login only
  compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-login:4.+'
  // Facebook Share only

  compile 'com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:4.+'
  // Account Kit
  compile 'com.facebook.android:account-kit-sdk:4.+'
}

dependencies { 
  // Facebook SDK Core only (Analytics)
  implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-core:4.+'  // Facebook Login only
  implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-login:4.+'  // Facebook Share only
  implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-share:4.+'  // Facebook Places only

  implementation 'com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:4.+'  // Account Kit
  implementation 'com.facebook.android:account-kit-sdk:4.+'}

Android Studio Setup

To use the Facebook SDK in a project, add the SDK as a build dependency and import the SDK.

1. Go to Android Studio | New Project | Minimum SDK.
2. Select API 15: Android 4.0.3 (IceCreamSandwich) or higher and create your new project.
3. After you create a new project, open Gradle Scripts | build.gradle (Project: <your_project> and do the following:

1. implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5)'

2. Save and close build.gradle (Module: app).
4. Build your project. Now you can import com.facebook.FacebookSdk into your app.

Add Facebook App ID

Then add your Facebook App ID to your project's strings file and update your Android manifest:

1. Open your /app/res/values/strings.xml file.

2. Add a string element with the name attribute facebook_app_id and value as your Facebook App ID to the file. For example

<string name="facebook_app_id">Facebook App ID</string>

3. Open /app/manifests/AndroidManifest.xml

4. Add a uses-permission element to the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

5. Add a meta-data element to the application element:

<application android:label="@string/app_name" ...>
    ...
    <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>
    ...
</application>

Sending Images or Videos

If you're sharing links, images or video via the Facebook for Android app, you also need to declare the FacebookContentProvider in the manifest.

Append your app id to the end of the authorities value. For example if your Facebook app id is 1234, the declaration looks like:

<provider android:authorities="com.facebook.app.FacebookContentProvider1234"
          android:name="com.facebook.FacebookContentProvider"

          android:exported="true" />
