Custom Facebook Login Button - Android

Step 1: First add FrameLayout and make facebook button visibility="gone" and add your custom button. Don't forgot to put xmlns:facebook="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" in your main layout.

<FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/FrameLayout1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <com.facebook.login.widget.LoginButton
            android:id="@+id/login_button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:visibility="gone" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/fb"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#416BC1"
            android:onClick="onClick"
            android:text="FaceBook"
            android:textColor="#ffffff"
            android:textStyle="bold" />
    </FrameLayout>

Step 2: Initialize FacebookSdk in onCreate before inflecting layout.

FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(this.getApplicationContext());

Step 3: add this into your java file.

callbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create();

fb = (Button) findViewById(R.id.fb);
loginButton = (LoginButton) findViewById(R.id.login_button);

List < String > permissionNeeds = Arrays.asList("user_photos", "email",
    "user_birthday", "public_profile", "AccessToken");
loginButton.registerCallback(callbackManager,
new FacebookCallback < LoginResult > () {@Override
    public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {

        System.out.println("onSuccess");

        String accessToken = loginResult.getAccessToken()
            .getToken();
        Log.i("accessToken", accessToken);

        GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newMeRequest(
        loginResult.getAccessToken(),
        new GraphRequest.GraphJSONObjectCallback() {@Override
            public void onCompleted(JSONObject object,
            GraphResponse response) {

                Log.i("LoginActivity",
                response.toString());
                try {
                    id = object.getString("id");
                    try {
                        URL profile_pic = new URL(
                            "http://graph.facebook.com/" + id + "/picture?type=large");
                        Log.i("profile_pic",
                        profile_pic + "");

                    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    name = object.getString("name");
                    email = object.getString("email");
                    gender = object.getString("gender");
                    birthday = object.getString("birthday");
                } catch (JSONException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
        Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
        parameters.putString("fields",
            "id,name,email,gender, birthday");
        request.setParameters(parameters);
        request.executeAsync();
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancel() {
        System.out.println("onCancel");
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(FacebookException exception) {
        System.out.println("onError");
        Log.v("LoginActivity", exception.getCause().toString());
    }
});

Step 4: Don't forget to add following code.

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int responseCode,
Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, responseCode, data);
    callbackManager.onActivityResult(requestCode, responseCode, data);
}

Step 5: Set your custom button click to FacebookLogin button click.

public void onClick(View v) {
    if (v == fb) {
        loginButton.performClick();
    }
 }

Step 6: For programmatically logout use this.

LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();

Step 7: you can find user logged in or not by profile.

profile = Profile.getCurrentProfile().getCurrentProfile();
if (profile != null) {
    // user has logged in
} else {
    // user has not logged in
}

This is very simple. Add a button in the layout file like

<Button
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Login with facebook"
    android:textColor="#ffff"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:onClick="fbLogin"
    android:background="@color/colorPrimary"/>

And in the onClick place the LoginManager's registercallback() method Becuse the this method automatically executes.

like:

  public void fbLogin(View view)
{
    // Before Edit:
    // LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithReadPermissions(this, Arrays.asList("user_photos", "email", "public_profile", "user_posts" , "AccessToken"));

    LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithReadPermissions(this, Arrays.asList("user_photos", "email", "public_profile", "user_posts"));
    LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithPublishPermissions(this, Arrays.asList("publish_actions"));
    LoginManager.getInstance().registerCallback(callbackManager,
            new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>()
            {
                @Override
                public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult)
                {
                    // App code
                }

                @Override
                public void onCancel()
                {
                    // App code
                }

                @Override
                public void onError(FacebookException exception)
                {
                    // App code
                }
            });
}

Have Fun


IMO part of the selected answer is kind of work-around not the proper solution. So what needs to be changed to make it proper is the following:

  1. Get rid of "com.facebook.login.widget.LoginButton" from your XML

    <com.facebook.login.widget.LoginButton
            android:id="@+id/login_button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:visibility="gone" />
    
  2. Get rid of all references to the "LoginButton" in your Java code

  3. Use Facebook's "LoginManager" class which is there for that purpose as follows:

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Some code
        callbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create();
        LoginManager.getInstance().registerCallback(
            callbackManager,
            new FacebookCallback < LoginResult > () {
                @Override
                public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {
                    // Handle success
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onCancel() {
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onError(FacebookException exception) {
                } 
           }
       );
    }
    
    public void onClick(View v) {
       if (v == fb) {
           LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithReadPermissions(
               this,
               Arrays.asList("user_photos", "email", "user_birthday", "public_profile")
           );
       }
    }
    
    // this part was missing thanks to wesely
    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        callbackManager.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    }
