Constructors
FacebookSdk()
public FacebookSdk()
Class Methods
sdkInitialize(Context, int)

This function initializes the Facebook SDK, the behavior of Facebook SDK functions are undetermined if this function is not called. It should be called as early as possible.

public static synchronized void sdkInitialize(Context applicationContext, int callbackRequestCodeOffset)
ParameterDescription
applicationContextThe application context
callbackRequestCodeOffsetThe request code offset that Facebook activities will be called with. Please do not use the range between the value you set and another 100 entries after it in your other requests.
sdkInitialize(Context)

This function initializes the Facebook SDK, the behavior of Facebook SDK functions are undetermined if this function is not called. It should be called as early as possible.

public static synchronized void sdkInitialize(Context applicationContext)
ParameterDescription
applicationContextThe application context
isInitialized()

Indicates whether the Facebook SDK has been initialized.

public static synchronized boolean isInitialized()
Returns
True if initialized, false if not
getLoggingBehaviors()

Certain logging behaviors are available for debugging beyond those that should be enabled in production.

Returns the types of extended logging that are currently enabled.

Returns
A set containing enabled logging behaviors
addLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior)

Certain logging behaviors are available for debugging beyond those that should be enabled in production.

Enables a particular extended logging in the SDK.

public static void addLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior behavior)
ParameterDescription
behaviorThe LoggingBehavior to enable
removeLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior)

Certain logging behaviors are available for debugging beyond those that should be enabled in production.

Disables a particular extended logging behavior in the SDK.

public static void removeLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior behavior)
ParameterDescription
behaviorThe LoggingBehavior to disable
clearLoggingBehaviors()

Certain logging behaviors are available for debugging beyond those that should be enabled in production.

Disables all extended logging behaviors.

public static void clearLoggingBehaviors()
isLoggingBehaviorEnabled(LoggingBehavior)

Certain logging behaviors are available for debugging beyond those that should be enabled in production.

Checks if a particular extended logging behavior is enabled.

public static boolean isLoggingBehaviorEnabled(LoggingBehavior behavior)

behaviorThe LoggingBehavior to check
Returns
Whether behavior is enabled
isDebugEnabled()

Indicates if we are in debug mode.

public static boolean isDebugEnabled()
setIsDebugEnabled(boolean)

Used to enable or disable logging, and other debug features. Defaults to BuildConfig.DEBUG.

public static void setIsDebugEnabled(boolean enabled)
ParameterDescription
enabledDebug features (like logging) are enabled if true, disabled if false.
isLegacyTokenUpgradeSupported()

Indicates if the SDK should fallback and read the legacy token. This is turned off by default for performance.

Returns
If the legacy token upgrade is supported.

Setter for legacy token upgrade.

public static void setLegacyTokenUpgradeSupported(boolean supported)
ParameterDescription
supportedTrue if upgrade should be supported.
getExecutor()

Returns the Executor used by the SDK for non-AsyncTask background work.

By default this uses AsyncTask Executor via reflection if the API level is high enough. Otherwise this creates a new Executor with defaults similar to those used in AsyncTask.

Returns
An Executor used by the SDK. This will never be null.
setExecutor(Executor)

Sets the Executor used by the SDK for non-AsyncTask background work.

public static void setExecutor(Executor executor)
ParameterDescription
executorThe Executor to use; must not be null.
getFacebookDomain()

Gets the base Facebook domain to use when making Web requests; in production code this will always be "facebook.com".

public static String getFacebookDomain()
Returns
The Facebook domain
setFacebookDomain(String)

Sets the base Facebook domain to use when making Web requests. This defaults to "facebook.com", but may be overridden to, e.g., "beta.facebook.com" to direct requests at a different domain. This method should never be called from production code.

public static void setFacebookDomain(String facebookDomain)
ParameterDescription
facebookDomainThe base domain to use instead of "facebook.com"
getApplicationContext()

The getter for the context of the current application.

public static Context getApplicationContext()
Returns
The context of the current application.
publishInstallAsync(Context, String)

This method is public in order to be used by app events, please don't use directly.

ParameterDescription
contextThe application context.
applicationIdThe application id.
getSdkVersion()

Returns the current version of the Facebook SDK for Android as a string.

public static String getSdkVersion()
Returns
The current version of the SDK
getLimitEventAndDataUsage(Context)

Returns whether data such as those generated through AppEventsLogger and sent to Facebook should be restricted from being used for purposes other than analytics and conversions, such as targeting ads to this user. Defaults to false. This value is stored on the device and persists across app launches.

public static boolean getLimitEventAndDataUsage(Context context)
ParameterDescription
contextUsed to read the value.
setLimitEventAndDataUsage(Context, boolean)

Sets whether data such as those generated through AppEventsLogger and sent to Facebook should be restricted from being used for purposes other than analytics and conversions, such as targeting ads to this user. Defaults to false. This value is stored on the device and persists across app launches. Changes to this setting will apply to app events currently queued to be flushed.

getOnProgressThreshold()

Gets the threshold used to report progress on requests.

isFacebookRequestCode(int)

Returns true if the request code is within the range used by Facebook SDK requests. This does not include request codes that you explicitly set on the dialogs, buttons or LoginManager.
