Facebook published own SDK to maven. Using it is encouraged.
Facebook Android SDK library built with gradle in aar format for usage with android gradle build system. Versions included: 3.0.2, 3.5.0, 3.5.2, 3.6.0, 3.7.0, 3.8.0, 3.14.1, 3.15.0, 3.16, 3.17.1, 3.19.0, 3.19.1, 3.20
Before you can get aar you should checkout facebook-android-sdk submodule. Overall build process including build is straightforward:
$ git submodule update --init
...
$ ./gradlew build
...
When build is finished aar file will be located in build/libs
.
Starting from 3.14 version facebook depends on bolts framework. Android gradle plugin does not resolve aar dependencies implicitly. You'll have to make it explicitly:
compile ('com.facebook:facebook-android-sdk:+@aar') {
transitive = true
}
For a lazy people (such as I) there's a maven repository with already built facebook artifact located at http://mente.github.io/facebook-api-android-aar . build.gradle
example:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
mavenLocal()
maven {
url "http://mente.github.io/facebook-api-android-aar"
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile ('com.facebook:facebook-android-sdk:+@aar') {
transitive = true
}
//your other dependencies
}
android {
//android build setup
}
