Facebook api for android

[chomi7]

Hello I trying to create a facebook client for android but I have a problem with the facebook api; the application crash in the constructor or FacebookRestClient. Somebody know if this api is compatible with android? Another idea for solution my problem? Thanks.

What's the stack trace say?

[chomi7]

It say unhandled exception in the constructor but I can throw any exception in this line.

What's the unhandled exception? Where specifically is it being thrown from? Have you "ported" the classes to the Dalvik VM?

I'm terrible with developing, but thought I could add two cents anyway.
The blackberry version of the facebook app is WAY better than the Iphone version (like the android copy of this version).
Was hoping that the next person who makes a facebook app could try to duplicate the BB version..

I working with eclipse and I linked the jar. I never need anymore for use a jar in an android project. The line with the problem is:
FacebookRestClient f = new FacebookRestClient(apikey,id)
The problem is than I unknow the source of this class because it`s on the jar and I can`t know what's the problem.

Hello everyone,
When I added the facebook java api in an android project in Eclipse, I get this error. I understand that I need to port this to Dalvik compatible api. The error I get is,

Attempt to include a core VM class in something other than a core library.
It is likely that you have attempted to include the core library from a desktop
virtual machine into an application, which will most assuredly not work. If
you really intend to build a core library -- which is only appropriate as
part of creating a full virtual machine binary, as opposed to compiling an
application -- then use the "--core-library" option to suppress this error
message. If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact building
an application, then please be aware that your build will still fail at some
point; you will simply be denied the pleasure of reading this helpful error
message.

Anyone knows a solution for this?

facebook api are limited for Android aka google

both iphone / blackberry had their "facebook app" created BY Facebook THEMSELVES.

also rumor is that facebook just "created" an app for T-mobile / google so gotta wait to see how that comes along. hope your time isnt wasted on this.

Are you using the unofficial client @ http://code.google.com/p/facebook-java-api/ or some other jar ?
