Could not find Facebook SDK.apk

Question

Hey I know this was asked before, but none of the solutions seem to help.

This is NOT a duplicate

I have used the Facebook SDK before on an earlier project, now I started a new one and I get this weird error.

I have set a reference to the library
I have set the Facebook SDK project as a library
I have tried deleting it and re-adding it according to the official documentation, and basically tried everything in this question.

Though I still get this error and can't find out why.

Worth to mention, when I tried to use the facebook class, it gave me an error with an option of "fix project", which I did and still didn't work, might be related?

Depending on the answer - we'll see if it is a duplicate :) – Lix Jun 10 '12 at 20:00 — Lix, Jun 10 '12 at 20:00

This is common error. Just remove FacebookSDK project from Properties->Java Build Path->Projects . This project should be referenced from Properties->Android

For more information, see this answer: Could not find Library.apk!

@rottz This was answered much after I solved it, and it shouldn't be marked though it's a common solution as I didn't try it, and my solution (as bad as it is) did work. – eric.itzhak Dec 17 '13 at 16:00

Well, after alot of searches the only thing that worked for me is just creating a new project and copying all the files to it.

I tried avoiding it but that seems like the only thing that works =/

As there is no answer on this topic whatsoever, so if someone could find out a better solution - it will be very helpfull to the community

Hmm.. I just want to ask whether did you import the Facebook SDK into Eclipse itself? Because I had did a project using Facebook and the thing is that besides referencing, the guide I followed actually instructed that the SDK must be imported into the Eclipse.

You might probably want to have a look at this. Else, the other way is just like what you did, copying all the files.

Try deleting the Facebook application for Android (if you have one installed on your phone). This worked for me.

i dont know how this is happened but it works :

first : i have added all facebook3.0 related sample + facebookSDk projects in one workspace .

second : i have run a sample project . in which i found a .jar file : androiddependencies->facebooksdk.jar (note this exact path )

third :

1.) i created my project .

2.) inside this i have removed errors by :- FixProjectSetup (atLast position )

3.) i have added facebooksdk.jar by right_clicking at project->properties->android->by checking android 4.2 + reference the Facebooksdk -> done .

now i am able to create and run programs easily .
