Adding Facebook Dependency

Question

I'm trying to add Facebook dependency to my project.

I tried adding the following to my pom.xml:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.facebook.android</groupId>
        <artifactId>facebook-android-sdk</artifactId>
        <version>4.1.0</version>
        <type>aar</type>
    </dependency>

And suddenly none of the previously accepted dependencies is found:

When I exclude support-v4 library

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.facebook.android</groupId>
        <artifactId>facebook-android-sdk</artifactId>
        <version>4.1.0</version>
        <type>aar</type>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <artifactId>support-v4</artifactId>
                <groupId>com.android.support</groupId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

I don't have as many errors,

but it does not seem to include my dependency:

Is there anything I'm missing there?

Here's my build :

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2</groupId>
            <artifactId>android-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${android.maven.version}</version> <!-- 4.0.0-rc.2 -->
            <goals>
                <goal>consume-aar</goal>
            </goals>
            <extensions>true</extensions>
            <configuration>
                <sdk>
                    <platform>${platform.version}</platform> <!-- 4.3 -->
                </sdk>
                <deleteConflictingFiles>true</deleteConflictingFiles>
                <undeployBeforeDeploy>true</undeployBeforeDeploy>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

--- EDIT ----

The dependency tree seems fine:

which one? it does not complain about facebook (which is in the maven central).. — Majid Laissi, Jun 01 '15 at 20:54
the question is do you want to use `facebook-android-sdk` artefact without the android libraries? otherwise you most likely want to check this : https://github.com/simpligility/maven-android-sdk-deployer according to this stack: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18380337/android-support-library-setup-with-maven — Tiberiu C., Jun 01 '15 at 21:08
thank you again for your help, I just added the dependency tree, which seems fine :-/ — Majid Laissi, Jun 01 '15 at 21:08
I just want to include Facebook to my project, any method would do.. — Majid Laissi, Jun 01 '15 at 21:14
I'm pretty sure that it won't work without the `com.android.support:support-v4`, even if you manage to fix the pom config, because it may have direct class imports to it, otherwise they wouldn't specify it as a dependency. Maybe this lib is better suited for your needs : http://projects.spring.io/spring-social-facebook/ — Tiberiu C., Jun 01 '15 at 21:21
Thanks, but this seemes more like a webserver library though will lots of spring libraries.. — Majid Laissi, Jun 01 '15 at 22:35

compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5)' 

1. Go to Android Studio | New Project | Minimum SDK
2. Select "API 15: Android 4.0.3" or higher and create your new project.
3. In your project, open
your_app | Gradle Scripts | build.gradle
4. Add the Maven Central Repository to build.gradle before dependencies:
repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
5. Add compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5)' to your build.gradle dependencies.
6. Build your project.
7. Import Facebook SDK into your app:
import com.facebook.FacebookSdk;
