Android: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference

[costimuraru]

Awesome job on this library! I managed to get it work on Desktop, but on Android I'm getting a NullPointerException.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference
        at com.facebook.login.LoginClient.getLogger(LoginClient.java:373)

in com.facebook.login.LoginClient.getLogger pendingRequest.getApplicationId() seems to be null.

The code I'm using:

Gdx.app.setLogLevel(Application.LOG_DEBUG);
GDXFacebookConfig config = new GDXFacebookConfig();
config.APP_ID = "replaced-this-with-actual-app-id"; // required
config.PREF_FILENAME = ".facebookSessionData"; // optional
config.GRAPH_API_VERSION = "v2.6"; // optional, default is v2.6
GDXFacebook facebook = GDXFacebookSystem.install(config);

Array<String> permissions = new Array<String>();
permissions.add("email");
permissions.add("public_profile");
permissions.add("user_friends");

facebook.signIn(SignInMode.READ, permissions, new GDXFacebookCallback<SignInResult>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(SignInResult result) {
        // Login successful
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(GDXFacebookError error) {
        // Error handling
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancel() {
        // When the user cancels the login process
    }

    @Override
    public void onFail(Throwable t) {
        // When the login fails
    }
});

Did I miss something

Am I doing something wrong?

[costimuraru]

After some good old debugging, seems to work fine after I add:

FacebookSdk.setApplicationId(getString(R.string.facebook_app_id));

in my class AndroidLauncher extends com.badlogic.gdx.backends.android.AndroidApplication

Shouldn't FacebookSdk.setApplicationId be performed by the gdx-facebook library or by the facebook android library itself? Or should we add this to the wiki.

Perhaps I'm missing something here... :D

No idea what might be wrong. Did you add the app id to the AndroidManifest.xml?

If you provide a working project example I can look further into it.
