Login

Login Dialog

The Login Dialog built into Facebook for Android gives developers a native way to use Facebook Login in their apps without having to make a fast-app-switch to Facebook for Android.

Feed Dialog

The Facebook SDK for Android provides access to the Feed Dialog, which publishes posts to news feed.

Publish to Feed

The Facebook SDK for Android provides a method to let you publish stories from your app to a user's timeline.

Send Requests

The Requests Dialog lets you provide basic Facebook functionality in your app with a few lines of code.

Request App Links

The implementation builds on top of Send Requests, adding logic to detect the incoming notification, show the notification and then clear it.

Link To Your App

Allows you to link bookmarks, requests, news feed and timeline stories from Facebook in your app.

Fetch User Data

This doc outlines how to use the SDK to request user data and retrieve user details for fields available via typed access and non-typed access.

Run FQL Queries

FQL, the Facebook Query Language, allows you to use a SQL-style interface to query data exposed by the Graph API.

Batch Requests

The Graph API supports batching of requests, so you can specify multiple requests in a single HTTP request.
