android: Facebook SDK AsyncTask error

This problem has been haunting me down. I have spend enormous time to solve this issue but failed. First of all I am using latest SDK (version 22).

Whenever I add Facebook to my project via Preferences>Android>Library, I get error in console showing this.

[2014-06-03 15:15:04 - Test] Found 3 versions of android-support-v4.jar in the dependency list,
[2014-06-03 15:15:04 - Test] but not all the versions are identical (check is based on SHA-1 only at this time).
[2014-06-03 15:15:04 - Test] All versions of the libraries must be the same at this time.
[2014-06-03 15:15:04 - Test] Versions found are:

[2014-06-03 15:15:04 - Test] Jar mismatch! Fix your dependencies

Then I tried replacing android-support-v4.jar file from Facebook's libs folder to my Test project and appcompat_v7 project. This shows following error in logcat:

There is nothing related to AsyncTask in my Activity. I guess its related to FB SDK. Can anyone help how to solve this issue please..

I was about to start a bounty and I was checking HelloFacebookSample and decided to give it a try.

I was putting my app id as this: 

<meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="MY_APP_ID"/>

but what it should have been:

<meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/app_id"/>

I never thought this could create such an error. They should put this as warning in their tutorial I guess!
