Facebook Sdk Has Not Been Initialized FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize()

Hey I know this was asked before, but none of the solutions seem to help. I'm using first time Facebook SDK in my application.

What I've tried:

I had tried most of the things found on Internet but did not get anything regarding this.

Here is my MainActivity.java:

 public class MainActivity extends Activity {

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
   } 
}

Here is My Activitymain.xml:

 <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:facebook="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">

 <com.facebook.login.widget.LoginButton
    android:id="@+id/connectWithFbButton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:text="  connect_with_facebook" /> 
</LinearLayout>

see my Logcat:

 05-13 16:30:39.332: E/AndroidRuntime(10264): Caused by: The SDK has not been initialized, make sure to call FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize() first.

For some one who has disabled the auto initialization of SDK to get the concent of the user then they can use

  FacebookSdk.setAutoInitEnabled(true)
  FacebookSdk.fullyInitialize()

To initialize the SDK again

            android: name="com.facebook.accountkit.ClientToken"
            android:value="@string/facebook_client_token" />

For SDK v13.+ you must add App ID and Client Token.

  1. Open the /app/res/values/strings.xml file in your app project and add:
<string name="facebook_app_id">1234</string>
<string name="facebook_client_token">56789</string>
  1. Open the /app/manifests/AndroidManifest.xml file in your app project and add:
<application android:label="@string/app_name" ...>
    ...
    <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>
    <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ClientToken" android:value="@string/facebook_client_token"/>
    ...
</application>

You can find your Client Token in your FB Developer account:

App > Dashboard > Settings > Advanced > Security > Client token.

For me, this issue arose due to a package in my application called react-native-fbsdk. Please check your package.json file for the same.

I removed the package using npm uninstall fbsdk and rebuilt by app and it worked perfectly.

Hope this solution works for you!

My app was crashing because the Privacy Policy url was not provided in "Settings/Basic" in https://developers.facebook.com/. (in fact it was provided but I had to "Save changes" again. Seems a bug from Facebook).

The app was working fine and the error message Facebook Sdk Has Not Been Initialized FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize()disappeared. Hope this help.

If this helps anyone. For me I had to make this change

implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-login:latest.release' // for FB login

the above line of code must be added to the END of the dependencies object and not anywhere in between. This is in android/app/build.gradle file

Seeing the responses listed in this question, the old way to initialize Facebook was:

public class MyApplication extends Application {

 @Override
 public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    // Initialize the SDK before executing any other operations,
    FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
    AppEventsLogger.activateApp(this);
   }
 }

But we can get the message:

Facebook Sdk Has Not Been Initialized FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize()

FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize() now is deprecated.

Now (2021) Facebook initialization has changed, the Facebook initialization is automatically.

1 Add the following to the dependencies {} section of your build.gradle (module: app) file to compile the latest version of the Facebook SDK for Android:

implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:latest.release'

Add Your Facebook App ID and Client Token

Add your Facebook App ID and Client Token to your project's strings file and update your Android manifest:

1 Open your /app/res/values/strings.xml file.

2 Add a string element with the name attribute facebook_app_id and value as your Facebook App ID to the file. For example

<string name="facebook_app_id">Facebook App ID</string>
<string name="facebook_client_token">Facebook Client ID</string>

3 Open /app/manifests/AndroidManifest.xml

4 Add a uses-permission element to the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

5 Add a meta-data element to the application element:

<application android:label="@string/app_name" ...>
    ...
    <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>
    <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ClientToken" android:value="@string/facebook_client_token"/>
    ...
</application>

Follow only 2 Step and your Facebook Sdk iw working in React Native

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

    <string name="facebook_app_id">YOUR_APP_ID_HERE</string>

Don't Need this b'coz Its Deprecated Now 

  FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());

Problem

While integrating Android SDK for a react-native project, I had finished the Android with React Native v0.30+ Project Configuration guide, and ran react-native run-android and then got this screen:

I learned that FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize is deprecated. see here

After some searching, I realized that the guide did not contain the steps to add the Facebook App ID for my app.

Solution

  1. Open android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file and look in the <application> tag to confirm that this meta-data tag exists:

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

  2. Open android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml file and confirm that this there is a "facebook_app_id" string tag with your app id as the value:

    <string name="facebook_app_id">YOUR_APP_ID_HERE</string>

  3. Run react-native run-android.

These are the steps that worked for me.

There is a reason why sdkInitialize() is deprecated.

Go to your manifest file within the android folder and add following

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

After that append in your strings.xml file (res/values/strings.xml) the string entry:

<string name="facebook_app_id">APP_ID</string>

Close your Metro Builder and rebuild your Project using react-native run-android

You don't need to use FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize anymore. Check if your:

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

is inside <application> tag.

After checking the documentation I found that they are asking to initialize FacebookSdk in Application class onCreate() Method.

Snap code from Facebook doc: 

  public class MyApplication extends Application {
 // Updated your class body:
 @Override
 public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    // Initialize the SDK before executing any other operations,
    FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
    AppEventsLogger.activateApp(this);
   }
 }

Use Initialise Callback Constructor like this:

    Handler mHandler = new Handler();
            FacebookSdk.InitializeCallback initializeCallback = new FacebookSdk.InitializeCallback() {
                @Override
                public void onInitialized() {

                    mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            //UI Code Here
                        }
                    });
                }
            };
    //before setContentView()   
 FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getActivity().getApplicationContext(),initializeCallback);

You have to use FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext()); before setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); as documentation states out. In case you need a complete facebook login example, check this one here.
