Error: A valid Facebook app id must be set in the AndroidManifest.xml

Question

I follow this video. This app I run in a mobile devixe Xiaomi Redmi 4A. Install succesfully and show this error. I can't understand why? I can't use Facebook in this code.

Error:

Can you ask me any idea please? How to solution this?

Answer 1

Your AndroidManifest should contain this line <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>

Here is a partial AndroidManifest.xml containing it

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="__PACKAGE__"
      android:versionCode="10017"
      android:versionName="1.17">
...
    <application android:name="com.tns.NativeScriptApplication"
             android:allowBackup="true"
             android:icon="@drawable/icon"
             android:label="@string/app_name"
             android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        ...
        <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>
    </application>
</manifest>

And in your App_Resources/Android/src/main/res/values/strings.xml, set the facebook application ID starting with fb

<resources>
    ...
    <string name="facebook_app_id">fb{{ facebook_app_id }}</string>
</resources>
