To all who are having problems running the Facebook sample on Android, please check to see if you are running an updated Facebook app on your device.
A user reported that installing the “Facebook for Android” app from the Android Market, breaks the Corona Facebook app. I confirmed the problem on my Nexus One (v2.2) that works well with our Facebook sample. When I downloaded and started the updated FB app, I can no longer log in to Facebook from our sample. It calls the normal FB logon screen showing an activity indicator and then the screen goes black. If I check the history of running apps (press and hold the Home button), it shows the FB app was last running.
It looks like the updated FB app takes over the FB callback function and gets called when the Corona FB logon is called. This even occurs when I “force quit” the FB app. This may indicate a bug outside of Corona (just my guess).
We also have a ATT HTC Sense that shows the same problem. When I check the list of Apps (under Manage applications), it shows “Facebook” and “Facebook for HTC Sense”, so the carrier has preloaded an updated FB app.
I’ll file this as a bug for Engineering to see if there is a resolution.
