Facebook login button and google services error on Android

Question

I have made all the prerequirments for integrating facebook SDK with my app, like described here . I have followed the documentation, but I am getting an error when I am adding the com.facebook.widget.LoginButton (the login button) to my layout.

The fasebook SDK is linked to my app, this I know from successfully importing LoginButton in the activity class.

More details about the error. Here is the code of the layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:background="#FFFFFF" >

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/LoginActivity_email_EditText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="80dp"
        android:ems="10"
        android:hint="@string/email"
        android:inputType="textEmailAddress" >

        <requestFocus android:layout_width="match_parent" />
    </EditText>

    <EditText

        android:inputType="textPassword" />

    <LinearLayout

        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true" >

        <Button

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="3"
            android:text="@string/login" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/LoginActivity_sign_up_Button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="@string/sign_up" />
    </LinearLayout>



    <Button
        android:id="@+id/LoginActivity_forgot_password_Button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/LoginActivity_password_EditText"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="19dp"
        android:background="#FFFFFF"
        android:text="@string/forgot_password" />

    <com.facebook.widget.LoginButton
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/LoginActivity_forgot_password_Button"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

I can't see the result in the Graphical Layout tab. There are no errors under the problem view, and when I run the app I get this log:

Did I miss something?

Update: I am using also google services, when removing it the view in the Graphical Layout is seems to be ok, but there are many other errors because I removed the google services from my build path.

How can I make facebook SDK and google services live nice together?

Answer 1

As mentioned in the update, there is a conflict with the facbook and google services. I have removed the android-support-v4.jar from the libs folder in my project, then I cleared the project. This solved my problem.You may also will need to remove google services library (project right click -> Android, under library) and then add it again.
