Hi Andrew,  
Have you ever seen the following error before:
"Error:(115, 0) Cannot call getBootClasspath() before setTargetInfo() is called."
I followed all of your instructions but keep getting this error.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Andrew, After doing all the steps that you have shown, I am still having my app crashes when trying to show the FB log in button. Do you know how I can fix this?

Hello, I am creating an Android app and I have a button that will direct me to my facebook page (fan page, not profile). Right now the Facebbok page opens in the browser, but I want it to open through the Facebook application if it is installed on the phone. Is this tutorial the rigth one to follow if I want it to work or is there another way to do that?

I have tried to open my Youtube Channel through my application and it opens in the Youtube application on my phone so I want my Facebook page to work the same.

When I try to install Facebook.apk it lasts a lot of time and doesn't appear success nor error, just appears this: 

977 KB/s (40683138 bytes in 40.649s)
        pkg:

Do I have to wait more time? because I have let the computer for almost 3 hours, or I am doing something wrong? By the way when I do this in the emulator screen I can se Android like when it is starting but that's all

Hey Andrew, great tutorial. The FB SDK is insanely annoying in terms of complete documentation on how to use it.
