Android : Failed to find provider info for com.facebook.wakizashi.provider.PlatformProvider


I am stuck for days now. I am using the PhotoShareDialogBuilder in facebook. I used the content provider something like this :

<provider android:authorities="com.facebook.app.NativeAppCallContentProvider*****************"
                  android:name="com.facebook.NativeAppCallContentProvider"
                  android:exported="true"/>

But, it gives me the error whenever the code gets executed. Someone please help me out. I don't want to use any other api like simple facebook etc. The error i receive in the logcat is : 09-06 13:56:14.575: E/ActivityThread(4202): Failed to find provider info for com.facebook.wakizashi.provider.PlatformProvider.

My code :

 boolean canPresentShareDialogWithPhotos = FacebookDialog.canPresentShareDialog(this,
                        FacebookDialog.ShareDialogFeature.PHOTOS);


                if (canPresentShareDialogWithPhotos) {
                    FacebookDialog shareDialog = createShareDialogBuilderForPhoto(image).build();
                    uiHelper.trackPendingDialogCall(shareDialog.present());
                }  

private FacebookDialog.PhotoShareDialogBuilder createShareDialogBuilderForPhoto(Bitmap... photos) {
    return new FacebookDialog.PhotoShareDialogBuilder(this)
            .addPhotos(image);
}

Solution

  • I noticed that these logcat errors:

    ...
    E/ActivityThread﹕ Failed to find provider info for com.facebook.katana.provider.PlatformProvider
    E/ActivityThread﹕ Failed to find provider info for com.facebook.wakizashi.provider.PlatformProvider
    ...
    

    appear only if you do not have the Facebook APK installed on your emulator. After you install the FB APP app like this:

    Macintosh:platform-tools admin$ ./adb install ~/Downloads/Facebook-[Version Number].apk 
    758 KB/s (40857788 bytes in 52.574s)
            pkg: /data/local/tmp/Facebook-32.0.0.23.15.apk
    Success
    

    These type of errors should disappear.

    Good luck !
