        fLogin.onActivityResult(requestCode, responseCode, intent);

FAQ

Q: What is the problem of above approach ?

A: Your activity has a lot of scattered code for Facebook login. It will be more complex and unmanageable when you will have another social network login, like Facebook and Twitter.

Q: How I will receive a response for login success?

A: You need to implement interface "FacebookLoginStatus", on successful login you will receive callback "OnSuccessFacebookLogin"

Q: What will be received on login success ?

A: You will have Name, Email , First Name, Last Name, User Id.

Q: Do I need to handle login failure/error ?

A: No, FacebookLoginUtils.java will handle login failure, error and display appropriate message on screen.
