Warenix, First, it was not me who asked the question, I answered to Bob's post.
Second, it's very poor practice to make one application depend on another. Once again, an application should be developed on a stand- alone way; its correct execution should not depend whether a user installed some other application from the market or not. Maybe someone would choose this approach for pure marketing reasons. Technically it's not required and practically is not desirable. Last but not least; Facebook provides an Android SDK which is very, very helpful. However, using this SDK definitely does not depend on whether or not you've installed the official Facebook application. I've not checked the latest version, maybe they let the SDK interact with the official application (pure marketing reasons) but interacting with the Facebook Graph API does not depend whether or not you've installed the official Facebook application on your device. -Ali On May 30, 11:20 am, warenix <ware...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Ali, > > Quoted fromhttps://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk > > Testing > > Here are some tips to help test your application: > > - > > You will need to have the Facebook application in your test environment. > The SDK includes a developer release of the Facebook application that can > be > side-loaded for testing purposes.
