Answer 2

I am also having issues with this error and have noted that if I run eclipse as root then the error disappears. This makes me think it is a permissions issue

So to help:

On the com Facebook android project right click > android tool > build and export

Then simply build the project into the bin folder of the Facebook project.

Problem solved

Answer 3

Probably you added the reference to the Java project in the "Java Build Path" but it's the wrong place.

From the Android guide:

To add a reference to a library project, follow these steps:

• In the Package Explorer, right-click the dependent project and select Properties.
• In the Properties window, select the "Android" properties group at left and locate the Library properties at right.
• Click Add to open the Project Selection dialog.
• From the list of available library projects, select a project and click OK.
• When the dialog closes, click Apply in the Properties window.
• Click OK to close the Properties window

This resolved my problem.

Answer 4

If nothing works, try deleting the Facebook application for Android (if you have one installed on your phone). This worked for me.

Answer 5

In my case helped, not to have in the referenced projects checked Is Library

(Project Properties > Android)

Answer 6

I had a similar problem. This was my resolution. I had to add android.jar as a reference.
