Implement Facebook login with UiLifecycleHelper

Question

I have MainActivityand a LoginActivity. I created a superclass FacebookActivityto save the object UiLifecycleHelperand all overriding methods:

Mainactivity

public class MainActivity extends FacebookActivity  {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
    }
}

LoginActivity (basically a screensaver with a facebook login button):

public class LoginActivity extends FacebookActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.login_activity);
    }

}

FacebookActivity to implement all UiLifecycle methods:

public class FacebookActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity {

    private UiLifecycleHelper uiHelper;
    private Session.StatusCallback statusCallback = new Session.StatusCallback() {
        @Override
        public void call(Session session, SessionState state,
                Exception exception) {
            onSessionStateChange(session, state, exception);
        }
    };

    public FacebookActivity() {
        Settings.addLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior.INCLUDE_ACCESS_TOKENS);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        uiHelper = new UiLifecycleHelper(this, statusCallback);
        uiHelper.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        // For scenarios where the main activity is launched and user
        // session is not null, the session state change notification
        // may not be triggered. Trigger it if it open/closed.
        Session session = Session.getActiveSession();
        if (session != null && (session.isOpened() || session.isClosed())) {
            onSessionStateChange(session, session.getState(), null);
        }
        uiHelper.onResume();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        uiHelper.onPause();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        uiHelper.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        uiHelper.onDestroy();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
        super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
        Session session = Session.getActiveSession();
        Session.saveSession(session, outState);
        uiHelper.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    }

    private void onSessionStateChange(Session session, SessionState state, Exception exception) {
        if (state.isOpened()) {
            Log.i(Consts.TAG, "Logged in...");
            setCookies();
            Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
            this.startActivity(intent);
        } else if (state.isClosed()) {
            Log.i(Consts.TAG, "Logged out...");
            Intent intent = new Intent(this, LoginActivity.class);
            this.startActivity(intent);
        }
    }
}

I thought it would be nice that all activity classes inherit from FacebookActivityin this way, I will have one code that handles all session management.

Unfortunately, this does not work very well, one example is when I exit through MainActivity. I get a loop:

• onSessionStateChange Event listener is starting as I cleared the session
• LoginActivity launched
• FacebookActivity.onCreate() called from LoginActivity.onCreate()
• onSessionStateChange called again and returns to 2

, Session.StatusCallback, , .

UiLifecycleHelper, , , Session. onCreate:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    Session session = Session.getActiveSession();
    if (session == null) {
        if (savedInstanceState != null) {
            session = Session.restoreSession(activity, null, callback, savedInstanceState);
        }
        if (session == null) {
            session = new Session(activity);
        }
        Session.setActiveSession(session);
    }

    [...]
}
