I am using this method to perform a Facebook login without using the fb button Facebook authentication without login button
It's working fine, but a progress bar with black background is shown during fb login, I guess from activity com.facebook.LoginActivity
How can I avoid displaying that activity?, I just want to show my own progress from my app activity during login in com.facebook.LoginActivity
I had the same problem with facebook sdk 4.x. When I click the facebook login button the Facebook Activity appears translucent but it shows a progress bar. Luckily we can disable this progress bar in the theme. So the Facebook Activity is declared as
<activity
android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" />
All we have to do is create a style that inherits from Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar and hides the progress bar:
<style name="FullyTranslucent" parent="android:Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:progressBarStyle">@style/InvisibleProgress</item>
</style>
<style name="InvisibleProgress">
<item name="android:visibility">gone</item>
</style>
Now set the theme of the activity to our new theme:
<activity
android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/FullyTranslucent" />
Voila! The ProgressBar before login is gone.
To further @VM4's excellent answer I modified their approach for it to work correctly with SDK version 4.12.0
Firstly I added the following to AndroidManifest.xml
<activity xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/Translucent"
tools:replace="android:theme"/>
In Android Studio 2.2, it is likely that Manifest Merging may produce an error complaining that the android:theme cannot be overridden as it already exists. This can be resolved using tools:replace="android:theme" in the <activity> tag.
I created a custom style within /res/values/styles.xml
<style name="Translucent" parent="Translucent.Base"/>
<style name="Translucent.Base" parent="android:Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:progressBarStyle">@style/InvisibleProgress</item>
</style>
This correctly removed the hideous Facebook progress dialog.
However, on 5.0 (API 21)+ devices this did have the side effect of coloring the top most system bar black for the time the FacebookActivity was active.
To fix this I added a style in res/values-v21/styles.xml
<style name="Translucent" parent="Translucent.Base">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
This made the theme completely transparent and removed the progress dialog.
Finally, one thing to note with solutions that recommend using @android:style/Theme.NoDisplay is that this will not work on Android Marshmallow 6.0 (API 23)+ and should probably be avoided in future.
Simple solution just show progressbar in registercallback
See my code
fb_login.registerCallback(callbackManager, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {
progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
// App code
GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newMeRequest(
loginResult.getAccessToken(),
new GraphRequest.GraphJSONObjectCallback() {
@Override
public void onCompleted(
JSONObject object,
GraphResponse response) {
// Application code
Log.v("Profile --------- ", response.toString());
progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
try {
if (object!=null){
F_ID = object.getString("id");
if (object.has("first_name"))
Name = object.getString("name");
Log.d(TAG, "onCompleted: Name - "+object.getString("name"));
if (object.has("last_name"))
LastName = object.optString("last_name");
Log.d(TAG, "onCompleted: LastName - "+object.optString("last_name"));
if (object.has("email"))
Email = object.optString("email");
if (object.has("birthday"))
DOB = object.optString("birthday");
ProfilePic = "https://graph.facebook.com/" + F_ID + "/picture?type=large";
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Login Successful!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("Name", object.getString("name"));
intent.putExtra("Email", Email);
intent.putExtra("DOB", DOB);
intent.putExtra("ID", F_ID);
intent.putExtra("ImgURL", ProfilePic);
Log.d(TAG, "onCompleted: Email = "+Email+" Name = "+Name+" FID = "+F_ID);
//sharedpreference is used to store the email, password and the useername
SharedPreferenceManager.setDefaults("email", Email, SigninActivity.this);
SharedPreferenceManager.setDefaults("facebook_id", F_ID, SigninActivity.this);
SharedPreferenceManager.setDefaults("profile_pic", "https://graph.facebook.com/" + F_ID + "/picture?type=large", SigninActivity.this);
if (object.has("name"))
SharedPreferenceManager.setDefaults("username", Name, SigninActivity.this);
Log.d(TAG, "onCompleted: Store shared data");
startActivity(intent);
}else
Log.d(TAG, "onCompleted: object is null "+object);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("fields", "id,name,email,gender, birthday");
request.setParameters(parameters);
request.executeAsync();
System.out.println("Facebook Login Successful!");
System.out.println("Logged in user Details : ");
System.out.println("--------------------------");
System.out.println("User ID : " + loginResult.getAccessToken().getUserId());
System.out.println("Authentication Token : " + loginResult.getAccessToken().getToken());
}
@Override
public void onCancel() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Login cancelled by user!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
System.out.println("Facebook Login Cancel!!");
}
@Override
public void onError(FacebookException e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Something went wrong!!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
System.out.println("Facebook Login failed!! because of " + e.getCause().toString());
}
});
