Share on Facebook error message

When I click the share on facebook option, the following message appears: {error : {type : OAuthException, message : Error validating applicaiton. }} Any ideas of how to fix this issue? Thanks, Matt

If you're using Android you'll need to enter your Facebook API key in the strings.xml file. There are instructions on how to do this in the README.txt file that came with your project download. The iPhone version just works but the Android version needs your API info. a) Go to Facebook, create a Facebook App (super easy) b) Get it's Facebook API info, still easy c) Enter this info in the strings.xml file in the Ecplipse project. See the README.txt Anytime something is posted to Facebook from and Android app, the posting is associated with a Facebook app.

I followed the instructions above, do I need to run the Android source code file again for the changes in the strings.xml file to work?

Not sure what you mean about running the source-code again. You do need to compile it after any changes to the strings.xml file

Go to Facebook, create a Facebook App (super easy)... This is vague. What app am I creating on FB? Can someone please provide clear instructions on where to go/what to do to get this app API?

Go to Facebook and create an app. what app do you create is up to you. Creating an app, any app, only takes a few minutes. The idea is that Facebook wants anything posted to them from a third part (like an iPhone) to be posted in the name of somebody Not sure how to add more beyond this. Maybe google how to create a facebook app or Facebook app bascis or something like that?
