Add facebook SDK to IntelliJ Android project?

Question

How can I add the facebook sdk to my android project in IntelliJ? I'm familiar with how to add a library project to an existing project in Eclipse, but not in IntelliJ. Anyone know how?

Answer 1

The answer below is outdated, please refer to the actual solution.

If it's just a jar, you can add it to the module dependencies.

If you want to use Android Library with source code, you need to create a new Module in IDEA with Android Facet and specify in the facet settings that it's Android Library Project. Configure module content and source roots and then add this module as a dependency to your Android application module.

Here are the screenshots for the Facebook SDK Android Module configuration in IDEA:

Note that the root of the module is set to the facebook subdirectory from the GitHub repository and Is Library Project checkbox is enabled.

If you add this module as a dependency to your application, everything should build fine.

I've also uploaded a sample project that consists of simple sample provided with the SDK and this facebook API module as a dependency, you can download and use it for reference.

Remove if inappropriate - but this solution was much more relevant for the latest version of IDEA and the latest Facebook SDK: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14732898/1711200

Tested with IDEA 12.1.2 and Facebook SDK 3.0.1

My reason for posting this is because the directory structure for the latest Facebook SDK is different & makes this post outdated. I also kept getting directed to this thread, whereas the thread I've linked to is a better & more relevant solution.
