Here is my login Code

public void login(final Activity activity, final IFBCallbacks callback) {
        if (isLoggedin()) {
            if (callback != null)
                callback.onLoggedIn();

            actionsAfterLoggedIn(activity, callback);
            Log.i(TAG, "Already Logged in");
            return;
        }
        if (!isLoggedin()) {
            Log.i(TAG, "login() NOT LOGGED IN");
            logout(activity, null);
        }
        Log.i(TAG, "NOT LOGGED IN");
        _session = new Session.Builder(activity).build();
        Session.setActiveSession(_session);
        Session.OpenRequest request = new Session.OpenRequest(activity);
        // Note that you cannot set email AND publish_actions in the same
        // request
        request.setPermissions(getNeededPermisiions());
        // request.setLoginBehavior(SessionLoginBehavior.SUPPRESS_SSO);
        StatusCallback scallback = new StatusCallback() {

            @Override
            public void call(Session session, SessionState state,
                    Exception exception) {
                if (state.isOpened() && hasPermissions(getNeededPermisiions())) {
                    Log.i(TAG, "Succesfully logged in to facebook");
                    if (callback != null)
                        callback.onLoggedIn();

                    actionsAfterLoggedIn(activity, callback);
                    session.getAccessToken();
                    FBUtils.saveAccesToken(activity, session.getAccessToken(),
                            session.getExpirationDate());
                    return;
                }

                // Grant permissions
                if (!session.getPermissions().containsAll(
                        getNeededPermisiions())
                        && session.isOpened()) {
                    Log.i(TAG, "Not all needed Permissions granted");
                    // session.requestNewPublishPermissions(new
                    // Session.NewPermissionsRequest(
                    // activity, getNeededPermisiions()));
                    return;
                }

                // EVERYTHING ELSE
                if (!state.isOpened() && exception != null) {
                    Log.e(TAG, "Unable to login in");
                    exception.printStackTrace();
                    if (callback != null)
                        callback.onError(exception);
                }
            }
        };

        _session.addCallback(scallback);
        _session.openForPublish(request);
    }

I think i need the Install request but I can not find any solution how to fix it. Could anybody give me a few hint?

Answer 1

You need to separate "read" and "publish" permissions, and before you can request a publish permission, you need to get at least "basic_info" first, which is a read permission.

If you're ONLY doing a openForPublish without having any read permissions, then you will get this error.
