java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v4.content.LocalBroadcastManager facebook android app

Question

I know this question has been asked and I've tried using many other posts to help me through this but none have worked. I am working through this link to install a Facebook login onto an Android app: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/getting-started. I have imported the Facebook SDK and it works for the sample apps so I know thats ok. I DO NOT have any JARs in my libs folder. In properties > Android libraries I have added appcompat_v7 and FacebookSDK. In Built Path > Order and Export I have Android Dependencies and Android Private Libraries both checked.

The error

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v4.content.LocalBroadcastManager

happens on this line of code:

Session.openActiveSession(this, true, new Session.StatusCallback() {

Any ideas on why this is happening? I have been messing around with my properties all day and can't get it working. The code is right off of the FB developer site so I'm sure its fine. Thanks.

Full Activity:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

// start Facebook Login
Session.openActiveSession(this, true, new Session.StatusCallback() {

  @Override

@Override

  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
  Session.getActiveSession().onActivityResult(this, requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

}

EDIT

Just to give you guys a visual of what my settings look like:

Answer 1

As my experience, this error happens from build settings.

I suggest to do as follows.

Click button "Add jars..."

Select "android-support-v4.jar" from

Select tab "Order and Export" and check "android-support-v4.jar".

Clean the project and build.

After run project, then app will execute.

Good luck
