I followed the login authentication tutorial on Facebook and have copied the following code into my android application
private Session.StatusCallback callback =
new Session.StatusCallback()
public void call(Session session,
SessionState state, Exception exception) {
onSessionStateChange(session, state, exception);
However, it is giving me the following errors:
Session.StatusCallback cannot be resolved to a type
Which is leading to the following errors:
callback cannot be resolved to a variable
There's also other places where Facebook API calls are made that are giving me errors, but it's not in all the Facebook API calls. Another place I'm getting an error is the following:
Request request = Request.newMeRequest(session,
new Request.GraphUserCallback() {
public void onCompleted(GraphUser user, Response response) {
// If the response is successful
if (session == Session.getActiveSession()) {
if (user != null) {
// Set the id for the ProfilePictureView
// view that in turn displays the profile picture.
Log.d("MainActivity", "onComplete() User logged in");
parent.owner = MainKickback.userConnection.add(new User(user.getId()));
EventFragment e = (EventFragment) fragments[UPCOMING_EVENTS];
e.populateEvents();
if (response.getError() != null) {
// Handle errors, will do so later.
request.executeAsync();
where it does not recognize Request.GraphUserCallback, and then executeAsync(). I get the following errors:
Request.GraphUserCallback cannot be resolved to a type
The method executeAsync() is undefined for the type DownloadManager.Request
Does anyone have any advice as to how to fix this?
Thank you for your help in advance!!
I had the same problem as your first one, and I solved it by removing
import android.service.textservice.SpellCheckerService.S
and adding
import com.facebook.S
I had a similar issue, and the problem was that I had these two imports in the file
import android.app.DownloadManager.R
import android.service.textservice.SpellCheckerService.S
And those Request and Session modules were overriding
com.facebook.Session
com.facebook.Request
I actually just removed the two android imports and everything worked nicely.
They didn't seem to be used, but eclipse added them in for some strange reason.
Judging by your output
The method executeAsync() is undefined for the type DownloadManager.Request
I'd say it sounds like you have the same imports happening somewhere and they're overriding the facebook imports.

Got this issue when having both Request and Session classes from Volley framework already imported. Try using the class with the package name for Session and Request, it worked for me. See below's code.
private com.facebook.Session.StatusCallback callback =
new com.facebook.Session.StatusCallback()
public void call(com.facebook.Session session,
SessionState state, Exception exception) {
onSessionStateChange(session, state, exception);
For your first problem, which import do you use ? I use this for the Callback:
import com.facebook.Session.StatusC
Which Facebook SDK are you using ? The newest one ?
using latest sdk 4.01 butin this sdk is not support this pakage
I had a message: "Cannot resolve symbol Session". So, the problem was in non-plugged library "facebook". I resolved it so.
1. Open Project Structure (File > Project Structure).
2. Select Modules on the left pane.
3. Choose your project name.
4. Click Dependencies tab.
5. Click on the plus sign in the bottom. Select "Module dependency" and click "facebook".
6. Press OK, then OK.
Just delete the FB SDK and re-download it.
Your SDK is probably corrupted by others who pushed to git.

Stack Overflow works best with JavaScript enabledPsychologist: The Common Core Tests Cannot Be Independently Verified for Validity or Reliability | Diane Ravitch's blog
A site to discuss better education for all
A reader, Charlene Williams, who holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, sent the following comment in response to
used on one of the Common Core tests:
This speaks to one of the essential issues in the current high stakes testing debacle. Why the Pearson, PARCC, and Smarter Balanced testing is unscientific and unethical. I am a psychologist, faculty at UCLA, and a mother in California. I hadn’t heard about these concerns with the current high stakes testing, until after I became very concerned with the developmental level of the SB practice items when helping my daughter (dutifully prepare for the tests).
The 6th grade ELA practice performance task for the Smarter Balance was completely inappropriate for 11-12 year olds, requiring them to toggle between several screens (on small Ipad screens), and choose multiple pieces of evidence to evaluate, select, paraphrase, compare and contrast, as well as write a multiparagraph essay. Never mind that while practicing, toggling back to the articles caused the students’ written work on the essay to be erased (lost).
Why the current high stakes testing is unscientific:
1) There is no proven Construct Validity (does your test measure what you think it measures)
2) Cut scores are determined by an unknown (arbitrary) process- labeling children as proficient, or failing appears to not be based on any scientific process. It is not scientific to arbitrarily decide what levels of your test scores actually mean in the real world. Scientific measurement requires cross-validation with external measures that provide evidence for your claims (like grades, or independent in-depth measures of children’s educational achievement in a a smaller sample with highly experienced evaluators).
3) Computer adaptive tests- there have been many concerns raised about how item difficulty has been decided. Children continue to progress on these tests if they continue to get a certain number the most recent answers correct. Educational measurement specialists (true academically trained professionals) and parents and children have observed that very often items following very difficult questions are significantly easier. This raises concerns that children’s scores are artificially deflated by unscientifically determined item difficulty determinations.
4) Inter-rater reliability- No checks exist to independently determine whether the scoring administered by these testing companies has truly reliable and valid measurements of children’s answers (see Todd Farley
Most importantly, the Pearson, PARCC, and Smarter Balanced testing is unscientific because they violate the basic rule of science. The assessments are not verifiable, because they are not permitted to be subject to independent scientific evaluation. Their validity cannot be proven nor disproven. Under the guise of “test security” companies use copyright laws so extreme they prevent true scientific evaluation of the validity of these tests, by scientists with expertise in the fields of Education, Psychology, and related fields.
So I am deeply concerned that the profit-driven testing business is using unscientific (and expensive) testing which is portrayed to the public as if it’s truth, with high stakes ramifications on children, teachers, and our public education system. As stakeholders and parents, we need to demand accountability, real science, and an ethical separation between profit-driven educational businesses and the true scientifically-based education and measurement. For the sake of our children, our teachers, and our educational system which is truly one of the foundations of our democratic country.

Narcissists Can Be Identified By Their Facebook Accounts - Psychologists
Have a Facebook account?
Laura Buffardi, doctoral student in psychology, and associate professor W. Keith Campbell from the University of Georgia says it may tell them you are a narcissist.
Narcissism is not just attention-seeking or wanting to be liked. Clearly everyone who signs up for a social media site wants to interact with others. It is more severe and characterized by an inability to form healthy, long-term relationships.
The tremendous growth of social networking sites (Facebook now has 100 million users, for example) has led psychologists to explore how personality traits are expressed online. Buffardi and Campbell chose Facebook because it's the most popular networking site among college students and because it has a fixed format that makes it easier for researchers to compare user pages.
Not everyone who uses Facebook is a narcissist. "We found that people who are narcissistic use Facebook in a self-promoting way that can be identified by others," said Buffardi.
They gave personality questionnaires to nearly 130 Facebook users, analyzed the content of the pages and had untrained strangers view the pages and rate their impression of the owner's narcissism.
The researchers found that the number of Facebook friends and wallposts that individuals have on their profile pages correlates with narcissism. Buffardi said this is consistent with how narcissists behave in the real-world, with numerous yet shallow relationships. Narcissists are also more likely to choose glamorous, self-promoting pictures for their main profile photos, she said, while others are more likely to use snapshots.
Untrained observers were able to detect the narcissists also. Observers used three characteristics – quantity of social interaction, attractiveness of the individual and the degree of self promotion in the main photo – to form an impression of the individual's personality. "People aren't perfect in their assessments," Buffardi said, "but our results show they're somewhat accurate in their judgments."
Some researchers in the past have found that personal Web pages are more popular among narcissists, but Campbell said there's no evidence that Facebook users are more narcissistic than others.
"Nearly all of our students use Facebook, and it seems to be a normal part of people's social interactions," Campbell said. "It just turns out that narcissists are using Facebook the same way they use their other relationships – for self promotion with an emphasis on quantity of over quality."
Still, he points out that because narcissists tend to have more contacts on Facebook, any given Facebook user is likely to have an online friend population with a higher proportion of narcissists than in the real world. Right now it's too early to predict if or how the norms of online self-promotion will change, Campbell said, since the study of social networking sites is still in its infancy.
"We've undergone a social change in the last four or five years and now almost every student manages their relationships through Facebook – something that few older people do," Campbell said. "It's a completely new social world that we're just beginning to understand."
Their work appears in the October issue of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin,.

They researchers didn't say a lot of friends on facebook means you are a narcissist, it said narcissists have accounts on facebook and enough commonality they can be identified.

Marj, you are 100% correct. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a bona fide psychological condition, not a flippant way to describe, as Hank put it so eloquently, an attention whore. I was married to a Narcissist for 10 years and trust me, the "Facebook Diagnosis" is pure crap. Correlation, coincidence, similarity, these terms all apply.... but it is not a diagnostic tool. I hate it when people miss-use actual psychology as a "pop-trendy-pseudo-diagnostic tool". With that said, anything published in "Psychology Today" is suspect in my opinion as well. You will never catch me reading that garbage. It is NOT true psychology in the scientific sense. This is representative of the kind of alarmist-false-causation mumbo-jumbo they like to print.

Because narcissists can be identified by commonalities in their Facebook accounts does not mean you are a narcissist if you have Facebook or a lot of friends.
Narcissism is a clinical term - if you had it, you would not post under 'anonymous', for example.

I posted a link of this article on my facebook wall, and definitely think that I can identify some narcissists--I think really it just confirmed my suspicions though.
| 10/24/08 | 09:16 AM
I suppose it would be easy to tell a narcissist from a non-narcissist:
Someone with 547 pictures on his or her profile, all of him or herself, is clearly in love with thyself.
(My horse happens to have a facebook account, he has a few friends, mostly lonely fillies).
Anyway, I always wondered why one would need to keep in touch with aquaintences, coworkers,ex-lovers, your mechanic, or
people you saw at a parade. Who cares?
Nobody. Go home and get a life.
| 10/24/08 | 20:35 PM
Well, attention whore is not the same thing as clinical narcissism.
Clearly people are in social media because they want to interact and be involved with people - some moreso than others.
Facebook users aren't all narcissists, it's rather that narcissists all behave in an identifiable way on Facebook.I think your horse is more on the attention-whore part of the spectrum than the narcissism one.
Fillies need dates too.

Facebook is very much a social arena for kids/youth. This young generation is simply using the technical tools provided to them developing it according to their needs and interests. Calling all that narcissism is wrong, I'm sure. Making a living using social media and any kind of media is another angle to this question. Being famous is actually a profession in itself these days. Then it is not necessary narcissism, but a business idea! :-)I agree with Stephanie who says:Having a Facebook account with a lot of friends does not make a persona "narcissist." It makes a person a social person with access to acomputer.

There seems to be confusion among the commenters about what clinical narcissism means - no one says all 150 million Facebook subscribers are narcissists, they are saying that actual clinical narcissists can be identified.
That is not the usual attention whoring or wanting to be popular or having a place to put pics for family and friends.

Of course it depends upon the definition of narcissist, and not having read the full paper, I cannot say whether this is a particular cultural /colloquial definition or an accepted medical/scientific one.The nature of personality in itself being somewhat of a set of constructs of dubious ecological validity.You can suppose what you like from my usual internet Moniker, but being as I come from a background of media studies (the one that all "respectable" academics love to hate) and am an artist and a photographer who has worked in advertising you can suppose I know a thing or two about what information I want to get out and what semiotics I want to employ in that.That sounds to my folk psychological thinking as more indicative of a scheming rationalist machiavellian devoid of conscience than a narcissist to me, unless the two are synonymous nowadays.Well the problem is that the outer image does not always betray the inner mechanism, as indeed is the fault line of all behaviourist science.If I am famous for anything it is having a clinically diagnosed condition or two which includes an Autistic Spectrum "disorder" and an Anankastic personality (put that in your search engine and find it).& The Greeks have a lot to answer for, including Anarchism and Arthritis :)Given that as an academic (or indeed in almost any field of endeavour) one is prevailed upon to promote oneself, it being a strong societal prerogative to do so, else be seen as the perpetual victim and recipient of state intervention, it comes as very rich from these researchers to harvest the easy pickings of Facebook, and dress it up as scientific research.I am careful who I allow as my "friends" on Facebook, I have a criterion that I must at least know them and have had real exchanges (whether by correspondence or in person) before I admit them. At the inner core are the people who know me everyday and see the face beneath the clowns makeup. I am bang to rights dead common so who would not swap his one horse town for an internet kingdom eh?

I am the most narcissistic person in the world. Nobody is more narcissistic than I.It's "me" because you're the object of the verb in that second sentence.
A real narcissist would know that because they compulsively have perfect grammar.

Hank, for a moment I thought you were saying that you were the most narcissistic person in the world, when you said 'It's me' and demonstrated that you also write using perfect grammar!
