Hi All
I want to create the facebook chat application like the following one
But I don't know how to do that because I am new to android development please any one help me how to do that
Are you wanting to create a standalone application for facebook chat or a chat application similar to facebook chat?
If you are wanting to create a standalone facebook chat application you will need to look into whether facebook have a chat api you can access.
If they do, start by writing a super simple android app that connects to facebook chat and retrieves some kind of data.
And go from there.
Hi athornz
I have using smack api for facebook chat but it doesn't connect to the facebook server .It always producing the error connection is not available
Have you added permission for internet access into your android manifest?
It's quite an easy one to miss and will mean you app can't get any internet access.

I find it frustrating that the facebook panel doesn't provide chat, opera doesn't support facebook chat via the website. I'm just curious to know what facebook chat programs you guys are using.
Palringo has support for Facebook chat.
Facebook doesn't provide a public API for Facebook chat quite yet. What people have done is reverse engineer something and are using it to enable Facebook chat functionality. I'm sure Sony Ericsson wasn't interested in all that work.
there is an app here to do so: FacebookIM
Thanks guys

I looked into it initially I didn't want to instal NET CF 3.5 but i went ahead and made the jump.
Facebook Chat for Xperia X1
i know this one is old, but just to keep it updated for searching users..
the software is now called FIM (Facebook Instant Messenger) and no longer requires updates to the .net framework that comes with the xperia (2.0)
free download of fim available at http://www.mosko.mobi
Palringo with Facebook support really is the best to me because you don't have to rely on a single app just for FB chat - it's built into a multi-protocol IM client which you would have a good reason to already have running in the background. Why run another program?
I am trying to make a chat application what integrates whatsapp and skype.Just trying out
What I'm confused about is that is there a possibility to make an app that receives and can also send messages in whatsapp and skype...without having installed them in the android phone itself...basically a chat application that uses whatsapp and skype to do so.I know I can build a chat application from scratch but this is just a question that came to my mind....
I mean Whatsapp+ accesses the chats from whatsapp...what can't other apps do it right?
Please help me with a tutorial or something...thanky :good:
Not possible with whatsapp or skype
ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO INTEGRATE WHATSAPP OR SKYPE IN YOUR OWN MESSAGING APP ,, SINCE WHATSAPP OR SKYPE DOESNOT PROVIDE ANY SDK OR API THAT CAN BE USED TO FETCH USER DATA FROM DEVICE TO ANOTHER APP..
You can integrate facebook in your app since it provides its own sdk that can be used in your any app.
For more info visit https://developers.facebook.com/
SINCE YOU ARE MAKING AN APP FOR CHATTING YOU CAN REFER THESE PROJECTS FOR LEARNING..

I HAVE ATTACHED ONE SIMPLE PROJECT FOR YOUR REFERENCE .........

How to send messages on Facebook without installing the messenger app in Android
Facebook, recently decided to undertake this fairly unpopular practice – while the former decoupled the check-in feature to a whole new app, called Swarm, the latter decided that its users shouldn't be able to chat from the main Facebook app anymore, but make use of the chat head-wielding Messenger instead. The latter has been allegedly gaining market share in favor of its messenger rivals, but isn't forcing it to users the main reason behind this?

Well, forced things are never highly looked upon and quite a lot of users have expressed their utter displeasure with Facebook for taking the messages away from the main app. If you're one of the distressed Facebook users, rejoice, as a workaround exists that will allow not Messenger, but your main Facebook app to handle your messages. Of course, you can always go to the mobile version of Facebook and access your messages from there, but a lot of users probably prefer to delve into one of the most popular social networks through the dedicated app.

We'll show you the ropes on how to do this, but you should have in mind that this method only works for some users. Facebook will surely find another way to force Messenger upon them in the foreseeable future, but for the time being, at least some of the users of the social network get to do things their way.
So here it goes with the method 1.)
A quick guide for those who want to use Facebook messages without downloading facebook messenger.
Step 1
Uninstall Facebook messenger (if you have it installed)
Step 2
Make sure you have Unknown sources enabled from device settings
Step 3
Install the attached apk (hello world application) or create a new (empty) android project with the package name com.facebook.orca
As long as the only validation that the facebook app does is checking to find if an app with package name com.facebook.orca is installed on the phone this should work
Thanks to @nemoc 23 For his guide
I'll attach the Messenger.apk in the attachment too.you can download from there too
Method 2.) [For Non-Rooted Device]
Make sure you have Facebook official app already installed in your smartphone (no need to root), and if the Facebook app is not allowing you to chat with your friends, then try to download the Facebook messenger initially from Google play store, here is the tricky part, before completing the download (100%) cancel the downloading of Facebook messenger (make sure it’s not installing) and yeah, you are ready to use the official Facebook app again to chat with your friends, give a try and tell us if it’s working for you or not!
Method 3).[For rooted device]
STEP 1: Download the official Facebook Messenger App from Play Store.
STEP 2: Download “TITANIUM BACKUP” or “DISABLE APPLICATION” App from Play Store
STEP 3: Open Titanium Backup and give it ROOT privileges. Scroll down to Messenger App
STEP 4: Select the Messenger App which will result in a dialog box to open up. Hit the “FREEZE” button which will freeze the application eventually.
STEP 5: Once the app is freezed it will be highlighted in blue tint color.
STEP 6: Now open the Facebook App and go to the Messages section of it.
STEP 7: Choose the person you want to chat with and you are good to go!
Enjoy the freedom until it lasts! Feel free to let us know if there are any other method and we will update this post with those methods too!

I'm trying to figure out a way for a user to login to their Instagram account and see their photo news feed on my app.
I know that Instagram has android intents and that there are libraries that can connect a social network to an app, but none of them give me the ability to see my news feed.
So is it possible?
If yes then how?
A thorough explanation, please.
