Android: Facebook get "User Access Token", on successful login

Question

I have been doing some login project via Facebook latest SDK i.e. 3.0. I'm getting a hard time in getting user access token. I have searched on the internet and all, maximum results were using the old SDK. Here is some bits of code which I have taken from Facebook Android SDK Tutorial:

public class LoginActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

Button login;
TextView accessToken;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);

    login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login);
    accessToken = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.accessToken);

    login.setOnClickListener(this);

}

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    Session.getActiveSession().onActivityResult(this, requestCode,
            resultCode, data);
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    // start Facebook Login
    Session.openActiveSession(this, true, new Session.StatusCallback() {

        // callback when session changes state
        @Override
        public void call(Session session, SessionState state,
                Exception exception) {
            if (session.isOpened()) {

                // make request to the /me API
                Request.executeMeRequestAsync(session,
                        new Request.GraphUserCallback() {

                            // callback after Graph API response with user
                            // object
                            @Override
                            public void onCompleted(GraphUser user,
                                    Response response) {
                                if (user != null) {
                                    TextView welcome = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.welcome);
                                    welcome.setText("Hello "
                                            + user.getName() + "!");
                                }
                            }
                        });
            }
        }
    });

}

}

Login was successful and I can see Username in the app, as suggested by the Facbeook tutorial.

I have tried old methods, but those all are now deprecated. Please guide me in getting User Access Token. Help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

In the method onResume() add the following code (in this case i used Toast.makeText to see the token access after login):

    Session session = Session.getActiveSession();
    if (session.isOpened()) {
        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), session.getAccessToken(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

I used getActivity because it is in a Fragment in my case, if you have your login button in an Activity use "this" instead of "getActivity()"

When you look at the session, it seems as if the token would have been removed, as it displays `token:{ACCESS_TOKEN REMOVED}`, but `session.getAccessToken()` correctly retrieves the token. – Oliver Hausler Feb 16 '15 at 18:28

Note: Session class is removed in new Facebook sdk

After Facebook SDK version 4.X, you should use following:

AccessToken token = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
if (token != null) {
    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), token, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

Change log reference is here.

Migrate reference from Sdk 3.x to 4.x

@youness you are right. The answer above needs to be updated. I posted an updated answer to this question below. – Marcelo Gumiero Feb 13 '17 at 13:57

I'm new in Android ..
I'm using the above code for getting the token only.

For Facebook SDK 4.21.0
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.21.0'

FacebookSdk.setIsDebugEnabled(true);              
FacebookSdk.addLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior.INCLUDE_ACCESS_TOKENS);

AccessToken token = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
Log.d("access only Token is", String.valueOf(token.getToken()));
String facebook_id_token = String.valueOf(token.getToken());

To get the accessToken for facebook-sdk 4.* or above. Add this lines after facebookSDKInitialize()

FacebookSdk.setIsDebugEnabled(true);
FacebookSdk.addLoggingBehavior(LoggingBehavior.INCLUDE_ACCESS_TOKEN);

After that use these lines of codes,

AccessToken token = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
Log.d("Access Token is",token);

Sample:

 GraphRequestAsyncTask graphRequestAsyncTask = new GraphRequest(
    login_result.getAccessToken(),
    //AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(),
    "/me/friends",
    bundle,
    HttpMethod.GET,
    new GraphRequest.Callback() {
    public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
    try {
    JSONArray rawName = response.getJSONObject().getJSONArray("data");
    Log.d("rawName friendList",String.valueOf(rawName));
    AccessToken token = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
    Log.d("access token is: ",String.valueOf(token));
    } catch (JSONException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    }
    }
).executeAsync();

Code below is updated:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    callbackManager.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    /** This block obtains Facebook UserID and Token */
    AccessToken token = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
    if (token != null) {
        Toast.makeText(this, token.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        Log.e(TAG, "Token: " + token.getToken());
        Log.e(TAG, "UserID: " + token.getUserId());
    }

I successfully managed to integrate the Facebook sdk in my my with the help of following code:

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
    Facebook fb;
    Button button;
    SharedPreferences sp;
    //TextView welcome;

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

        String APP_ID = getString(R.string.APP_ID);
        fb=new Facebook(APP_ID);

        sp=getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE);
        String access_token=sp.getString("access token",null);
        long expires=sp.getLong("access expires",0);

        if(access_token!=null){
            fb.setAccessToken(access_token);
        }
        if(expires!=0){
            fb.setAccessExpires(expires);
        }



        button=(Button)findViewById(R.id.login);
        //pic=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.picture_pic);
        button.setOnClickListener(this);
        updateButtonImage();
    }

    private void updateButtonImage() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if(fb.isSessionValid()){
            try{
                //post.setVisibility(Button.VISIBLE);
                button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.logout_button);
                /*pic.setVisibility(ImageView.VISIBLE);

                JSONObject obj=null;
                URL img_url = null;
                String jsonuser=fb.request("me");
                obj=Util.parseJson(jsonuser);

                String id = obj.optString("id");
                String name = obj.optString("name");
                welcome.setText("Welcome  "+name);

I hope, you will get some help with this.

I just need to get access token, when login is complete. Can you help me with that. I think you have used the old FB SDK. Or you have implemented using the new FB SDK i.e. FacebookSDK-3.0? — Anupam, Feb 21 '13 at 08:51
I used facebook SDK 3.0. Here is the link in which methods are described how to get Access Token. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/android/3.0/AccessToken — Rohit, Feb 21 '13 at 10:41
Rohit, you'll probably see that your code fails to get the access token when a user 1) installs your app and grants FB access, then 2) uninstalls your app, then 3) reinstalls your app. — Someone Somewhere, Aug 08 '13 at 19:58
