Facebook SDK's logInWithPublishPermissions stucks with everlasting spinner

I want to ask the user of my android app the permission to publish on facebook when a custom share button (it's just an ImageView) is pressed. On button's OnClick method I execute this block:

CallbackManager facebookCallbackManager;      ...  facebookCallbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create(); LoginManager.getInstance().registerCallback(facebookCallbackManager, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {             @Override             public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {                 shareContent(activity, content, true);             }             @Override             public void onCancel() { }              @Override             public void onError(FacebookException error) { }         }); LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithPublishPermissions(activity, Collections.singletonList("publish_actions")); 

And then I override:

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

The problem is that the request never comes: an everlasting spinner wheel is presented and no callback (nor success, nor cancel, nor error) is called.

a. The user is already logged in, according to:

public static boolean isLoggedIn() {    AccessToken accessToken = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();    return accessToken != null; } 

b. FacebookSdk.isInitialized() is true

c. Publish permissions are not granted, according to:

private static boolean hasPublishPermissions() {     AccessToken accessToken = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();     return accessToken != null && accessToken.getPermissions().contains("publish_actions"); } 

d. Other uses of FB SDK are used through the app and they are functioning.

e. I am an app admin on FB dashboard

Any idea on the problem?

Important PS:

Since Facebook's API is extremely stable, depending on the time of the day or the position of the stars, without changing code I have three possible outcomes:

1. As described before, an everlasting spinner wheel.
2. The callback fires the onCancel method without the user interaction.

3. It shares the content without asking for confirmation - this gave me a nice unwanted video posted on my personal FB, without me noticing :) -

   PS2: Even the classic LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithReadPermissionnow is having the same issue. It never had it before.

then you can share content without everlasting spinner

 LoginManager.getInstance().registerCallback(mCallbackManagerFacebook, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {         @Override         public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {             System.out.println("Success");             if (loginResult.getRecentlyGrantedPermissions().contains("publish_actions")) {                 new shareContent(activity, content, true);              }  else {                 //Toast.makeText(youractivity.this, "Successfully Connected to Facebook.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();                  GetFacebookPublishPermissions();              }         }          @Override         public void onCancel() {             //Log.d(TAG_CANCEL, "On cancel");             LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();         }          @Override         public void onError(FacebookException error) {             Toast.makeText(youractivity.this, "Looks like we are unable to connect to Facebook Servers.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();             LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();             // Log.d(TAG_ERROR, error.toString());         }     }); 

and getFacebookSharepermission

 public void GetFacebookPublishPermissions(){     if(LoginManager.getInstance()!=null)     {         LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithPublishPermissions(youractivity.this, Arrays.asList("publish_actions"));      } } 

Update

you can call this function like below

     final AccessToken token = com.facebook.AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();         if(token!=null)         {             if (token.getPermissions().contains("publish_actions")) {             new shareContent(activity, content, true);         }else{          LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithReadPermissions(this,           Arrays.asList("public_profile", "email", "user_birthday"));         }    }else{          LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithReadPermissions(this,           Arrays.asList("public_profile", "email", "user_birthday"));    }

I think there is mistake for callback manager. you declare and assign CallbackManager facebookCallbackManager; facebookCallbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create();

Here you can see there is cbManager instead of facebookCallbackManager so please double check for that.

                                                V LoginManager.getInstance().registerCallback(cbManager, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {         @Override         public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {             shareContent(activity, content, true);         }         @Override         public void onCancel() { }          @Override         public void onError(FacebookException error) { }     });
