1. The first step is to create a new react native project. If you don’t know how then read my this Getting started with react native tutorial. If you have already created the project then open your project folder in Command Prompt or Terminal like i did in below screenshot and execute below command to install the react-native-fbsdk NPM library.

Screenshot of CMD:


2. Next step is to execute the link command to index the newly installed react-native-fbsdk library in your project. This command would refresh the complete project and make all the necessary changes in all the files.

3. After linking the library we have to make sure that its make all the necessary changes in all files. So Goto Your_React_Native_Project -> android -> app -> build.gradle file. Open the build.gradle file in notepad or notepad++ editor and put both below dependencies in dependencies block.

Source code of my build.gradle file:

4. Open Your_React_Native_Project -> android -> settings.gradlePut below lines if not present.

5. Open Your_React_Native_Project -> android -> app -> src -> main -> java -> com -> Your_React_Native_Project -> MainApplication.java  .You need to import the both below packages in your file.

6. In your MainApplication class add a instance variable of type CallbackManager.

7. After importing above packages we need to call the FBSDKPackage(mCallbackManager) in getPackages() block after putting a comma.

Complete source code of my MainApplication.java class:

8. Goto Your_React_Native_Project -> android -> app -> src -> main -> java -> com -> Your_React_Native_Project -> MainActivity.java file. Import intent in it.

9. Now we need to override the onActivityResult() inbuilt method to provide our project to receive application events.
