As <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allfacebook.com\/2010\/05\/android-gets-facebook-graph-api-before-the-iphone\/\">AllFacebook<\/a> noted last week, this SDK is actually more advanced than the iPhone SDK because it features Facebook&#8217;s Graph API, which was <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2010\/04\/21\/hacking-the-graph-live-from-facebooks-f8-conference\/\">unveiled<\/a> at its f8 developer conference last month.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/blog\/post\/385\">post<\/a> on Facebook&#8217;s Developer blog, the SDK also uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication and the ability to publish stories to Facebook using Feed forms.<\/p>\n<p>I spoke with Facebook&#8217;s Steven Soneff about the SDK at Google I\/O last week, where Facebook was offering a developer preview.  Soneff said that there have been ways to integrate Facebook into Android applications before now, but that these have really been hacked together from the iPhone SDK, and weren&#8217;t officially supported by Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully this is a sign that Facebook is taking Android a bit more seriously.  Facebook&#8217;s iPhone SDK <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2009\/03\/14\/facebooks-dave-morin-on-the-search-for-a-more-social-web\/\">launched<\/a> over a year ago.  And the official Facebook application for Android has always felt inferior to the iPhone version \u2014 it has been improving, but it still has a ways to go.<br \/>\n[crunchbase url=&#8221;http:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/company\/facebook,http:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/product\/android&#8221; name=&#8221;Facebook,Android&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/GCuUylNdxk5HSjEP709uERpfecU\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/GCuUylNdxk5HSjEP709uERpfecU\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/GCuUylNdxk5HSjEP709uERpfecU\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/GCuUylNdxk5HSjEP709uERpfecU\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=f02YMVQYq8c:FOnVzWhNf1k:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=f02YMVQYq8c:FOnVzWhNf1k:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=f02YMVQYq8c:FOnVzWhNf1k:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=f02YMVQYq8c:FOnVzWhNf1k:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=f02YMVQYq8c:FOnVzWhNf1k:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Facebook is releasing its first official SDK for Android, offering developers on Google&#8217;s mobile OS an easy way to tie their Android native apps to Facebook Platform.
