take a look at this: `ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.facebook.widget.LoginButton" on path: ` — donfuxx, Mar 11 '14 at 22:20
This deserves a "Hello world" example as an answer... How about you show your code? — Jack M., Mar 11 '14 at 22:21

From the log, it seems LoginButton class is not available which is supposed to be under package com.facebook.widget:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.facebook.widget.LoginButton" on path: /data/app/com.example.my_autrui-1.apk

Are you using a third party library? You need to add that as a dependency and make sure that while exporting the library is packaged as well.

For adding dependency on a third party, right click on the project and select Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries Tab. To check if the libraries are getting exported, in the same window check Order and Export tab. Make sure the Android Private Libraries are added and selected to be exported.

Actually I just removed the Facebook button code and the application started to work. But never the less, thank you very much. — Massa, Mar 14 '14 at 22:05

The problem is the package name of the button.

Check the comments here:
