Error inflating class com.facebook.login.widget.LoginButton with Android Studio and Facebook 4.6.0

Question

In my build.gradle I'm importing Facebook:

compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.6.0'

In my Application class I'm initializing the Facebook SDK:

FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());

In my AndroidManifest.xml:

         <activity
        android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" />

    <receiver android:name="com.greenrobot.pirates.HelloFacebookBroadcastReceiver" />

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId"
        android:value="@string/fb_app_id" />

This works with Genymotion. On my device I get an error that it can't inflate the class.

edit:

The xml file with the login button is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

 <com.facebook.login.widget.LoginButton
     xmlns:facebook="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/login_button"
    android:layout_width="400dp"
    android:layout_height="500dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
    android:src="@drawable/login_button" />


     </LinearLayout>

It turns out I had multidex enabled and it was working on 5.x (emulator) but not 4.x (my device). Once I added the multidex support library it started working properly.

I'm having the same problem as yours, could you paste how you gradle file looks like? I enabled multidex with such property: "multiDexEnabled true".. For me it also works good with android 5.x but not with 4.3 – Felipe Mosso Sep 30 '15 at 00:01
The same issue for me. I would like do see your build.gradle. Thanks. – Diego Stiehl Oct 03 '15 at 04:03
Well. I added `compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'`, but it's still not working. – Diego Stiehl Oct 03 '15 at 04:14

Did you add MultiDex.install(this); in your application class? – Andy Oct 04 '15 at 13:26
Wow. Great. I haven't. That's working now. Thanks @Andy. – Diego Stiehl Oct 05 '15 at 03:42

Excellent! You should edit your answer to add the entire solution. For me it was adding multiDexEnabled true, adding the compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' and adding the MultiDex.install(this); – JoeGalind Nov 11 '15 at 23:14

In activity we have to add FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext()); before the setContentView(R.layout.YOUR_LAYOUT)

It looks like you forget add android:name attribute to the app tag in the manifest file.

  <application
    android:name="{your_app_class}"
