I have also tried with compile('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.22.1') but it doesnt work.
I see that it is trying to get a resource from version 25.3.1, but why? And how do I fix this problem? Any suggestions regarding this?
Thanks
UPDATE
After the suggestion in the comments, here is my android/build.gradle file:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.1'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
jcenter()
maven {
// All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
}
}
}

UPDATE 2
So, after some suggestions given in the comments below, here is my android/app/build.gradle:
https://pastebin.com/q5qfHAug
and my android/build.gradle:
https://pastebin.com/GmckcqLb
and I am getting errors:

Answer 1

Make sure you've followed all of the steps in the Getting Started guide. Specifically, go to the "Getting Started with Native Code" tab and ensure you not only have all of the dependencies installed, but that you also have your environment variables set up correctly, i.e.:
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
EDIT:
It looks like you may be missing a few imports, specifically:
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Arrays;
import com.facebook.react.ReactPackage;
import com.facebook.react.shell.MainReactPackage;
I'm also not sure where MainReactPackage is coming from on line 29 of your MainActivity, but I assume it's a custom ReactPackage in your application, and you would need to import that as well.
In addition, you seem to be mixing code from what should be in your MainApplication.java file. The gitPackages() function you have defined should be moved there, as that function is defined in ReactApplication rather than ReactActivity.
EDIT 2:
Here is an example of what your MainActivity should look like:
package com.myapp;
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
/**
* Returns the name of the main component registered from JavaScript.
* This is used to schedule rendering of the component.
*/
#Override
protected String getMainComponentName() {
return "myapp";
}
}
And this is what your MainApplication might look like:
package com.myapp;
import android.app.Application;
import android.util.Log;
import com.facebook.react.ReactApplication;
import com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager;
import com.facebook.react.ReactNativeHost;
import com.facebook.react.ReactPackage;
import com.facebook.react.shell.MainReactPackage;
import com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader;
import com.facebook.CallbackManager;
import com.facebook.FacebookSdk;
import com.facebook.reactnative.androidsdk.FBSDKPackage;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
CallbackManager mCallbackManager;
private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
#Override
public boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
}
#Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
new FBSDKPackage(mCallbackManager)
);
}
};
#Override
public ReactNativeHost getReactNativeHost() {
return mReactNativeHost;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
SoLoader.init(this, /* native exopackage */ false);
}
}
