POHandling a facebook-object through multiple activities

Body
copied!<p>Currently I'm writing an adapter class to provide a convenient way for communication with the facebook API.<br> The way I thought about using it is to run the authentication when the app is starting up, <s>downloading user's private picture</s>, and later in the app publishing updates on users facebook wall using an <code>AsyncFacebookRunner</code>.</p> <p>However flipping through the <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/androidsdk/authentication/" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> it seems for every <code>authorize()</code> implementation the first parameter have to be an activity.</p> <blockquote> <p>void authorize(Activity activity, final DialogListener listener):</p> </blockquote> <p>And here I begin to wonder.</p> <p>Thinking about activities and life cycles what will happen when the activity I threw in will be destroyed? Wouldn't the reference for this object <code>Facebook.mAuthActivity</code> become invalid as well.<br> I see the <code>logout()</code> method "only" asks for a context.</p> <blockquote> <p>String logout(Context context) throws ...:<br> context - The Android context in which the logout should be called: it should be the same context in which the login occurred in order to clear any stored cookies</p> </blockquote> <p>From what I see I can not guarantee the "login-activity" will still be present as app's uptime increases - actually the opposite is more likely.</p> <p>Are there any special situations I should consider to prevent the app form total crashing in a later state?</p>
