Facebook SDK's logInWithPublishPermissions stucks with everlasting spinner – Facebook api

I want to ask the user of my android app the permission to publish on facebook when a custom share button (it’s just an ImageView) is pressed. On button’s OnClick method I execute this block:

CallbackManager facebookCallbackManager;    

...

facebookCallbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create();
LoginManager.getInstance().registerCallback(facebookCallbackManager, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {
                shareContent(activity, content, true);
            }
            @Override
            public void onCancel() { }

            @Override
            public void onError(FacebookException error) { }
        });
LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithPublishPermissions(activity, Collections.singletonList("publish_actions"));

And then I override:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); 
    facebookCallbackManager.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

The problem is that the request never comes: an everlasting spinner wheel is presented and no callback (nor success, nor cancel, nor error) is called.

a. The user is already logged in, according to:

public static boolean isLoggedIn() {
   AccessToken accessToken = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
   return accessToken != null;
}

b. FacebookSdk.isInitialized() is true

c. Publish permissions are not granted, according to:

private static boolean hasPublishPermissions() {
    AccessToken accessToken = AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
    return accessToken != null && accessToken.getPermissions().contains("publish_actions");
}

d. Other uses of FB SDK are used through the app and they are functioning.

e. I am an app admin on FB dashboard

Any idea on the problem?

Important PS:

Since Facebook’s API is extremely stable, depending on the time of the day or the position of the stars, without changing code I have three possible outcomes:

  1. As described before, an everlasting spinner wheel.

  2. The callback fires the onCancel method without the user interaction.

  3. It shares the content without asking for confirmation – this gave me a nice unwanted video posted on my personal FB, without me noticing 🙂 –

    PS2:
    Even the classic LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithReadPermissionnow is having the same issue. It never had it before.

    I think there is mistake for callback manager.
    you declare and assign CallbackManager facebookCallbackManager;
    facebookCallbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create();

    Here you can see there is cbManager instead of facebookCallbackManager
    so please double check for that.

                                                    V
LoginManager.getInstance().registerCallback(cbManager, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {
            shareContent(activity, content, true);
        }
        @Override
        public void onCancel() { }

        @Override
        public void onError(FacebookException error) { }
    });

    then you can share content without everlasting spinner

     LoginManager.getInstance().registerCallback(mCallbackManagerFacebook, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {
            System.out.println("Success");
            if (loginResult.getRecentlyGrantedPermissions().contains("publish_actions")) {
                new shareContent(activity, content, true);

            }  else {
                //Toast.makeText(youractivity.this, "Successfully Connected to Facebook.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                GetFacebookPublishPermissions();

            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onCancel() {
            //Log.d(TAG_CANCEL, "On cancel");
            LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();
        }

        @Override
        public void onError(FacebookException error) {
            Toast.makeText(youractivity.this, "Looks like we are unable to connect to Facebook Servers.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            LoginManager.getInstance().logOut();
            // Log.d(TAG_ERROR, error.toString());
        }
    });

    and getFacebookSharepermission

     public void GetFacebookPublishPermissions(){
    if(LoginManager.getInstance()!=null)
    {
        LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithPublishPermissions(youractivity.this, Arrays.asList("publish_actions"));

    }
}

    Update

    you can call this function like below

          AccessToken token = com.facebook.AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
        if(token!=null)
        {
            if (token.getPermissions().contains("publish_actions")) {
            new shareContent(activity, content, true);
        }else{
        GetFacebookPublishPermissions();
        }
   }else{
         LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithReadPermissions(this, 
         Arrays.asList("public_profile", "email", "user_birthday"));
   }
