here is my AppManifest.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

    <activity
        android:name=".helloActivity"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_hello" >
    </activity>

    <activity android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
        android:configChanges=
            "keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"
        android:label="@string/app_name" />
    <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/app_id"/>
</application>

I specified the App_id in Strings.xml. Thanks for help

This is due to non-initialization of FacebookSdk before its usage. Just add below line:

FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(mContext);

in case host of LoginButton is:
1.Activity- before setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
2.Fragment- before inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false)

Also don't forget to listen the callback in onActivityResult() in above cases to update the UI of LoginButton.
