Why is my screen completely white with 'Success' in the top left after logging into Facebook on a tablet?

Question

This issue is being tracked on the facebook-actionscript-api site here: http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/issues/detail?id=352&q=label%3APriority-Medium

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Call FacebookMobile.login(APP_ID, cbLogin) on an Android tablet.
2. Enter Facebook account credentials and press "Login".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

-Expected: The login window closes and returns to the screen that launched the login window. The callback function 'cbLogin' is called.

-Actual: The screen goes completely white, and has 'Success' in small black text in the >top left corner of the screen. The callback function 'cbLogin' is never called.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

-Android v3.2
-facebook-actionscript-ap v1.7
-ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101

I've tested this on 2 Android phones, the HTC Incredible (Android v2.2) and the HTC Thunderbolt (Android v2.2.1), and it works fine on both. Any ideas?

It sounds like the redirect_uri parameter may not be set to the desired destination page. Note that at some point in the past the parameter was named next, so the library you are using may need to be updated accordingly to support the newer OAuth 2.0 flow. You can find more details about this on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/

What is the URL of the page that displays the word "Success"? (Don't include private query parameters.) It sounds like it might be https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html Check to see whether that URL is referenced in the code you are using.
