Is there any way to stay loged in when restarting the app about phonegap-facebook-plugin HOT 7 CLOSED

Glad it worked for you and I have a fix coming! Essentially just look in the plugin js code and in login first check if there is a session object in localStorage and if not then continue and get the session object and save a copy in localStorage.

Great, I can give it a shot.
Are you planing on checking it in?

oops, didn't mean to close the issue. I thought that "comment & close" button will close the window :)

It seems as though, in my case, session.expires equals 4001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (it's a token with offline permission) whereas new Date().valueOf() yields something like 1317933785247. Hence, the comparison fails and the session is never restored.

In other words: please reopen this one. ;)
(More research in progress...)

Also, the current code makes it impossible to determine whether the user gets login feedback at all.

For example; in an actual app we want users to only have to login once (ideally). We do this the first time by displaying a nice login button. However, in the current API there is no way to determine whether this button should be displayed (hence whether an access token is present in local storage).

A better alternative might be to automatically restore the session during the init function, automatically loggin the user in. Then, later, we might explicitly call getLoginStatus to determine whether the session is valid at all etcetera.

@dokterbob good point. looking into that now. for some reason I went down that path and then decided against it but I will have a second look.

This one seems a dup of #69 and ought to be reopened, probably: the new Date().valueOf() seems to be still occuring. I remember having fixed this one particular issue - but I guess I have lost the results of that. Will try again.
