created FacebookActivity.java and facebookactivity.xml. this activity is designed to assist with context issues during facebook authorization for the initial authorization.

also modified TravelPostMain.java to fire an intent for this activity.

currently works. facebook authorized. saves the settings. only issue is you get a black screen aftwords. if you hit back all is good. 

TODO:
log the onComplete method in facebookactivity to see what is happening.
twitter authorization.
finish widget and posting to sites.
