How can I count the amount of Facebook friends in iOS sdk?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to get a random userID from my friends.

is there a way to do it with "friendPickerController" ? the only "count" method I've found is in the selection, which dosen't help.

You can get the total friend count using following method

FBRequest* friendsRequest = [FBRequest requestForMyFriends];
[friendsRequest startWithCompletionHandler: ^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
                                  NSDictionary* result,
                                  NSError *error) {
    NSArray* friends = [result objectForKey:@"data"];


    NSLOG(@"Total Friend :%@",friends.count);
}];
