I am requesting to get user friends from an Android App that I am developing. As from Facebook Api V2.0 I know that I should get only user friends that have already logged in through my App. However, although I know certain friends of a user have logged In through my App they do not appear in Facebook Request Response when requesting friends of that user. For example I get back 40 friends rather than 50+.
Has anyone experienced this behavior before? I already deleted app from few users to re-authorized it through login but I haven't see any change in the behavior.
Here is the code I'm using:
new Request(ParseFacebookUtils.getSession(),"me/friends", null, null, new Request.Callback(){
@Override
public void onCompleted(Response response) {
if (response == null){
return;
}
else if (response.getError() != null){
response.getError().getException().printStackTrace();
return;
}
GraphMultiResult result = response.getGraphObjectAs(GraphMultiResult.class);
List<GraphObject> fbInList = result.getData();
if (fbInList != null && !fbInList.isEmpty()){
for (GraphObject user : fbInList) {
JSONObject jsonUser = user.getInnerJSONObject(); // The Facebook User
System.out.println("name: " + jsonUser.optString("name"));
}
}
}
}).executeAsync();
I've found what was the problem. When I updated to the latest Facebook SDK, Facebook was returning only 25 friends. I needed to use paging or add a limit to my Friend Request. On previous SDK I didn't need to.
Adding limit:
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("limit", "50"); // Up to 5000?
friendRequest.setParameters(params);
