demo app to get all facebook friends

#Facebook-Friends-list

Create a Facebook app

• Login to facebook developer page https://developers.facebook.com/apps/
• Under “My Apps” Click to “Add a New App”

• Then select your platform “Android”

• Then enter your valid app name

• Then click on “Create New Facebook App ID”
• Then select your app “Category” for example I select “Books”

• Then click “Create App ID”
• Then It will move direct to “quickstarts” page. Have steps to help you to add facebook sdk to your project

As I am using “Android Studio” Add code dependencies

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
    compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.0.0'
}

• Then click “Build” then “Rebuild” or “Sync Project with Gradle file”

• Then move to “App Info” step and enter your packageName and your default Activity Name

• Then click “Next” in my case you will see this message because I used invalid packageName but I will click on “use this package name” because I just create a demo app

• Then create and add the “key Hashes” then click “Next”
• “Finished!”
• Refresh developer page under “My Apps” you will find your app

Login using “LoginButton”

• In activity_main.xml

<com.facebook.login.widget.LoginButton
    android:id="@+id/fbButton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    />

• In “AndroidManifest.xml”

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

Under <application

<meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>

Then add facebook loginActivity to your Manifest

<activity android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
    android:configChanges=
        "keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"
    android:label="@string/app_name" />

• Then on “MainActivity.java”

private TextView tvLoginResult;
private LoginButton btnFBLogin; 

private CallbackManager callbackManager;

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        tvLoginResult = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_LoginResult);
        btnFBLogin = (LoginButton) findViewById(R.id.fbButton); 

        //init the callback manager
        callbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create();

        btnFBLogin.registerCallback(callbackManager, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {
                tvLoginResult.setText( "Success Login" + "\n"+
                        "User = " + loginResult.getAccessToken().getUserId() + "\n" +
                                "Token = " + loginResult.getAccessToken().getToken()
                );
            }

            @Override
            public void onCancel() {

            }

            @Override
            public void onError(FacebookException e) {

            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
//        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        //to pass Results to your facebook callbackManager
        callbackManager.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    }

Login Using Login Manager

• In onclick button event add

    //"user_friends" this will return only the common friends using this app
    LoginManager.getInstance().logInWithReadPermissions(MainActivity.this,
            Arrays.asList("public_profile", "user_friends", "email"));

• Then at “OnCreate” we need to registerCallback to loginManager

   LoginManager.getInstance().registerCallback(callbackManager, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {
        btnShowFriendsList.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        tvLoginResult.setText( "Success Login" + "\n"+
                        "User = " + loginResult.getAccessToken().getUserId() + "\n" +
                        "Token = " + loginResult.getAccessToken().getToken()
        );
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancel() {

    }

    @Override
    public void onError(FacebookException e) {

    }
});

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
//        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        //to pass Results to your facebook callbackManager
        callbackManager.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    }

Display Friends list

• onClick event for button “btnShowFriendsList” start “FBFriendsListActivity”

Intent intent = new Intent(this, FBFriendsListActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

• onCreate start call getFBFriendsList()

private void getFBFriendsList() {
    //fbToken return from login with facebook
    GraphRequestAsyncTask r = GraphRequest.newGraphPathRequest(fbToken,
            "/me/taggable_friends", new Callback() {

                @Override
                public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
                    parseResponse(response.getJSONObject());
                }
            }

    ).executeAsync();

}

• onCompleted you need to parse the response

private void parseResponse(JSONObject friends ) {

        try {
            JSONArray friendsArray = (JSONArray) friends.get("data");
            if (friendsArray != null) {
                for (int i = 0; i < friendsArray.length(); i++) {
                    FriendItem item = new FriendItem();
                    try {
                        item.setUserId(friendsArray.getJSONObject(i).get(
                                "id")
                                + "");

                        item.setUserName(friendsArray.getJSONObject(i).get(
                                "name")
                                + "");
                        JSONObject picObject = new JSONObject(friendsArray
                                .getJSONObject(i).get("picture") + "");
                        String picURL = (String) (new JSONObject(picObject
                                .get("data").toString())).get("url");
                        item.setPictureURL(picURL);
                        friendsList.add(item);

                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
                // facebook use paging if have "next" this mean you still have friends if not start load fbFriends list
                String next = friends.getJSONObject("paging")
                        .getString("next");
                if (next != null) {
                    getFBFriendsList(next);
                } else {
                    loadFriendsList();
                }
            }
        } catch (JSONException e1) {
            loadFriendsList();
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

• Facebook use paging if have "next" this mean you still have friends if not start load fbFriends list
• To get remaining friends call “getFBFriendsList(String next)” I am using “volley”

-	private void getFBFriendsList(String next) {
    //here i used volley to get next page
    RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getApplicationContext());
    StringRequest sr = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, next,
            new Response.Listener<String>() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(String response) {

                    JSONObject friends = null;
                    try {
                        friends = new JSONObject(response);
                        parseResponse(friends);
                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
        }
    }) {
        @Override
        protected Map<String, String> getParams() {
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
            Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
            params.put("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
            return params;
        }
    };

    queue.add(sr);
}

• To update your listView just call “loadFriendsList()”

private void loadFriendsList() {
    swipeLayout.setRefreshing(false);
    if ((friendsList != null) && (friendsList.size() > 0)) {
        lvFriendsList.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        friendsAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    } else {
        lvFriendsList.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }
}

Note

• Only facebook user under Roles can see the friend list (administrators, developers, or testers)

• You need to add your app to Facebook Review, to make all users see his friends list
• Under “Status & Review” click on “Start a Submission”
