I am making a calendar application and I want to be able to display the events that are linked to my Facebook account. Now, I know that I need the Facebook SDK for that and I already installed it, but I don't know what the next step is..
first you need to access facebook user information after accessing these informations you can easily link them to your calender app
Check these links for taking image of user profile similarly u need to get all details of Users.
Image of Logged User...
Friends Birthday list...
Integrating facebook in your Application :
Github for Facebook.
Include Graph API for Facebook to access user information
use graph API and use
211600268?fields=id,events,friends.fields(events)
the id used above should be replaced by your own facebook id

I have an android application and want to add a functionality "Add Friend" . Suppose I have logged in using Facebook Credentials so on clicking "App Friend" I will get list of my Facebook friend who are also using same application using their Facebook credentials. I just want to know which facebook permissions will be required
Refer to the facebook developer doc. You need user friend
Here is facebook graph api references, and as I understood there is no ability to make friend request by graph api.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/friends
Update
Facebook invite dialog is deprecated, you can only get the list of user whose using the app
I am developing an Android App and using Facebook Login to let user sign up using their Facebook Accounts.
I am a beginner, so wanted to know how to keep track of user's friends signing up on my application and accordingly push notify both users. I am adding a timeline, so I want to show user posts from his social circle only.
Resolution: We are now considering using Invite Friends in latest version of Facebook Graph API.
Facebook did an update a while back , I dont recall which version of the SDK or Graph API (Graph API 2.0 maybe?) this took effect in but you really cant do that kind of thing anymore. Now when you request the list of friends for the user the user ID for the friend that is returned in that list is now randomly generated and not their real account ID.
So when a friend that was pulled in from another user attempts to login with your app the ID you get for them is entirely different. The only real way to do this would be to then name match really but that is entirely unreliable in most cases.
EDIT
This only behaves this way for games or for using the tagging api. Not for general friends list request.
I try using this link this. In this tutorial i post my app link only my wall. But i want to share my app link to all my friends. Same like as a XYZ invited to you to try ABCapp only in notification bar. When click on it open google play store of my app page. I want to share my app app link to app facebook friends or selected facebook friend. How can i achieve this?
To invite friends through your app you can use App Invites. Before using this feature make sure to set up your Android Facebook SDK version to 4.0 or later.
You can take a look at the overview in this link
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/app-invites/overview
For the implementation you probably need this
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/app-invites/android
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/faq#invite_to_app
If your app has a Canvas presence, you may also use the Requests Dialog on iOS and Android
If your app does not have a presence on Facebook Canvas: You may use the Message Dialog on iOS and Android, or the Send Dialog on Web
I assume you don´t have a Canvas presence? In that case you should not use App Requests.
Basically what you need is the list of all the friends of user on facebook to invite them. you can get ALL friends' list only if your app is in "GAME" category.
If not, then you can still get the friend list of user , but only some, not all. refer to terms friends and invitable_friends on facebook.
So, here are few things you can do (BUT NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL)
Change the category of your app to "GAMES" & you'll be able to get
all friend's list & then you can use WebDialog & WebDialog.RequestsDialogBuilder to invite that friends
give any link to canvas URL on facebook app setting. that link will be used only when user clicks your notification from web. that link won't affect your app in any way.
I am little bit confused about new api and app review steps of facebook api. I need to have facebook login and get the list of friends of a logged in user and sent invitation to use app for selected friends. What are the steps i should follow it? do i need to submit my app for review in facebook?
You can´t get all the friends of a user anymore, at least not for an Android App. You only get the friends who authorized the App too.
There is invitable_friends for inviting friends, but:
The Invitable Friends API is only available to apps classified as Games, which also have a Canvas presence. This API is not available in v1.0. It may be called by mobile games as long as they also have a Canvas presence.
You may want to read this too: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/faq#invite_to_app
Facebook change there api police. if you do not get Friends to send invitation. if you want to do that then you need to submit your app for review by facebook team but if your app is Game then you able to do that.
But another way, you can do that, You can do it via facebook web-dialog to send invitation.
Thanks
My app has an instant messaging feature. So it has a contact list.. I want to populate the contact list to help get my user started with some friends..
After asking permission I will:
1) Search the local contact database, send the phone numbers to my server and check for other accounts using my application that have the same phone number.
2) Ask them if they want to also import their facebook friends. At which point I suppose I will ask them for their username and password for facebook, log in to the Graph API and request their list of friends..
My question is, once I am iterating the list of friends from my user's facebook friends list, how can I link their facebook friend ID (or whatever identifier Facebook gives me) to some other ID in my app?
Will I see the email of all my friends users (after research, it looks like not)? Will I just get a numeric Facebook ID? If so, then how am I to harvest facebook IDs from all my users that have linked their account to facebook in my app?
I suspect this feature has been implement by other third party developers. So I'm looking for the strategy to identify and link my app users, to facebook accounts, and then iterate my app users friends list to find common users.
The question I am answering from a user perspective "Which of my facebook friends are already using this app, named XYZ on android"
You can store a user's Facebook ID alongside their other user information for your app, then match on the retrieved IDs from a Graph API /friends call. This way, you'll be able to see which friends have also linked the app to their Facebook account. You won't be able to fetch email addresses for a user's friends using the API.
