list friends list using the Facebook java SDK

Here you need the user friends and not the friends-list they are not the same so you could get the friend of specific user using :

/{user-id}/friends

Select allOpen in new window

Then loop through the data like :

for ( k in r.data ){
    console.log( r.data[k].id );
}

Select allOpen in new window

The full script will be :

function friendslist()
{
	FB.api("/{user-id}/friends",
		function (response) {
		  if (response && !response.error) 
		  {
			  for ( k in response.data ){
			    console.log( response.data[k].id, response.data[k].name  );
			 }
		  }
		}
	);
}

Hello,

i just tested the code and added a few debug lines and noticed it's only getting to this line and nothing after.

		  if (response && !response.error)

Ok good job sir, let us now check the response content before the if statement like :

console.log( response );

hmm looking at the error now let me know if you have any insight it may be a permission issue.

(#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: {user-id}

aaah, you should replace the expression {user-id} by the real id of the user you want to get the list of his friends.

getting closer I passed in the user's ID but I think the call is expecting something else

error: {message: "(#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: {10156781396921240}", type: "OAuthException", code: 803, fbtrace_id: "EvfQq6RkO5B"}
__proto__: Object

i even passed in the access token and it doe snot like that value as well

Make sure the access_token isn't expired and share with us the response when you pass it.

here is the response from the code with the access token passed in.

update function

function friendslist(UserID, AT)
{
	FB.api("/{"+ AT +"}/friends",
		function (response) {
		console.log(UserID);
		console.log(AT);
		console.log('friends list function start');
		console.log( response );
		  if (response && !response.error) 
		  {
		        console.log('If response in friends function');
			   for ( k in response.data ){
			    console.log( response.data[k].id, response.data[k].name  );
			 }
		  }
		}
	);
