I'm developing a google maps based app. I would like to integrate the capabilities of being able to see your friends location/s (similar to how you can see uber cars or fiend my friends). currently i have a facebook signin option. Does anyone know what sdk i need to integrate or the name of what this is called so that i can do further research.
There is no way to get the location of Facebook friends, friend permissions are completely gone for privacy reasons: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog
You can only get the location of an authorized User (with the user_location permission), see Facebook docs: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/user

I'm trying create application that is recognizing my firends by facebook pictures that I have access to. I need to have access all my friends picstures that I can see and information about them. I haven't tried yet selenium-webdriver drivers. Facebook app API allowes me to get info only if they install my app. Is there any other way to grab infos with pictures?
There is no other way. Scraping is not allowed on Facebook, you MUST use the API. Access is only available to friends who authorized the App.
For privacy reasons, data of any user who did not authorize your App is none of your business, and you are not allowed to do anything with any data without specific permission of each user.
It's possible to access through Graph API (or any other way) the list of all users logged in the past to my FB app?
Thanks
Marcello
There is no way to get that information, unless you store it in your own database.
You can see how many people using Facebook analytics. You cannot see their usernames, email, etc- you might be able to extend the analytics with some development to include those... but they dont come configured out of the box.
Here is a link to Facebook App Analytics:

I am in the prototype and research stage of an app that would create a quiz about a FaceBook user's friends. The gist is that each question would ask the user to match the profile picture of her Facebook friend with the name of the Facebook user that picture belongs to.
As I read the v2.3 Facebook API documentation, specifically the section about the user_friends permission, it appears that any app I make will only be able to get the user's friends' info if the friend has also installed and authorized my app.
If this is indeed the case, I won't even attempt the app as it's unlikely to be any fun if the content is limited to the set of friends who have installed the app.
Is there any other way to get the user's friends info while staying within the bounds of the Facebook Developers Terms of Service AND without requiring that the user's friend has installed and authorized my app?
Yes, that is indeed the case, you can only get access to friends who authorized your App with user_friends too. There is no other way since you don´t want to "invite friends to a canvas game" or "tag friends".
Check out the answer in this thread for more information: Facebook Graph Api v2.0+ - /me/friends returns empty, or only friends who also use my app
I want get new feed user's but many the tutorial not working in new Facebook API.
I had login and post comment but i don't know continue get new feed in app Android.
I try in URL ttps://graph.facebook.com/me/home?access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN but return no.
And https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed?access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN then error read_stream. But i had set read_stream premission read_stream. Somebody help me! I need some code but docs developer facebook's is simple so i don't understand.
Sorry my English not good !
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.0
read_stream - This permission is reserved for apps that replicate the Facebook client on platforms that don’t have a native client.
"no native client" means devices like TVs and stuff.
So this permission will only work for App Admins, most permissions need to get approved now, see changelog: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog
Afaik it is not possible to get access to the user feed anymore (except for App Admins, of course), unless you are creating an App for specific devices.
I am using facebook to login to my website. The website does not need any information about the facebook user's friends' list. I am interested only in the user's general information.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/login/public-profile-and-friend-list/ shows the friend list also as the minimum information shared by Facebook.
Hence wanted to check if there is any way to restrict the user friend list information from being passed on from facebook to my application?
No, when a user authorize an application the minimum data shared is it's basic information and friend list.
Unfortunately you cannot change this.
Official documentation:
When someone connects with an app using Facebook Login, the app can
access their public profile and friend list, the pieces of information
that are visible to everyone. Each other piece of information that
someone adds to their Facebook profile is secured behind permissions.
