Facebook API Android Authentication used for the Web API

Question

I'd like to use the Android SDK for the Facebook API. I'm having no issues with retrieving the access_token, described here: [Retrieve Auth Key][1]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4593061/how-to-retrieve-an-facebook-authtoken-from-the-accounts-saved-on-android

I can also authenticate just fine with Facebook using the Android SDK.

On the Web end, I'm having no problem authenticating with this, Found on FB

My problem is I need to be able to issue the Web API authentication using the information I get from the Android SDK.

Is this possible? I'm having trouble finding any information on how to do this.

Thanks!

Scott,

Are you retrieving the access token when the user authenticates from the FB Android SDK?

Once you have that access token, no matter where you get it, it's good for up to 30 minutes (soon to be 3 weeks).

So you can make any Graph call you like about the user as long as you have the proper permissions from the allow.

something along these lines: facebook.request("me"); // to get the current logged in users info..
