Answer 1

Please use facebook graph API. URL : https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=session.getAccessToken() ;

CODE:

   try {
            HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpGet httppost = new HttpGet("https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token="
                    + accessToken);
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
            BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    response.getEntity().getContent()));
            String line = "";
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
                sb.append(line + "\n");
            }
            String result = sb.toString();
            JSONObject mJsonObj = new JSONObject(result);

            mEmailId = mJsonObj.optString("email");
            mProfileId = mJsonObj.optString("id");

        } catch (Exception ex) {

        }

Answer 2

You don't need any extra permission for email. Try the following tutorial ,you can get name,profile pic,email ,user id etc after you login

http://www.androidhive.info/2012/03/android-facebook-connect-tutorial/

here

final String email = profile.getString("email");  will give you email from the json data.

hope this answer is helpful to you friend :)

Answer 3

The FB user object has an email field, but for some reason FB didn't provide a get method to access it. Just use the following line:

    try {
            email.setText(user.getInnerJSONObject().getString("email"));
        }
            catch (JSONException e) { }
