Get facebook albums and album images?

Question

Hello Friends

I am trying to get facebook album of a user . Problem is that it is returning albums for the user who is created the facebook app or who is the admin of that application .

For rest of the users it is returning the empty array

new Request(session, "/me/albums", null, HttpMethod.GET,
                        new Request.Callback() {
                            public void onCompleted(Response response) {
                                System.out.println("Responce "
                                        + response.getGraphObject());
                            }
                        }).executeAsync();

This work for me because i have create a facebook app and for the rest of the users it is not returning the data. Please let me know how to resolve this.

Thanks Amit

Answer 1

When your application is in sandbox/development mode you can not perform any api call for other user. To test your for other user, add the user as a tester, developer or admin. See details here

Answer 2

Since you probably ask for the user_photos permission already (else it would not work for the admin), there are two possible problems why it does not work for other users:

• Your App is in not set public. Go to the "Status & Review" tab of your App settings and make sure that checkbox on top says "YES".
• Most permissions (like user_photos) need to get reviewed by Facebook before you can use them for any other user: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/login
