Facebook & Android - GraphAPI or FQL?

Question

If I want to display the user his news feed \\ profile etc in a mobile android app,

What should I use to acquire the data?

GraphAPI or FQL?

Is there any data that is available in one of the methods but not in the other?

Answer 1

Fetch the data using the FB Android SDK, https://developers.facebook.com/android/

Then make FQL or Graph API calls:

You may find it easier to access some data via one method or the other. Check the fql tables and use the Graph API Explorer to inspect the data that is available.
