FQL, Permission , Facebook and iPhone

Select name, status from user where uid in (select uid2 from friend where uid1 = )

After setting up session and logging in ,a request is made using Facebook iOS sdk as:

NSString* fql = [NSString stringWithFormat:@”Select name, status from user where uid in (select uid2 from friend where uid1 = %lld)”, ];

NSDictionary* params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:fql forKey:@”query”];

[[FBRequest requestWithDelegate:self] call:@”facebook.fql.query” params:params];

But you will find out status and friend names are found to be Null.Because we have haven’t provide any permission yet.

So we have to provide permission after login as:

FBPermissionDialog* friendStatusDialog = [[[FBPermissionDialog alloc] init] autorelease];

friendStatusDialog.permission = @”friends_status”;

[ friendStatusDialog show];

And now on running , friend names are retrieved.But still there is a problem status messages are still Null. Because we haven’t provide the application the key to enter into that room.

Then this will be provided as:

FBPermissionDialog* statusUpdateDialog = [[[FBPermissionDialog alloc] init] autorelease];

statusUpdateDialog.permission = @”status_update”;

[ statusUpdateDialog show];

Now it is, all friends name and status are retrieved.

Thus, only those rooms will be accessed whose keys we have in our pocket.
