How to do a Facebook Send Request to a specific friend on Android?

It seems that the native Request Dialog shows a list where you can choose the friends you want to invite. I'm trying to do something where the user can just press a button to invite a specific person, say a girlfriend, or a family member.

Is this possible using the native Android SDK?

Update: Okay, this was voted to be closed so I'm updating. There wasn't anything said in the Facebook tutorials that you can send a Facebook Request to a specific person, which I was trying to do.

I've tried the following but it displays a friend selector with all of the user's friends:

Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("message", "Invite message here");

WebDialog requestsDialog = (
    new WebDialog.RequestsDialogBuilder(getActivity(), 
        Session.getActiveSession(), 
        params))
        .setOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener() {

            @Override
            public void onComplete(Bundle values, FacebookException error) {
                // Some onComplete callback here
            }               
        }).build();

requestsDialog.show();

And by adding .setTo(id) where id is the UID of the user to invite before .build(), the dialog is modified to send to just the indicated user. The code looks like:

WebDialog requestsDialog = (
    new WebDialog.RequestsDialogBuilder(getActivity(), 
        Session.getActiveSession(), 
        params))
        .setOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener() {

            @Override
            public void onComplete(Bundle values, FacebookException error) {
                // Some onComplete callback here
            }               
        }).setTo("SOME_FACEBOOK_ID_HERE").build();

requestsDialog.show();

Actually, I just read the documentation of the Request Dialog again. And it can be configured to send to a specific person by doing .setTo(String id).

Thanks for the reply though. :)
