How to fetch url for photo from Facebook Graph API (/me/photos)

Question

Using Facebook Graph API, I can query the list of photos uploaded by user (/me/photos/?type=uploaded)

However, this only returns a list of ids. I assume this list is the id for the photo, but how can I use this id to fetch the url?

Answer 1

You need to add the link field to the request - eg ask for /me/photos?fields=link&type=uploaded

Answer 2

Please create a URL like this-

https://graph.facebook.com/USER_FB_ID/picture?type=large

• REPLACE USER_FB_ID with fb id which you are receiving onSuccess

EDIT

Working code to fetch the list of photos with source URL .

                                            System.out.println("Logged in with fb");
                                            Bundle params = new Bundle();
                                            _accesToken = _sPrefsFB.getString("access_token", "");
                                            System.out.println("_accesToken Bundle : " + _accessToken);

                                            params.putString("access_token", _accessToken);


                                            _imagesList.clear();
                                            mAsyncRunner.request("/me/albums" ,params,"GET", new RequestListener() {

                                                    //need to set album adapter
