Get the URL of a facebook account using the new GRAPH API in android

Question

Using the new graph api we manage to get the profile picture of are users(using the login with facebook button).
here's a snippet.

   GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newMeRequest(
                accessToken,
                new GraphRequest.GraphJSONObjectCallback() {
                    @Override
                    public void onCompleted(JSONObject object, GraphResponse response) {
                        // Application code
                        try {
                            Log.i("Response", response.toString());
                            Person person = new Person();
                            person.setEmail(response.getJSONObject().getString("email"));
                            person.setName(response.getJSONObject().getString("first_name") + " " +
                                    response.getJSONObject().getString("last_name"));
                            person.setDevice_token(FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken());
                            if (response.getJSONObject().has("picture")) {
                                person.setPersonProfileImageURL(response.getJSONObject().getJSONObject("picture").getJSONObject("data").getString("url"));

                            }
                            person.setmPersonUid(uid);

                            mDatabase.setValue(person).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Void>() {
                                @Override
                                public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {

                                    if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                                        Log.i(" mDatabase.setValue", "task.isSuccessful");
                                    }

                                }
                            });

                        } catch (JSONException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                });
        Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
        parameters.putString("fields", "id,email,first_name,last_name,picture.type(large)");

Is there a way to get a link to their facebook profile as well?? (i.e we want to show a link to the facebook profile in our app)
We thought of maybe concatenating the id with facebook.com/{id} but that didn't do it.
Thanks

You need to get permission to access user_link and then try this code.

for setting permission use this or add in you are using already.

loginButton.setReadPermissions("user_link");

For getting profile url from graph api.

GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newMeRequest(
  accessToken,
  new GraphRequest.GraphJSONObjectCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onCompleted(JSONObject object, GraphResponse response) {
      // do your stuff
    }
});

Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("fields", "link");
request.setParameters(parameters);
request.executeAsync();

it works for me hope also works for you.

comment below if it works for you.
