Question

I am messing around with the facebook graph api for the first time and ran into an issue that doesn’t to be happening to anyone else. If this is a duplicate, I apologize.

Bundle searchParams = new Bundle();
searchParams.putString("q", "coffee");
searchParams.putString("type", "place");

String response = facebook.request("search", searchParams);

In the above code, I am attempting to duplicate the example facebook has on their developer graph api page where they search for coffee places. The interesting thing that happens is when I pass in the Bundle, I have those two params that I have set.

public String request(String graphPath, Bundle params, String httpMethod)
        throws FileNotFoundException, MalformedURLException, IOException {
    params.putString("format", "json");
    if (isSessionValid()) {
        params.putString(TOKEN, getAccessToken());
    }
    String url = (graphPath != null) ? GRAPH_BASE_URL + graphPath
                                     : RESTSERVER_URL;
    return Util.openUrl(url, httpMethod, params);
}

As I step through the facebook request function (seen above), I noticed that the first param I put was popped out of the Bundle after the access_token was put in. This resulted in my Bundle containing only {“type”, “place”}, and facebook’s params. Through the debugger I noticed that the threshold was set to 3. I’m guessing that’s my issue, but don’t know how or where to change that.

Any thoughts?

Update:
I haven’t been able to figure the issue out that I had. But was able to do what I needed when upgrading to facebook sdk 3.0b. Thanks.

Answer 1

I can do this and I call the request function like this.

String response = facebook.request("search", searchParams,"GET");
