Question

I am using this sample code https://github.com/chrtatu/FacebookFriendsList to get the list of FB friends with their names and profile pics.
Here I try to get their DOB as well, but in place of DOB, I get null value.
please help to fetch that.

My Code:

  String[] facebook_permissions = { "user_photos", "friends_birthday", "friends_photos" };

   public class FriendListAdapter extends BaseAdapter implements SectionIndexer {
    private LayoutInflater mInflater;

    FriendsList friendsList;
    Hashtable<Integer, FriendItem> listofshit = null;

    public FriendListAdapter(FriendsList friendsList) {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "FriendListAdapter()");
        this.friendsList = friendsList;
        sections = new String[getCount()];
        listofshit = new Hashtable<Integer, FriendItem>();
        for (int i = 0; i < getCount(); i++) {
            try {
                sections[i] = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("name").substring(0, 1);
                sections[i] = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("birthday").substring(0, 2);
            } catch (JSONException e) {

String query = "select name, uid, pic_square, birthday from user where uid in 
(select uid2 from friend where uid1=me()) order by name";

Answer 1

Instead of these two lines of code:

 sections[i] = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("name").substring(0, 1);
 sections[i] = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("birthday").substring(0, 2);

Use below two lines:

sections[i] = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("name").substring(0);
sections[i] = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("birthday").substring(1);
