  • 0

I’m using Twitter4j and the Android Facebook SDK to fetch status messages. With Twitter4J I get real-time notifications whenever a new status has been added to the stream via StatusListener (Twitter4J).
In the Facebook SDK I cannot find a similar way, I can only fetch entire streams over and over again in a fixed time interval using RequestListener (Facebook SDK) as far as I see it.

Is there any way to get notified of new statuses in realtime with the Facebook SDK in a similar way as with Twitter4J?

(Found a similar but unanswered question here: Facebook real-time updated application wall)

    There is a realtime API

    http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api/realtime

    but it’s only for server-to-server communication, so it’s not really useful if all you have is a mobile app without a server infrastructure that your app can subscribed to – which is what I was looking for in my particular case.
