Question

I need to get a hold of a user of my app\'s list of friends to filter the users that show up in a friend picker. I know I can call the following and get the list:

UPDATE: As per the changes introduced in V2.0, /me/friends will return app friends only.

The right way to do that is by using the Facebook Javascript-SDK, something like this:

function getFriends() {
    FB.api('/me/friends', function(response) {
        if(response.data) {
            $.each(response.data,function(index,friend) {
                alert(friend.name + ' has id:' + friend.id);
            });
        } else {
            alert("Error!");
        }
    });
}

Please note that:

1. I'm using jQuery here too
2. You may need to check if the user is connected before calling this function.
