Facebook Graph API - Finding a users top friends

Question

I am writing a android app that will pull in a list of all the users friends so they can tag them in the photo but displaying a large box of the friends with their photo ins

Answer 1

I wanted to do this without requiring additional/extended permissions. I found a fairly decent approximation for my needs was the mutual_friend_count field in the user FQL table.

So I used:

$params = array('method' => 'fql.query',
                'query' => 'SELECT uid, pic_square, name 
                 FROM user 
                 WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) 
                 ORDER BY mutual_friend_count DESC

And then just fire that off using the PHP SDK

$friend_array = $facebook->api($params);
