post your logcat log so we can see whats the error.Have you added the required permissions in AndroidManifest.xml? — Metalhead1247, Sep 13 '13 at 04:49
Are you able to see the "friends birthday" in the permissions dialog while login? — Sahil Mittal, Sep 13 '13 at 08:23

Use the OpenGraph API in whatever environment you use to retrieve the information. The birthday is in the user information object, see docs: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user

see this link too.

Also check your date format is correct is not ?

the correct date format to be used is

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd");

Are you getting null for all birthdays or just some?

Some birthdays will be null, since some FB users have chosen not specify their birthday.
