Answer 1

Please use the search next time before posting a duplicate qustion, or consult the facebook docs.

With the v2.0 of the Graph API, you can only get the freinds which use the same app. See Don't get all friends of facebook in my ios app? or https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/upgrading#upgrading_v2_0_user_ids

Answer 2

I'm not sure about the github project that you've mentioned in the question; but you have to understand this that you cannot fetch the list of all the friends of a user with v2.0 Graph APIs (or Android SDK 3.14+).

The official doc of /{user-id}/friends says-

• A user access token with user_friends permission is required to view the current person's friends.
• This will only return any friends who have used (via Facebook Login) the app making the request.
• If a friend of the person declines the user_friends permission, that friend will not show up in the friend list for this person.
