Get Facebook News Feed

Question

I am new to using Facebook's API. I am trying to figure out how to access a user''s News Feed.

mFacebookLoginButton.registerCallback(callbackManager, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {
            GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newGraphPathRequest(loginResult.getAccessToken(), "/me/home", new GraphRequest.Callback() {
                @Override
                public void onCompleted(GraphResponse graphResponse) {
                }
            });

I am confused to how to access the posts. Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes I called the method. However, I do not know how to access the Post objects from the News Feed. — safaiyeh, May 26 '15 at 20:46

The news feed info will be formatted in JSON format in the response so you are going to have to look into how to parse JSON string. But to get the JSON from the "graphResponse" you can do the following in the onCompleted method:

    @Override
    public void onCompleted(GraphResponse graphResponse) {
        JSONObject jsonObject = graphResponse.getJSONObject();

        try {
             //parse through jsonObject here
        }
        catch (JSONException e) {
            //log exception
        }
    }

It look slike getGraphObject() is not apart of the newest API version. I foudn you can get the JSON Array by graphResponse.getJSONArray() – safaiyeh May 28 '15 at 04:54
