This page should be an introduction and documentation map for Java coders. I'm moving the page's current contents to Talk. --514977297 05:48, 25 July 2007 (PDT)


Was anyone able to compile the Java client library? It's giving some funny errors.


I'm also getting three compile-time errors... all about the convert() function. Code looks fine to me though:

...src/java/com/facebook/api/FacebookSignatureUtil.java:157: convert(java.util.Collection<java.util.Map.Entry<?,java.lang.CharSequence>>) in com.facebook.api.FacebookSignatureUtil cannot be applied to (java.util.Set<java.util.Map.Entry<java.lang.String,java.lang.CharSequence>>)

I ended up using a hack to fix this. Separate convert into two functions: convert_String and convert_FacebookParam, replacing the generic ? with String/FacebookParam. Not pretty, but compiles fine now.

Prettier than my solution... I ended up changing the function prototype to take just a collection. Then I had a try catch where I cast it to a java.util.Set<java.util.Map.Entry<java.lang.String,java.lang.CharSequence>>, if that failed then I cast it into the other. It compiled with warnings but worked. I know, I know, I hang my head in shame ;)

[edit] Grabbing A User's Photos

Does anyone know what exactly a call to photos_get(uid) will return? That is, I'm aware of the XML structure it returns, but it seems that I'm only able to grab a static number of photos (say, 75 or so... I forget the exact number) despite the fact that my sample UID is tagged in over 200 photos. Is there a way to request every single photo a UID is tagged in?
