The solution is to implement a RequestListener when making the request to the Facebook graph API. I have the new getFriends() method (see below) which uses the AsyncGacebookRunner to request the data.

public void getFriends(CharSequence[] charFriendsNames,String[] sFriendsID, ProgressBar progbar) {
    try{
        //Pass arrays to store data
        friends = charFriendsNames;
        friendsID = sFriendsID;
        pb = progbar;
        Log.d(TAG, "Getting Friends!");
        //Create Request with Friends Request Listener
        mAsyncRunner.request("me/friends", new FriendsRequestListener());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Exception: " + e.getMessage());
    }
}

The AsyncFacebookRunner makes the the request using the custom FriendsRequestListener (see below) which implements the RequestListener class;

private class FriendsRequestListener implements RequestListener {
    String friendData;

    //Method runs when request is complete
    public void onComplete(String response, Object state) {
        Log.d(TAG, "FriendListRequestONComplete");
        //Create a copy of the response so i can be read in the run() method.
        friendData = response; 

        //Create method to run on UI thread
        FBConnectActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    //Parse JSON Data
                    JSONObject json;
                    json = Util.parseJson(friendData);

                    //Get the JSONArry from our response JSONObject
                    JSONArray friendArray = json.getJSONArray("data");

                    //Loop through our JSONArray
                    int friendCount = 0;
                    String fId, fNm;
                    JSONObject friend;
                    for (int i = 0;i
