Unable to get a facebook page's feed onto my app

Question

I want my app to just display the posts published by a facebook page without any authentication. Here is the code:

public class Main extends Activity {

@Overrid         


        

Answer 1

There is actually a way to get a page public feed without user permission!

Solution

1. Get the page Facebook Profile Id: the simplest way is to query the Graph API http://graph.facebook.com/{YourPageUsername} . e.g. for oStream Android App https://graph.facebook.com/oStreamApp will return Facebook Profile Id 289781571139242

2. Request the RSS of the Facebook page feed: Make an http request to https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id={yourAppId} e.g. For oStream Android App the Public https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=289781571139242

An Android implementation will simply be:

1. Make an http request to http://graph.facebook.com/{YourPageUsername}
2. Parse the content and get the YourPageId
3. Make an http request to https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id={yourAppId}
4. Parse the content
5. Display the content as you wish

Side note This question is not very much about Android but just with Facebook API.
