Answer 1

This can be done using google plus api. Though you can not get full profile information of every friend in one request, it will give you at least following information

• id
• displayName
• image
• objectType
• url

To get profile information further you have to fetch each friend's profile information separately.

Given below is the code to fetch friends list

       mPlusClient.loadPeople(new OnPeopleLoadedListener()
        {

            @Override
            public void onPeopleLoaded(ConnectionResult status, PersonBuffer personBuffer, String nextPageToken)
            {

                if ( ConnectionResult.SUCCESS == status.getErrorCode() )
                {
                    Log.v(TAG, "Fetched the list of friends");
                    for ( Person p : personBuffer )
                    {
                        Log.v(TAG, p.getDisplayName());
                    }
                }
            }
        }, Person.Collection.VISIBLE); // VISIBLE=0
    }

"for-loop" in the callback is there to iterate over each "Person" object.

Now to get further profile information you can use following snippet of code

     mPlusClient.loadPerson(new OnPersonLoadedListener()
        {

            @Override
            public void onPersonLoaded(ConnectionResult status, Person person)
            {
                if ( ConnectionResult.SUCCESS == status.getErrorCode()) 
                {
                    Log.v(TAG, person.toString());
                }

            }
        }, "me"); // Instead of "me" use id of the user whose profile information you are willing to get.

There is not currently an API method exposed to list friends of a G+ user.
