Answer 1

To get number of friends please refer to the following link:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.4/user/friends

Permissions needed would be: user_friends, which you already have included..

You'll get friends count in field 'summary' in the name of total_count

loginBtn.registerCallback(callbackManager, new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult) {
        new GraphRequest(
            loginResult.getAccessToken(),
            "/me/friends",
            null,
            HttpMethod.GET,
            new GraphRequest.Callback() {
                public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
                    Log.i("response", response.getJSONArray().toString()); //find the summary 'total_count' in the response
                }
            }
        ).executeAsync();
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancel() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(FacebookException exception) {
    }
});

Answer 2

This is a pretty straightforward answer and the facebook documentation covers these details. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/android/current . https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api

Here is the answer anyway!

You will need user_friends for the number of friends. It returns the total count of friends.

The default permission set called "basic info" has been removed, and replaced by "public profile".

user_location for location.

user_work_history for the work company.

please note : users can choose to not give these permissions to your app, in which case you should handle those scenarios properly, else your app will get rejected in the review process.
