returning blank json data while accesing album in facebook

Question

Hi ,

When i am using Graph API of facebook in android ( with facebook android sdk ) to access albums m using following url

https://graph.facebook.com/me/albums?access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

but unfortunately it is returning {"data":[]}

other urls like

  https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

are working totally fine.

so i don't know for what reason its returning {"data":[]}. I tried accessing my own account on facebook and use example url provided on Graph API & over there if i use following url then its giving me all necessary data. but not working in facebook android sdk

https://graph.facebook.com/me/albums?access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Answer 1

The photo albums this user has created. Requires the user_photos or friend_photos permission

You need that permission!
