                @Override

        }

        @Override
        protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
                mFacebook.authorizeCallback(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        }
}

As a response I get a JSON. Example:

08-15 14:22:42.160: DEBUG/FACEBOOK(1258): Response: {"id":"3159628280","name":"Peter Black","first_name":"Peter","last_name":"Black","link":"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Peter.Black","username":"Peter.Black","gender":"male","timezone":3,"locale":"bg_BG","verified":true,"updated_time":"2011-08-14T08:42:59+0000"}

My question is how can I get the user's email (the email with which he logs into Facebook)?

You need the email permission to read the users email adress. That will add a email tag in your json-response from [uid] or me requests.

email

Provides access to the user's primary email address in the email property. Do not spam users. Your use of email must comply both with Facebook policies and with the CAN-SPAM Act.

Thanks, it worked! If this post is useful to someone - the permission goes here: `private static final String[] PERMS = new String[] { "read_stream", "email" };` – Stefan Doychev Aug 15 '11 at 12:25

Do it when you are clicking Login button:

  OpenRequest openRequest = new OpenRequest(this);
  List<String> readPermissions = new ArrayList<String>();
  readPermissions.add("email");
  openRequest.setPermissions(readPermissions);
  openRequest.setLoginBehavior(SessionLoginBehavior.SSO_WITH_FALLBACK);
  openRequest.setCallback(statusCallback);
  session.openForRead(openRequest);

Another option to retrieve email in Facebook SDK 3.0.x is by using this open source library:

android-simple-facebook
https://github.com/sromku/android-simple-facebook

First, use this permission
```
Permissions.EMAIL
```

Then, login

mSimpleFacebook.login(MainActivity.this);

And then, get the profile

mSimpleFacebook.getProfile(new OnProfileRequestAdapter()
{
    @Override
    public void onComplete(Profile profile)
    {
        String id = profile.getId();
        String firstName = profile.getFirstName();
        String birthday = profile.getBirthday();
        String email = profile.getEmail();
        String bio = profile.getBio();
        // ... and many more properties of profile ...
    }
});

Full examples are explained here including permissions stuff and other simplified methods (like: publish feeds, get friends and more...)

Before calling Session.openActiveSession do this to get permissions add this:

List<String> permissions = new ArrayList<String>();
permissions.add("email");

The last parameter in Session.openActiveSession() should be permissions. Now you can access user.getProperty("email").toString().
