How to search near by places in facebook

Question

I want to search near places on Facebook using Graph Api.

        double lat = 23.454554,lon=76.554545;
        Bundle params = new Bundle();
        params.putString("type", "place");
        params.putString("center", lat + "," + lon);
        params.putString("distance", "5000");
        params.putString("limit", "40");

        mFacebookRunner.request("search", params,
                new SearchPlaces());

I am able to get 20 results even if i increase distance to 10,000 meters it provides 20 results only.i want to retrieve 40 search result..

Edit :

https://graph.facebook.com/search?limit=60&type=place&center=23.032852,72.637334&distance=10000&access_token=my_access_token

I am able to get almost 50 search results, but first option don't give more than 20 results.

Any Idea?

Thanks

You have an undocumented method distance() you can use as described here:

I am able to get the search results near 40 but not exact 40..

    double lat = 23.454554,lon=76.554545;
    Bundle params = new Bundle();
    params.putString("type", "place");
    params.putString("center", lat + "," + lon);
    params.putString("distance", "5000");
    params.putString("limit", "40");

    mFacebookRunner.request("search", params,
            new SearchPlaces());

Log cat showed only 20 results(Due to its limitation) ,but when i checked the length of array it came near 40.. It works to search places..
