Lets say I have an application on android and two of my friends have downloaded it. Many apps such as words with friends have the ability to look at your friends, find out who has downloaded the same app and display it in your own application so you can play/challenge them now does anyone know a good starting point at what to look at to accomplish this goal of finding which of my friends are using my app through facebook or what can I do to achieve this?
You can query me endpoint as following
/me/friends?fields=id,installed,name
It will return friends of user with either installed feed set or not depending upon the condition if they have installed or not.

I'm planning to create an app for my classmates this Holiday So that we will be able to interact, share ideas, and challenge ourselves in a quiz.Like the SoloLearn app.
My Plan
-A user profile
-Home page where users can share ideas with each other.
-A page where users can complete a quiz to test their knowledge.
-The Challenge Zone where users can challenge each other in a quiz.
-.Settings
1.where a user can log in /log out
2.control the sound of the app.
3.switch to night mode and a search button to find other users.
But I don't even know where to start.
Have already download Java version 8, and Android Studio on my PC but I don't know the next step to take.
How do I achieve this goal?
The best way is by learning the course and Moreover it is freely available at https://www.udacity.com/courses/android
Moreover they teach you from very basic level so just check it out i have tried it too
if ever you want to create an app painlessly, consider app inventor from the MIT found here
I have distributed my app through posting the link from google drive where the users can download the .apk file.Now that I haven't published my app in google play how to know how many installs or how many people have installed my application.Is there a way I can increase the count variable in the server or something like that?
Unless you went through the App Store or integrated some third party analytics tool like Fabric you would need to have implemented this in the application with a request to a server with a unique identifier to keep track.
Is there a way I can increase the count variable in the server or something like that?
Well that seems a bit shady. You don't want to lie to people, do you?
When you release an app on the Play Store, Google will keep track of how many users download your app, and update it accordingly. So if people use your app, then your downloads (listed on the Play Store) will reflect that.
To see your current downloads, you should be able to find that information on the "Google Play Developer Console." (I would imagine; I currently don't have access to the dashboard myself.)
Hi I am designing an Android App using Android Studio for my class and one of the requirement is that the app should link two users together as "partners" so that they can receive notifications or messages from each other. I already have google sign in available but I don't know how to link two users together. Can someone point me in the right direction to get started? Thank you.
You're looking to create an app that can connect users wirelessly and then do whatever tasks you wish to do. Now I'm not going to give you the code or anything like that, but I'm going to point you in the right direction as you asked.
The Android Developers site is a good place to start: Building Apps with Connectivity
The first two categories are closely related to your type of question, and will give you the stepping stone you need to start developing an app that fits your purpose.
Anytime you have an actual issue with coding it, StackOverflow will have countless solutions I'm sure.
I'm trying to implement an Android activity witch shows a list of images of the user's friends that use the same app also (like in Tinder app). I've searched the web for days and everything I found is too old or doesn't seem to work properly (mainly because they are all based on earlier versions of facebook SDK).
Can somebody please attached an explanation, or even better, an open source of example like that.
There's an example in the docs. I wonder how you didn't find that...

I have an online Java game I'm working on, how would I go about making it so that it was able to "know" which facebook user was logged in and who their friends are? (It's sort of a social writing game and I want users to be able to choose which friends are allowed to edit the story)
On your web page, have the facebook login button plugin to get people to log in. Then you can grab their user id for friends using one of the SDKs (your choice...what ever is easiest to integrate into your java code) and then pass that info into your java app.
