Is it possible to import your facebook contacts into the app?
Similar to Draw Something and Words With Friends and other social games, how you can play against your Facebook friends and see them all inside the app… Is this possible to achieve with Corona?
Thanks,

I’m working on that with an app. Yes it can be done. It’s a pain in the patutty though.
You have to login.
Then you have to fetch the “me” object (probably not required, but…)
Then you have to fetch the “me/friends”. This is a pain for a couple of reasons. Players can have a ton of friends and you don’t want to download the whole list at once, so you have to code in some pagination.
Once you have the list of friends, then you have to iterate over them and download their photos if you want to show pics.
Then you need to display them which is a perfect job for a tableView so you have to figure out how to integrate the widget library and all its kinks.
It’s a bit of work but doable.
